Welcome to Our Ftour!

Ftour and Iftar are Arabic words for breakfast, whereas Ftour is the more popular term to use in Morocco. The same words also denote the evening meal taken to break a religious fast, most notably during the month of Ramadan. 


For ideas of what may be served at a typical Moroccan breakfast or when breaking the fast at sunset, there are several classic and traditional family foods that are served. First of all, there is no alcohol. Alcohol is forbidden in Islam. While Ramadhan is a time to be celebrant and pious, there is no alcohol to be had. 

Usually, a Ftour consists of Moroccan Pan-Fried Breads such as Msemen or Meloui with Khlii Harcha, which is a Semolina-based Flatbread. Other foods that would be served include soups for breaking with the fast, such as a very healthy and rustic herbal soup consisting of wheat base, generally mixed with milk. Another popular soup is a Hssoua Belboula, which is a barley-based soup, with Milk.

Semolina, the grain of couscous and pastas, are very well liked within Morocco. Semolina soup with milk is a very popular food that Moroccans look forward to having for Ftour. But while these foods are traditional, international foods from France are also very well received and in high demand. For example, anise and honey popular French pastries are most beloved by Moroccans. As well as almond croissants, and petit pain au chocolat chneik.

Come for a bowl of soup and a loaf of fresh bread, and spend a Layla Baydaa (Naytar) with us!
