Most visitors only scratch the surface of Fes, sticking to the well-trodden lanes. This tour goes far deeper, leading you into the heart of the medina’s 9,000 alleyways to discover the city’s real culinary soul.
With 15+ tastings across street carts, tiny family kitchens, and historic local eateries, you’ll experience dishes and traditions you’d be unlikely to find on your own from smoky charcoal-grilled brochettes to heirloom pastries and generations-old recipes. It’s the most flavour-packed way to experience Fes and a rare chance to eat like a true Fassi.
What's Included
Meeting and pickup
Meet just inside the lobby of the Al Attarine Madrasa. Hotels and traditional riads are scattered across Fes' old medina, and the Al Attarine Madrasa sits in the centre making it walkable from most. Here's a pre-filled Google Maps link to our meeting point https://maps.app.goo.gl/znXnQ5y4xzMiftWW8
The tour concludes at the Platz El Mokhifa. Though this is still in the medina, it is next to a taxi rank should you need to take transport back to your hotel or riad.

2Medina of Fez
As the sun sets behind the rooftops of the world’s largest and oldest medina, Fes comes alive with smoky grills, bubbling pots, and food traditions that have been passed down for generations. While most visitors stay close to the main tourist streets, this evening food tour takes you deep into the real medina, navigating its 9,000 alleyways to reach hole-in-the-wall eateries, and family kitchens beloved by locals. Over four hours of feasting, you’ll sample the flavours that define Fassi cuisine. Begin with harira, sticky-sweet chebakia, and crisp sfenj. The journey continues with charcoal-grilled brochettes, silky raïb yogurt, and the city’s iconic pastilla. Deeper inside the medina, taste more traditional dishes: beef khlea and egg tagine, tender steamed mfouar paired with seffa noodles, beef bocadillos, and the famous Fes snail broth infused with over 30 herbs. The evening winds down in an old riad, where you’ll enjoy delicate jawhara pastry scented with orange blossom.
