Fes food tour
FES EVENING FOOD TOUR β As sun sets behind the rooftops of the worldβs largest and oldest medina, Fes transforms into a maze of smoky grills, and generations-old food traditions still alive in its 9,000 alleyways. Most visitors stick to the main tourist artery, but this roaming food feast leads you deep into the real city to street carts, hole-in-the-wall joints, and family kitchens that have fed Fassis for decades.
Begin with the flavours that define Morocco: soothing harira ladled from bubbling pots, sticky-sweet chebakia, and crisp sfenj pulled straight from the oil. From there, the street food tastings menu continues with charcoal-seared brochettes, comforting kaliente, silky raib yogurt, and the cityβs iconic pastilla. Further inside the medina, tuck into rich khlea and egg tagine, tender steamed mfouar with spiced seffa noodles, beef-mince bocadillos, and snail broth infused with more than 30 herbs, along with other classic Fassi tastes.
The evening winds down in a ancient riad, where sweet jawhara and a perfectly poured glass of Moroccan mint tea is served.
This is Fassi culture you won't find alone.
Why this tour is awesome
Most visitors only scratch the surface of Fes, sticking to the polished, well-trodden lanes, but the cityβs real culinary magic lies far deeper in the medina. This tour takes you into the heart of 9,000 alleyways to taste dishes and traditions youβd never find alone, from smoky brochettes to heirloom pastries and generations-old recipes. With 15+ tastings across street carts, tiny kitchens, and historic eateries, this is the most flavour-packed way to experience Fes and a rare chance to eat like a true Fassi.
