An intimate dining experience in a beautiful setting, dinner at Dar Roumana's restaurant is a must-do for any visitor to Fes. Our talented French chef serves Mediterranean food with a Moroccan twist, and can be described as French/Moroccan 'fusion'. Chang
My husband and I were excited to kick off our anniversary celebration with a romantic meal at Dar Roumana. The atmosphere is beautiful and we sat poolside. It was annoying because the designated smokers table was located right behind us. That was the first strike.Secondly, I ordered a glass of wine. I never received it. Strike two.My husband, a home gourmet cook, ordered the kefta, which according to the menu was supposed to be lamb. He said it tasted like ground beef and had absolutely NO FLAVOR. If we'd been in a less fancy restaurant, he would have definitely asked for catsup. He asked for lemon instead but it barely helped. I had the fresh peach with poor quality prosciutto ham and minuscule pieces of ricotta cheese as my appetizer. My main course was decent, the sea bass fillet, but it was nothing special. The dessert was an absolute joke. We got the bitter dark chocolate tart that was so uninspired. It was like the chef melted some chocolate and put it in a terrible pie crust and called it a dessert. It was bitter (as advertised) but had no other flavor, not even that of chocolate. We gave it to Omar, our porter, as the only way we'd even eat it as a leftover would be dipped in coffee. The meal was the third strike.This was the most expensive restaurant we went to in our three weeks in Morocco. It was also one of our worst meals. You would be much better off going to a local hole in the wall, unless ambience is your main goal. The waiter was pretty nice but not overly attentive. I give Dar Roumana a hard pass.Dear Dragonfly 727, Thank you for taking time and sharing your review on TripAdvisor.We had the pleasure to welcome you at Dar Roumana for dinner with your husband who have acted the entire dinner time as weird as impossible to the point he attracted the attention of most the people who were dining that night. Starting with asking the waiter if there a female waitress to serve you instead of having a man, then asking very strange questions for the waiter about other client's dining.To answer your strikes:1- The restaurant is a non-smoking and the only designated to smoke is the rooftop terrace.2- We don't serve wine by glass either half or full bottle.3- We receive every day comments and feedback from travellers all over the world who simply love the food and restaurant.4- The waiter could have been amazing if a lady who serves you as requested by your husband.The entire charge for your meal was about 70 Dollars which is a fair price to have dinner in Fez.Kind Regards The Management

I previously wrote a review of the restaurant on their hotel page, so I am reposting it here on the restaurant page. After reading reviews and seeing this spot on some travel blogs, we booked a rooftop dinner expecting the best. Sadly, the experience was very mediocre and the views not that great. Coming from Riad Le Calife which has a much better view and menu, we were disappointed to waste one of our nights in Fes on this restaurant. We found the food to be a little bland - we ordered to couscous with Moroccan salads. I would not recommend this place overall.

This restaurant is fabulous. F*** tajine, go with tacos or wraps ala Morocco. Well, after eating tajine for a week, this was a welcome change. Although it offers tacos and wraps, it is prepared in moroccan style. Tomato and chickpea soup is great. Falafel yum. Beef tacos perfect. Go here, you will eat tajine after.

Restaurant Ouliya located in the heart of the old Medina of Fes, yet close to city center and most of the beautiful attractions.
If you visit Fes, you must dine at Restaurant Ouliya. This restaurant is located in Riad Ouliya, inside the Médina. We stayed at the Riad and dined there each evening. The authentic Moroccan food was absolutely delicious! The restaurant is open to all, not just for those who stay at the Riad. Itâs rated #6 in Fes, so make sure you add this restaurant to your list.

Dar Darori is a well preserved beautiful traditional house (just in the middle of the historic center of the Medina of Fez) , where you can discover the very best of the Fassi culinary art. The beauty of the setting and decoration, the warm atmosphere, an
came following t.a. recommendations. service was excellent, attentive, warm, friendly. ordered a Harira, chicken Bastilla, salads. salads are served with their own baked, bread. too bad they don't warm the bread in the oven for a few minutes (they never do in Morroco). Harira didn't have the typical silky texture, but to my taste was better than most we had here. Bastilla was excellent - crisp, and spiced with balance. salads were o.k.. design, music and atmosphere add up to a very nice experience. charging 25 dirham for tea, is outrageous in my opinion. actually, would be much nicer, if they would just serve it with the bill, as they often do in places costing 20% of the cost in Darori, still a positive experience."Overall" thank you for this complimentary comment and ... this 4-star rating. We hope to see you again soon and if, be sure that we will make it our duty to warm up Your Bread especially for You... (although it is cooked a few hours before): we do our best to satisfy our customers! However, I truly don't understand why you find it "outrageous" to have to pay for a tea, but should have complained and we would have offered it to you for free! :)Darori!

This is a beautifully architecturally restored Riad.The staff here is wonderful.Samar, Hamid, Ayman go out of their way to make sure that your stay is amazing.The room is clean and roomy and quiet. The location is ideal, conveniently close to the Medina but not in the hustle bustle.The spa service and hammam is clean and a plus.The rooftop restaurant and Mama Fatima traditional family cooking is a must have experience in Fes.Definitely recommended.

Welcome to our Moroccan coffee restaurant Al Oud we present a different type of Tagine and typical food from all over Morocco we would like to share our experience with people from all over the world to check our special tasty food.
Stopped by here while walking through the Médina, has a nice little view down the street and some outdoor seating to get amongst it. The food was great and perfect lunch portions. Much better food than the over popular tourist trap style stores closer to the blue gate. Worth the short stroll to reach it!
