Northern Morocco · Imperial City
Fes is widely considered Morocco’s culinary capital — if Marrakech is the country’s stage, Fes is its kitchen. Inside the world’s largest car-free medina you taste pastilla, slow-cooked Fassi tagines and harira much as the city has made them for centuries, then watch leather dyed by hand at the Chouara tanneries.
The dishes, markets and food experiences worth your appetite — drawn from our own guides on the ground. We point you to what to eat and where the locals eat it, not invented restaurant rankings.
Street food in Fes is broadly safe with a little judgment: eat where it is busy, choose hot freshly-cooked items, be cautious with raw salads and tap water. Fes is friendlier to vegetarians than its reputation suggests — but ask about meat stock in soups and couscous. A simple rule of thumb: hot, fresh and popular. Prices range widely; confirm current rates when you book.
