Best Msemen & Beghrir in Casablanca

Msemen and Beghrir are the twin pillars of the Moroccan breakfast and tea-time ritual. Msemen is a square folded flatbread cooked on a griddle until crisp and flaky. Beghrir is a spongy pancake riddled with tiny holes that act as perfect syrup vessels. Both are traditionally served warm and drenched in melted butter and sweet honey. In Casablanca, these are ubiquitous at neighborhood bakeries and dairy shops called mahlabas.
