Dar Roumana

A breathtaking riad restaurant in the heart of the medina with candlelit courtyards and exquisite Moroccan cuisine. The b'stilla is delicate and aromatic, and every course is a work of art. Reserve ahead and dress for the occasion.

Cafe Clock

A legendary cultural hub serving the famous camel burger alongside traditional dishes. The rooftop has medina views, and there's often live music or storytelling. A meeting point for travelers and locals alike.

Restaurant Dar Hatim

Hidden deep in the medina, this family-run spot serves traditional Fassi cuisine in a quiet riad setting. The harira and tajines are home-cooked perfection. Ask for the tasting menu and let them take care of you.

Chez Thami

A simple, unpretentious spot near Bab Rcif serving excellent tajines to locals and in-the-know travelers. The lamb with prunes is tender and sweet, and the prices are refreshingly fair. The real deal.
