Palais AMANI

"Palais Amani is one of the most romantic Fes riad dining experiences. Tinkling fountains? Check. Orange trees strung with twinkling lanterns? Check. Rose petals strewn hither and thither? Check. Start your meal with a rooftop aperitifto admire the 360-degree views of the medina, or with a beefy red wine fireside in the lounge instead; then, feast on chef Houssam Laassiri’s modern spin on traditional dishes like slow-cooked beef tagine or confit duck with prunes, as well as a divine chocolate mousse. The restaurant hosts occasional pop-ups, too,featuring celebrated chefs from the U.K. and Europe, so keep an eye on the hotel's website for what’s up next."

Palais Amani

"A nondescript doorway down an alleyway deep in the medina conceals one of the city’s largest and most beautifully restored palaces. Converted in 2010 to a riad-style accommodation with a five-star approach to service—Amani offers personalized hammam experiences, turndown service, and a 24-hour concierge—the 14-room hotel centers around an exquisitely tiled and citrus-perfumed courtyard that in the evening plays host to a market-driven Moroccan restaurant that serves a faithful rendition of Fez’s classic dish, the bastilla, an indulgent dish that sees rich pigeon meat wrapped in flaky filo pastry dusted with cinnamon and sugar."
