Selected entries from the current guide for Fès.
Fès, Morocco
At 5 Derb Zerbtana in the Fès medina, Gayza holds an EP Club Expression of the Terroir designation, a recognition that its kitchen connects directly to the ingredients and traditions of its region. A strong case for where the medina's culinary character is most honestly expressed.
Fès, Morocco
Inside a medina riad on Zkak Rouah, NUR reframes Moroccan cooking through a vegetable-forward lens shaped by the Fez region's own markets and spice traditions. Chef Najat Kaanache's international training informs the technique, but the sourcing stays rooted in local producers. The result is a dining room where the food's colour and aromatic intensity match the setting's architectural detail.
Fès, Morocco
Set within a restored 19th-century palace in the heart of Fès el-Bali, Riad Fès holds a 4.6/5 rating and offers Moroccan traditional cuisine under chef Abida. Hispano-Moorish courtyards, a rooftop terrace overlooking the medina, and a kitchen grounded in regional technique make it one of the more considered addresses in a city where riad dining sets the benchmark.
Fès, Morocco
Fès rewards height: from this intimate terrace, the medina reads as a living plan of alleys, minarets and tiled roofs, with the Middle Atlas beyond. Roof Top Bar works as a compact bistro-style stop for Moroccan wine or a cocktail at sunset, when the call to prayer gives the city’s 12-century history a sharper frame.
Fès, Morocco
Amaraz belongs to the evening side of Fès dining, where the city’s pantry matters as much as the room. With no public chef billing or award trail to lean on, the interest is in how the restaurant fits a local table culture shaped by markets, preserved ingredients, slow-cooked dishes, and a late-night rhythm.
Fès, Morocco
In the heart of Fes el-Bali, Berrada represents a category of Fassi dining where the medina itself sets the terms of the experience. The cooking draws on a culinary tradition that predates most of Morocco's contemporary restaurant scene, and the address places guests inside among the more architecturally layered cities in the Arab world. For visitors serious about understanding Fes through its food, this is a reference point worth knowing.
Fès, Morocco
Bistro Laaroussa sits inside Fès medina dining, where the meal is shaped as much by pacing, hospitality, and the movement between street and interior as by the plate. With few public-facing specifics on format or pricing, it is better read as part of the city’s riad-and-medina restaurant culture than as a chef-led destination with published awards.
Fès, Morocco
Bouquet Garni sits in Fès, a city where restaurant cooking often has to answer to a powerful home-cooking tradition and ingredient markets that shape the daily table. The useful way to read it is through sourcing and setting: what a formal meal in Fès can offer beyond the medina’s snack stalls, hotel dining rooms, and riad kitchens.
Fès, Morocco
On a narrow lane off Talaa Kebira in the heart of Fes el-Bali, Cafe Clock occupies a centuries-old riad and operates as one of the medina's most culturally layered gathering points. The kitchen draws on Moroccan pantry traditions while the programming extends well beyond the plate, making it a reference point for travelers wanting substance alongside their meal.
Fès, Morocco
Chiringuito Tapas & Fun brings a Spanish-tapas cue into Fès, a city better known for medina cooking, riad dining rooms, and Moroccan set menus. Its value lies in the contrast: small-plate informality against a local restaurant culture often built around longer meals, tagines, grills, and terrace settings.
Fès, Morocco
Dar Tagine sits inside the Fes el-Bali medina at 71 Darb El Ghorba Guerniz, drawing a local and well-travelled clientele back to its table with the kind of Moroccan home cooking that riad restaurants in flashier cities rarely replicate. The draw is specificity: cooking rooted in Fassi tradition rather than a generalised North African register. It belongs to the tier of medina dining where address alone filters who finds it.
Fès, Morocco
Darori sits behind the Rcif mosque in Fes el-Bali, positioned inside one of the medina's older residential derbs. The address alone signals something about the dining tradition here: meals in this part of Fes happen in spaces that were built for living, not for restaurants. That domestic architecture shapes everything from the pacing of service to the way a table feels when you finally sit down.
Fès, Morocco
Set within the Ziat quarter of Fes el-Bali, L'Amandier occupies the kind of address that rewards those already attuned to the medina's spatial logic. The restaurant operates in a tradition-forward register consistent with Fes's riad dining scene, where the building itself frames the meal as much as the kitchen does. Derb Bensouda provides the postcode; the medina provides the context.
Fès, Morocco
L'Ambre at Riad Fes serves Moroccan-French fine dining with formal, quiet service and a sommelier-led beverage program.
Fès, Morocco
Le Kiosk sits at the Hippodrome Moulay Kamel on the edge of Fes, where the city's ancient medina gives way to open ground and afternoon light. The setting alone positions it apart from the riad-courtyard dining that defines most of the city's better-known addresses. For visitors working through Fes's dining options, it represents a different register entirely.
Fès, Morocco
Located on Rue Talaa Kebira inside Fes el-Bali, Nachō Mama Restaurant occupies one of the medina's most-trafficked thoroughfares at 30 Kantarat Borrouss. The restaurant trades in a format that sits apart from the riad dining rooms that dominate the Fes premium scene, offering a more informal point of entry into the medina's eating culture. Contact and booking details are best confirmed locally on arrival.
