Fes Flavours Food Tour with 15+ Tastings

Show all photos
4 hours (approximately)
Offered in: English

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 and culinary traditions, leaving with the confidence to continue exploring Fes’s food scene independently.

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.
