Cafe Clock Chefchaouen Cooking Classes are hands-on Moroccan cooking sessions held at Cafe Clock, 3 Derb Tijani, in the medina of Chefchaouen, in the Tangier-Tetouan-Al Hoceima region of northern Morocco. The cafe is part of the Cafe Clock group, which is known across Morocco for cultural programming alongside its food, and the Chefchaouen branch offers cooking classes among its activities. The listing does not state how long the Chefchaouen branch has been running the classes, so no founding date is given. The classes take place in the cafe's kitchen in the medina, close to the main square, Plaza Uta el-Hammam. The format is a half-day session in which participants prepare Moroccan dishes themselves and then eat the meal they have cooked, so the experience combines instruction with lunch or dinner. The exact menu, number of dishes and balance of savoury and sweet items are not specified in the listing and are likely to vary by session, so visitors should confirm the menu when booking; Moroccan cooking classes commonly centre on a tagine or couscous, salads and mint tea, with a sweet element at the end. The price is not published in the listing and varies, so visitors should confirm the current rate on the cafe's website. The listing includes the cooking itself and the meal of the dishes prepared. Transport, extra drinks and tips are not described as included. Group size and language are not stated, although the cafe's international clientele means English is commonly used; visitors should check when booking. The listing does not describe dietary substitutions, but the cafe's menu is known to include vegetarian options, so vegetarians and guests with allergies should ask in advance. The pace of a half-day class is relaxed, with time for questions. Chefchaouen's medina is steep and stepped, so comfortable shoes are useful for arriving at the cafe, and an apron or old clothes are sensible for cooking. Classes are available year-round, subject to booking and availability.
