Best Cafés in Fes (2026)

Cafés in Fes are as much about the view and the pause as about coffee. In the upper medina, Café Clock is the best-known stop, a multi-storey house off Tala'a Kebira with a roof terrace, its famous camel burger and a busy programme of music and classes. Nearby, Fondouk Bazaar serves small plates and an orange-blossom lassi on a rooftop above the street, and Nagham Cafe and Medina Café, both beside Bab Bou Jeloud, are practical places for juice, breakfast or a quick meal before you set off.

For a calmer break, head to the gardens. Café La Noria, beside the Jnan Sbil gardens between the two old cities, is a colourful spot for fresh juice under the trees, especially when the orange trees blossom in spring. At the other end of the scale, the Tea Room at Palais Faraj offers mint tea beside a palace pool on the edge of the medina. Opening hours at smaller cafés are often informal, so check on the day, carry cash, and expect hours to change during Ramadan. Rooftops are best in the morning or late afternoon, as midday sun on a terrace can be fierce in summer.
