The guide’s ranking · Casablanca

Best Snail Soup
in Casablanca

Snail soup is a beloved and unique Moroccan street food delicacy enjoyed on cool evenings. The brown land snails are cooked in a highly aromatic broth of over fifteen herbs. The flavor is defined by bitter orange peel, licorice root, thyme, and hot chili. Vendors serve the snails in small bowls with toothpicks to extract the meat. Drinking the dark medicinal broth at the end is considered excellent for digestion.
