Fez is the undisputed culinary capital of Morocco. Its medina kitchens have been perfecting recipes for centuries, and the flavors here are bolder, deeper, and more complex than anywhere else in the country. From Pastilla to Tagine, explore the dishes that make Fez a food lover's paradise.
1. Pastilla (B'stilla)
This iconic Fez specialty is a flaky pie filled with pigeon (or chicken), almonds, eggs, and spices, dusted with cinnamon and powdered sugar. The sweet-savory combination is uniquely Moroccan and utterly addictive.
2. Lamb Tagine with Prunes
Slow-cooked for hours in a conical clay pot, the lamb becomes impossibly tender while the prunes add a honeyed sweetness that balances the warm spices of cumin, ginger, and saffron.
3. Rfissa
A celebratory dish of shredded msemen (flatbread) soaked in a lentil and chicken broth flavored with fenugreek. It's comfort food at its finest — hearty, warming, and aromatic.
