9. Rouge Vanille

10. Oliveri

Last but not least, Oliveri is a place that holds its place in Moroccan history due to its success among Moroccans since 1950. This is the most famous place to get ice cream in Morocco, and if you go to any big cities like Marrakech or Casablanca, you will always see families going there on the weekends and sometimes, there is even a queue. They have different flavors, like raspberry, praline, chocolate, and much more, but what makes Oliveri different is the freshness you’ll find in the flavors, especially the fruit ones.
