9 places within 14 minutes on foot of Jemaa el-Fnaa. Start with Nomad, 6 min walk: calamari salad with green chermoula, or the slow-cooked lamb shoulder with prunes.
The trap to skip
Anything you didn't order, even the olives that look free, and stalls that won't show prices. Sit where the locals sit and count your change.
