Moroccan food is more than tagine, and nowhere is that truer than in Fes. Fassi cuisine is one of the country’s most respected regional food traditions, but navigating the world’s largest medina, with over 9,000 alleyways, can be overwhelming without local knowledge.
This tour cuts through the maze and takes you straight to the flavours that define the city, from humble street carts to generations-old kitchens hidden deep inside the medina. With 15+ tastings, you’ll sample iconic dishes like pastilla, bissara, tagine l’bid b khlea, charcoal-grilled brochettes, and more, all at places most visitors would never find on their own.
Beyond the food, you’ll gain real insight into Fassi culture a...

Our Fes food tour offers guests a culinary experience around the oldest and largest medina in the world. It's a carefully curated food adventure, led by our team of Fes tastemakers.
Before we get started, our tour reflects the local cuisine, and the limitations of street food vendors and local eateries mean we cannot cater for every dietary restriction. Here's an honest appraisal for the tour, so no-one is disappointed:
✔ Suitable for halal and no pork diets
✘ Unsuitable for vegetarian and vegan diets, as the number of tastings would be very limited.
✘ Unsuitable for severe allergies, gluten intolerance, celiac and lactose intolerance

Fes
Step inside the world’s largest living medina and discover why Fes is considered the culinary heart of Morocco. With over 9,000 winding alleyways, this UNESCO-listed maze hides generations of food traditions that most visitors never find on their own. On this small-group food tour, you’ll explore the medina through its kitchens, stalls, and street food, led by a knowledgeable tastemaker guides.
Over four hours and 15+ tastings, you’ll eat your way deep into local Fassi food culture, not fine dining. Begin with warm sfenj doughnuts straight from the fryer, buttery kaab el ghazal, and the city’s famous pastilla. From there, the experience unfolds into silky bissara fava bean soup, creamy raïb yogurt, rich l’bid b khlea, and aromatic steamed mfouar.
Then there's smoky charcoal-grilled brochettes, crispy battered seafood, and other surprises tucked into hidden corners of the medina. The tour finishes with delicate jawhara pastry scented with almond and orange blossom.
