Eating Out During the Fes Festival
The Ruined Garden at Riad Idrissy
The Ruined Garden is a delight! And the good news is that it will operate as a festival green room - where artists, journalists and the audience can mingle between concerts.
Opening hours are between 12 noon and 9.30pm. For those needing to keep in touch there is free Wifi in the garden and snacks, cakes and all day brunch. And there will be no annoying background music - just great ambiance and tranquility.

Café Clock
Cafe Clock is one of the most visited cafes in the medina and because the menu is available all day, it is a perfect place to drop in for food or simply a jice or coffee. If you fancy learning to cook Moroccan cuisine, pick up some of the local Darija (Moroccan Arabic), try a little belly dancing, then check out the Clock cultural programme. (Hint - try the Camel burger!)
Dar Roumana
Dar Roumana comes highly recomended. During the Sacred Music Festival they will be open every day and offering pre-concert dinners (June 7-15).
From 6pm - 8pm Dar Roumana will be offering a smaller menu (2 starters, 2 mains and 2 desserts) for a reduced price of 300dh for three courses or 225dh for two courses For non-concert goers we will also be offering Dar Roumana's usual dinner service from 7.30pm - 9pm.

Street Food
Every year since 2006 The View from Fez has selected Thami's as some of the best street food. It is still great, but there are also many new vendors with good food. The overall quality of Fez street food has grown much better over the last few years and it is recommended.
Tasting Trails - Ceremonial Food
The tour focuses on the sacred and ceremonial foods of Fez and Morocco. Tours will commence at 10am from Boujloud and run for two hours every day throughout the festival except Mondays.

Having a great meal and still having time to get to a concert can be a bit of a juggling act if you don't know your way around the Fez Medina. Fortunately several of the best restaurants have adjusted their hours to fit in with the festival. Between June 7 and 15 you have enough time to try every restaurant!
