Fes has its own food traditions, and the medina is the place to taste them. We start with bissara, a warm fava bean soup eaten for breakfast, then follow the smell of fresh bread to the communal ovens.
Along the way you'll try olives, honey, nougat and makouda, and finish with a slice of pastilla, the sweet-and-savory pie Fes is famous for.
Bissara and bread straight from the oven.
Olives, honey and dried fruit.
Makouda, msemen and whatever is fresh.
Sit down to finish with pastilla and mint tea.
