Fès Restaurants

  1. Café Ba Bouchta

    Opposite the funduq is this very old café'. A small wood fire, pumped up with bellows, heats water in a copper urn; sugar is chipped off a large cone with a special hammer, and men sit playing cards in the L-shaped room. Sit on a stool at the window and watch the square below. Mint tea is around DH3 and coffee Dh3.

  4. Café Jawharat Fes

    Staff and students at the nearby American Language Center couldn't believe their luck when this café recently opened its doors. The Gulf-style décor is over-the-top, but the service is friendly and professional, the terrace is pleasant and the coffee isn't bad. Best of all, it offers free wifi.

  6. Cremerie La Place

    This is one of the best people-watching spots in the medina. Friendly Mostapha serves excellent mint tea or coffee, freshly squeezed orange juice and pastries. Sit on stools in the tiny space inside, or spread out on the pavement in this prettiest of squares and watch the coppersmiths hammering away, and the passing parade.

  7. Medina Café

    Nestling in the shadow of Bab Bou Jeloud, this pretty café is a good choice if you feel in need of a restorative mint tea (around DH12 ) or coffee (around DH10 ) after battling the medina crowds. Its clean toilets and friendly service deserve commendation, but the food on offer can be disappointing.
