About the Taste of Fez
Fez eats well and eats early, and almost none of the best food is in a restaurant. This tasting route follows the stalls and hole-in-the-wall counters that locals queue at — a bowl of bissara at a bean stand, msemen folded on a hot plate, sfenj passed over on a loop of string, grilled brochettes, a camel-meat sandwich if you are brave, and pastries with mint tea to finish.
Your guide orders in Darija, explains what you are eating and why it matters here, and paces the stops so you actually finish. Between bites you cover the spice souk, the bakeries where families still send their dough, and the covered market that supplies most of the old city.
Your tasting route, stop by stop
Meet at your riad
A quick word on what you can and cannot eat, then straight into the medina.
Breakfast the Fez way
Bissara with olive oil and cumin, and msemen straight off the griddle.
The spice and olive souk
Ras el hanout blended in front of you, preserved lemons, and olives sorted by cure.
The neighbourhood bakery
The communal oven where families still send their bread, and sfenj fried to order.
Grills and sandwiches
Brochettes, kefta and the sandwich counters locals actually rate.
Pastries and mint tea
Almond briouats, chebakia and tea to finish, sitting down at last.
