"Famille Restaurant Berrada is worth a visit for the decor alone:a wildly out-of-control collection of ancient clocks and dusty trinkets piled high on a bar, with pressed-concrete tiles and a kitchen that stillcookslargely by fire. There’s no menu. Instead, you’ll be taken out back to sample theday's offerings from a series of pots(usually a selection of meat- or legume-based stews), and then, as youdine, Monsieur Berrada, who issomewherenorth of 70 years old, will perform handstands and somersaults forhisadoring public."
My favorite meal in Fes by far. The owners are so sweet, and truly make you feel welcome. They let you sample all the food they have that day so you know exactly what you're getting when you order. They bring tea and several salads for the table included in your meal. Heard the owners tell the table next to us (who eventually decided that they only wanted tea) that they didnt need to pay because he wanted them to feel welcome. He even told my vegan friend that she didn't need to pay for her meal. We did anyway bc we felt so welcomed by this family.

Delicious food, beautifully decorated interior (upstairs and downstairs), very friendly and helpful wait staff. They let you have a taste of each of the 4 (or 5?) tajines they make so you can choose which to order. In the medina, but quiet and relaxing once you enter. If you're in Fes, go now. Otherwise, start planning your trip to Fes!

Morocco! You can sample the dishes to make sure you like them! All of the staff are extremely friendly! Our tour guide tried taking us to a different restaurant(which he obviously was getting a commission for). We insisted on going to this place because of the reviews! We are so glad we did!! We would eat here for every meal if we could!!! The picture below is my plate FINISHED!😋

Hidden gem.. seriously most restaurants in and around are touristy but this one felt more authentic and food tastes very good. Price is also affordable 50 to 80 MAD for tagine. They give you food to taste and then you can select which one you like..

MUST visit when in fez. You will leave with a full stomach and heart and a smile on your face. I would actually review this place 10 stars out of 5!
The food is authentic and delicious made by the owners mom herself. So you are guaranteed a good authentic meal
They offer you a trial of the dishes before you pick so you can be happy with what you get. Beyond this they also offer you unlimited moroccan tea and bread but ALSO some dips. If you ask for more of anything they happily serve it to you with a warm smile.
You may be scared this is a tourist trap or gimmick but it was not! The bill only contained the 2 dishes and the water we ordered (150 dhs).
But beyond the food the extra 5 stars I would give this place is because of the warm generous and hospitable service.
I have had the opportunity to eat at many places all around the world of all price ranges, and i have never had the pleasure of leaving a restaurant feeling so content.

Really loved my visit here. Was treated on a sincere welcome and got to choose my meal by way of tasting the options of the day in the kitchen. I also received several side dishes which really turned it into a filling and hearty meal. You really get to feel like a guest rather than the umpteenth tourist coming by, which goes a long way in Fez. And have I mentioned it's very affordable, too? I warmly recommend!