Fès, Morocco
A riad dining room buried inside the Fes el-Bali medina, The Ruined Garden trades on the city's tradition of courtyard hospitality: centuries-old architecture, the ambient sounds of a working neighbourhood, and Moroccan cooking served in settings that most visitors never reach. Getting there is half the proposition, and planning ahead is non-negotiable.
Fès

Fès, Morocco
A 14th-century Hispano-Moorish palace in the heart of Fès el-Bali, Riad Fès operates as a Relais & Châteaux property with 30 rooms and a formal restaurant, Gayza, that merges Moroccan technique with French haute cuisine traditions. Moroccan-owned and architect-designed, it sits at the upper end of the medina's riad accommodation tier, with rates from US$226 per night.
Fès, Morocco
A double award-winner recognised as both Morocco's Luxury Boutique Hotel of the Year and a Regional Winner for Luxury Romantic Hotels, Riad Mayfez Suites & Spa occupies the Douh quarter of Fez's medina. The property sits in the tier of riads that trade on intimate scale and genuine craft over chain-hotel amenity, positioning it alongside the city's most considered boutique options.
Fès, Morocco
A 17th-century Maqfia harem-palace in Fès's Andalous Quarter, Karawan Riad operates across seven suites at approximately $350 per night. A decade of considered renovation has brought underfloor heating, Italian rain showers, and a French-Fassi dining programme into a property defined by carved plaster, zellije tilework, and private terrace access, without erasing the palatial gravity that makes the address meaningful.
Fès, Morocco
A 17th-century, eight-room riad positioned inside Fes el Bali's Bechara quarter, within walking distance of the medina's tanneries, madrasas, and souks. Restored decorative plasterwork, an in-house hammam, guest-only cooking classes with market visits, and a rooftop terrace with medina views set it apart from hotels outside the walls. Rates from approximately $269 per night.
Fès, Morocco
A hillside retreat above Fez's ancient medina, Hotel Sahrai sits at the intersection of contemporary Moroccan design and centuries-old craft tradition. The views across minarets and rooftops set the architectural scene before you cross the threshold.
Fès, Morocco
Set within Fès's historic royal gardens district, Fes Marriott Jnan Palace has earned three award distinctions, Regional Winner for Luxury Lifestyle Hotel, Country Winner for Luxury Design Hotel, and Continent Winner for Luxury Culinary Hotel, placing it at the upper tier of Morocco's competitive luxury hospitality market. The property's architecture and culinary programming together form a case study in how large-format hotels in the medina's orbit can compete on design and food credentials, not just scale.
Fès, Morocco
A restored 17th-century palace in Fes el-Bali, Palais AMANI sits inside the medina at 12 Derb El Miter, where Andalusian courtyard architecture meets considered hospitality. The property occupies a tier of riad-style accommodation defined by low room counts, formal service culture, and proximity to the city's historic craft quarters. For Fes, it represents the more deliberate end of the city's heritage accommodation spectrum.
Fès, Morocco
Palais Faraj Suites & Spa occupies a hillside position at the edge of Fez's medina, offering 31 suites decorated in 19th-century Moroccan palace style. The dining programme spans Restaurant L'Amandier, a rooftop garden, and the Golden Bar, all framing medina views. For travellers approaching Fez's imperial architecture through its food and interiors, this is a considered base.
Fès, Morocco
A Michelin Selected riad in the heart of Fès el-Bali, Riad El Amine Fes occupies a restored traditional courtyard house at 94-96 Bouajjara, positioning it inside the medina's compact tier of design-led heritage stays.
Fès, Morocco
Dar Roumana occupies a restored riad at 30 Derb El Amer in the heart of Fes el-Bali, one of the medina's most architecturally intact residential quarters. The property sits within the riad-hotel category that defines premium accommodation in the old city, where courtyard scale, traditional craftsmanship, and proximity to the medina's historic core set the competitive terms. Guests seeking medina immersion over new-city amenities will find this address useful.
Fès, Morocco
Pool & Club R.A.D.E.F occupies a city where the medina's labyrinthine streets have historically defined leisure, making any outdoor pool address in Fes a deliberate counterpoint to the enclosure of the old city. Positioned in Fes 30000, it sits within reach of among the more architecturally dense urban cores in North Africa, offering a physical release that the medina's interior logic rarely permits.
Fès, Morocco
Set within a 13th-century merchant's house in the heart of Fes el-Bali, Riad Jardin des Biehn is among the medina's most considered retreat addresses, where layered garden architecture and a quietly restorative atmosphere define the stay. The property sits inside the old city's residential fabric, placing guests in the living texture of Morocco's oldest imperial capital rather than at its edge.

Fès, Morocco
A Relais & Châteaux property set inside the Fes el-Bali medina, Riad Fes occupies a restored palace where the architecture, zellige tilework, carved cedar ceilings, a central courtyard fountain, does most of the talking. The bar and social spaces position the property inside a small tier of Moroccan riad hotels where the drinking programme carries as much weight as the rooms. Booking is advised well in advance for peak travel months.
