MatthiasDecember 28, 2018We found this gem of a restaurant. Don‘t believe kids telling you the restaurant would be full or closed. You‘ll enter a green oasis where you can enjoy moroccan tapas and some drinks to refresh.👌🏼

Can BilgiçOctober 1, 2017Probably the best place to eat in Fez! Staff speaks very well English and very helpful. Their service for lunch is like tapas. Also, you can try orange-date milk coffee which is my favorite drink.

Rodion KryuchkovJune 11, 2018Great choice of vegetarian dishes! Very good prices, private and cozy garden tables. Can be very full of people for lunch/dinner time, but you can make a reservation by phone or email.Upvote1Downvote
Eleonora F.December 10, 2017Top!! The food is just delicious! Some of the best I’ve ever had in Fes! The dates and orange blossom milk is just lit!! Lovely to sit and enjoy your food and drinks in the garden!

X LiuSeptember 21, 2018They have different menu every day, the lamb with zucchini tagine is delicious, which is not too sweet compared to others. Warm bread, a good indicator for nice restaurant.

Simon OpsomerOctober 27, 2019It’s a very nice place to relax and eat. The setting is cosy and the food delicious. Seffa and makouda were great. Ignore the kids trying to show the way, it’s easy to find.UpvoteDownvote

John LeeOctober 24, 2017Pre-order the 7-hour lamb if you can. Definitely make reservations -- every walk-in we saw was turned away. Note there are some cats who hang around the garden, so maybe bring your meds if allergic.UpvoteDownvote
Xenia TemchenkoJanuary 30, 2017Delicious! Beautiful! We've tried a bit of everything and were happy! And very important - you can pay with a card!

CarrieOctober 12, 2019Really enjoyed all the tapas, particularly the aubergine and the potato croquette. Chocolate mousse dessert was nice too. Very nice space to relax in general.UpvoteDownvote
Noah WeissFebruary 7, 2016An absurdly cool indoor/outdoor vibe with the best, most inventive food in Fes. Must go.

Damon SununtnasukMarch 28, 2018Heavily signposted restaurant offers decent food, but far from "local" /authentic. Prices reflect the tourist crowd. The artichoke salad and date & saffron cream dessert were quite nice.Upvote1Downvote
Ami-Jayne RobinsonApril 18, 2016Nice atmosphere and good food. Meatball tagine was a particular favourite. There was also a cooking class taking place while we were there, looked nice :)Upvote1Downvote
Alina J.April 8, 2024The place is indeed beautiful and service is nice. Moroccan trio salad and briwat trio were our favourites, main dishes did not impress.Upvote1Downvote
Anar KučeraNovember 2, 2018Very cosy restaurant in middle of Medina, great value for money. They had excellent Moroccan food and also offer cooking classes.UpvoteDownvote- Sarah SG.April 6, 2017Nice place. Chicken tajin, beef and almond kefta, and the vegetarian tajin are delicious. Location is not accurate on the map.UpvoteDownvote
Serhat GedikDecember 24, 2014Nice place, very good ambiance. Stuff was very friendly and the food was very good. We allready reservated for tomorrow to come again.Upvote1Downvote
Little ScrapesMarch 25, 2015Opens from about midday to 9.30pm. Does NOT serve alcohol. Tables are outdoors so bring warm clothes if it's cold. Recommend the sardine tagine. Pay as you leave at the cash register by the entrance.UpvoteDownvote- Jamie WNovember 24, 2019Reminded me of a ruin bar in Budapest, beautiful and quaint. Delicious tagines and very friendly staffUpvoteDownvote
Adrian AlvaMay 23, 2022Beautifully place with simple menu. Go for goat cheese and lamb tagine.

Agnieszka GórskaOctober 12, 2014It is more like a Morrocan restaurant run by English owners and targeted at European tourists. Not too authentic nevertheless food is ok and the garden tables are charming. Pricey.

Ailsa TappingDecember 8, 2017The food is overpriced and bland (I ordered a vegetable tagine and received a steamed potato, carrot and courgette in a bowl, that was it.) The staff member who served me was also very rude.Upvote2Downvote
