For many of us, stopping by a fine grocery store before heading home to prepare ftour has become a cherished Ramadan ritual. No matter the long queues or the growling of our empty stomachs intensified by the enticing aromas… We’re willing to wait to pick out those sweet or savory bites that will perfectly round off our meals! The truth is, these gourmet delis know exactly how to tempt our taste buds. Their beautifully arranged displays are a feast for the eyes. Whether you’re looking for traditional Moroccan pastries or hoping to spice up your menu with exotic flavors, the hardest part will be resisting the urge to try everything!

La P’tite Epicerie du Terroir

A must-visit for Rabat foodies who appreciate locally sourced products, La P’tite Epicerie du Terroir turns into a gourmet paradise during Ramadan. Naturally, you’ll find a fine selection of high-quality regional products—olive oils, dates, fresh cheeses, fragrant honeys, and seasonal artisanal jams, all alongside spices and dried fruits. Everything you need to enhance your recipes or add a touch of sweetness. During the holy month, in addition to the classic chebakias and sellou, this spot is best known for its savory specialties. We absolutely love their chicken croquettes, salmon & chive or four-cheese quiches. They are simply divine! Be sure to order in advance or arrive early—they sell out fast!

Nely’s

Among the must-visit gourmet stores in Morocco this Ramadan, make sure to add Nely’s to your list.

On the traditional side, Nely’s also features artisanal shortbread cookies, briouates, chebakias, and sellou. Our editorial team’s favorite? The jams, especially Meryem Cherkaoui’s raspberry and orange blossom creation. Spread on a warm msemen, it melts to perfection!

Hédonia

At Hédonia, every carefully selected product tells a flavorful story. During Ramadan, this boutique invites you to craft your ftours and dinners by blending global influences with Moroccan traditions. Think eggplant with pepper and pecorino to fill your batbouts, mustard infused with tapenade or honey and dill to enhance your meats or fish. Spirulina or mint-infused honeys for drizzling over crêpes. And a variety of oils, sauces, and spices to spark your inner chef’s creativity.

On the chocolate and confectionery front, Hédonia continues to offer ultra-gourmet assortments throughout Ramadan. Beautifully packaged, they also make fantastic gifts. We were especially taken with their new “Mosque Architecture” collection, featuring boxes of fakias adorned with illustrations of the world’s most stunning mosques!

The delicacies of Morocco

Among Morocco’s fine grocery stores, this one stands out for its selection of honey-based products, spreads, and semolina. Les Douceurs du Maroc offers the finest specialties from each region of the kingdom. During Ramadan, their honey and spreads are especially popular. For those who prefer traditional flavors, we recommend pairing your msemens and baghrirs with classic orange blossom or lavender honey, as well as authentic amlou beldi. For the more adventurous palates, the orange and chocolate amlou, ginger-infused honey, or anise-flavored honey are sure to impress.

One last recommendation for soup lovers and energy ball enthusiasts: the boutique offers ancient and organic semolinas, handcrafted by women’s cooperatives. The zammita beldia or dchicha with seeds are perfect for preparing healthy alternatives to harira!
