Best Restaurants in Fes (2026)

Fes has a reputation as the culinary capital of Morocco, and eating well here ranges from a simple plate of tagine at a street-corner table to a long dinner in a palace. At the budget end, Chez Thami near Bab Bou Jeloud serves inexpensive tajines and couscous all day, while family-run Dar Hatim offers a handful of affordable set menus in a century-old house. La Maison Bleue at Batha has served traditional family recipes for generations, and Dar Roumana cooks a changing Mediterranean-Moroccan menu at just a few tables around its courtyard.

For special occasions, the hotel and riad restaurants lead the way. Gayza at Riad Fès pairs a long-serving Fassi chef with a Meilleur Ouvrier de France, L'Amandier at Palais Faraj serves Moroccan and Mediterranean dishes on a rooftop with medina views, and Amaraz at Hotel Sahrai offers gourmet Moroccan cooking with live lute music. Fez Café in the garden of Le Jardin des Biehn is ideal for a relaxed lunch. Book ahead for the smaller places, ask for directions or to be met, as medina lanes are confusing at night, and remember that many medina restaurants do not serve alcohol, while hotel restaurants usually do.
