In any port city, the seafood is always the best bet for lunch - Essaouira in Morocco is no exception, with numerous stalls by the sea that ply customers with fresh fish, crustaceans and mollusks from the Atlantic.
Grilled meat skewers are among Algeria's most popular street food; take your pick from a pleasurable parade of lamb to chicken, with all the hearts, liver and kidneys you can eat, deliciously seasoned and delightfully smoky.
With a population of fewer than 15,000, the hill village of Testour promises an engaging peek into rural Tunisian life. Its local fare is worth exploring too - buy some bread to pair with the traditional cheese, with wild-picked berries and fresh pomegranate juice for a satisfying refreshment.
With founders who reputedly hail from Ho Chi Minh City, Saigon Avenue does delicious justice to the Vietnamese culinary repertoire: The pho bo is hearty and heartwarming, brimming with beef tenderloin, shin and meatballs (RM17), while the banh mi stuffed with barbecued beef is robustly flavourful, a very worthy lunch for RM11. Beyond beef, we'd return for classics like the stuffed squid, crispy pancake and lemongrass chicken with vermicelli; round out your meal with hot or cold Vietnamese tea. Saigon Avenue P-G-29, Tropicana Avenue, Persiaran Tropicana, Petaling Jaya, Selangor. Daily, 11am-930pm.
