Morocco Restaurants

Let this be your restaurant dining guide when visiting Morocco. For other dining choices, see the page on Marrakesh Restaurants.

The more expensive restaurants in Morocco are usually found in the hotels or riads, a good example is the restaurant at the Dar Anebar. They serve the traditional Moroccan cuisine, with a "homely touch." Guests of the raid can spend their mornings eating a "local, homemade" breakfast out in the courtyard or in their room.

The Medina Cafe is a well-rated restaurant in Fez. They serve "fine Moroccan cuisine" in a nice location for "people-watching." Finish off your meal of "pastille" (meat and vegetables wrapped in a pastry crust) with a cup of hot, "potent mint tea."

Morocco is full of affordable-priced dining locations. While in Fez, stop by the Cafe Clock for breakfast, lunch or dinner. Eat a "Clock camel burger with homemade taza ketchup" while enjoying the Moroccan music and free WiFi.
