Best gourmet restaurants in Fez
1. Restaurant Gayza (Riad Relais & Châteaux Hotel)
From our 1st evening in Fez, we were looking for a choice experience in the medina, and we weren’t disappointed! Restaurant Gayza transported us into a refined universe where traditional Moroccan architecture meets culinary excellence. Located in a riad in the heart of the old town, the ceiling moldings, the Andalusian patio illuminated by a lighted fountain and the traditional arcades testifying to the ancestral skills of local artisans did not leave us indifferent. Once you’ve ordered your dinner, you’ll find that the atmosphere is enhanced by Arabo-Andalusian music and the performance of an oud player. You’ll also discover a meticulously staged setting, with beautiful pottery arranged around the tables and simple yet elegant crockery for the table setting.
In the kitchen, chef Lalla Abida perpetuates a savoir-faire handed down from mother to daughter for several generations, revisiting traditional Moroccan dishes with brio. We particularly enjoyed the aniseed semolina appetizer, the fine Moroccan salads featuring pumpkin compote and excellent gnaoua beans, followed by the seafood pastilla and spicy fruit tagine. The black sesame bread is an excellent accompaniment to these dishes, which feature seasonal fruit and vegetables from local, sustainably-farmed producers. If you’d like to extend the experience, theHôtel Riad Relais & Châteaux Fès and its gourmet restaurant offer cooking classes with Lalla Abida, who runs the operation with the team.
The sommelier was a great help in matching our dishes to the many references on the wine list. In the end, we opted for the cuvée Tandem Syrah du Morocco 2021, a wonderful discovery!

Best bistronomic restaurants in Fez
3. Ishq Restaurant
Open since October 2023, Restaurant Ishq took us on a journey with its surprisingly artistic decor and highly creative cuisine. Housed in a tastefully restored old house at the gateway to the medina, this place cultivates a remarkable sense of detail. First of all, the name caught our attention. The term exists in more than 30 languages in Africa, Asia and Europe, in various variants. A lot of poetry is already hidden in this bistronomic table name. “Ishq”, which means passion and love in Arabic, evokes a cuisine conceived as an act of hospitality, driven by the pleasure of receiving and sharing.
We loved the library and the cosy space, the black wrought-iron chandeliers and the traditional Moroccan straw wall ornaments that immerse you in a captivating atmosphere. You’ll notice the table decorations and colorful plates that evoke modern art paintings, giving the restaurant a real personality.
Once at the table, we discovered a fusion cuisine that subtly combines ingredients for an explosion of flavors on the palate. All dishes are homemade using local Moroccan produce. For our part, we were delighted with an appetizer of yellow pepper-pineapple velouté with goat’s cheese and pistou sauce, a lamb mouse with caramelized onions and steamed pear, and a pastilla with gazelle horn milk and orange blossom almond ice cream. The homemade sesame and poppy bread, served warm and soft, is the perfect accompaniment to this refined cuisine. Finally, before you leave, take a trip to the rooftop for a breathtaking view of the Merinid Tombs and the medina. A pleasure for your taste buds, your eyes will remember it too!

4. MB Restaurant Lounge
Now we’re heading for the new town or “Fès-Jdid”, where we turned a corner and pushed open the doors of Restaurant MB. This softly lit design establishment was conceived by architect Christophe Pillet, creator of an enveloping, mineral and graphic universe. Immerse yourself in this dizzying two-level space. Have you noticed that it is reminiscent of a luxurious indoor terrace, where cliffs of grey natural stone and walls of smoked mirror create infinite perspectives? We appreciated the sense of excess and openness to the sky that this contemporary setting provides. The muted ambience features red armchairs, dark walls and low lighting, inviting you to relax. Furniture designed by Italian manufacturers is inspired by contemporary art, combining comfort and modernity in every space.
The kitchen team fuses Moroccan terroir with French savoir-faire. On the à la carte menu, you’ll find revisited dishes accompanied by a fine selection of local and foreign wines.
