A Taste of Morocco in the Heart of Nature
At Gîte Karima, your stay is not only about relaxation—it's also a delicious culinary journey through the heart of Moroccan flavors. Whether you're enjoying a tranquil lunch by the garden or a cozy dinner after a day of exploring Berkane, every meal is prepared with love, using fresh, local ingredients and traditional recipes.
Here are just a few of the must-try Moroccan specialties we would be delighted to prepare for you (upon request):
Tagine – Slow-cooked to perfection in its iconic ceramic pot, this fragrant dish combines tender meats (like chicken or lamb) with vegetables and Moroccan spices for a melt-in-your-mouth experience.
Couscous – A beloved Friday tradition, this fluffy semolina is served with a colorful mix of vegetables and savory meat, and is both comforting and satisfying.
Harira – A hearty soup made with tomatoes, lentils, chickpeas, and tender pieces of meat. Traditionally served during Ramadan, but available year-round at Gîte Karima.
Pastilla – A unique sweet-and-savory pie made with layers of flaky pastry, filled with spiced meat (usually chicken or pigeon), and dusted with cinnamon and powdered sugar. A truly unforgettable dish! Moroccan Mint Tea – No Moroccan meal is complete without a warm glass of sweet mint tea. It’s more than a drink—it’s a symbol of hospitality and friendship.
Let yourself be tempted by these authentic flavors and enjoy your meals in a peaceful, natural setting surrounded by orange groves and fresh mountain air. Dining at Gîte Karima is more than just food—it’s an experience for all the senses.
