🇲🇦 The Right Way to Experience Fes: A Foodie’s Paradise!

Fes is deliciously underrated—here’s how to eat your way through the medina like a pro: ⭐ Stop 1: Rujia Restaurant ✔️ Halal Chinese food (no pork) ✔️ Owner gives portion guidance + local tips (even currency exchange spots!) ✔️ Zero bad dishes—order blindly! ⭐ Stop 2: Medina Main Streets Two food-packed lanes—walk one to the university, then loop back via the other. Must-tries: ❤️ Brother Barbecue (near medina entrance): Grill your own meat (buy from nearby butchers, 20-25 MAD/kg cooking fee). 4 people = ~100 MAD for a feast! 🤯 ❤️ Rose Tea & Berber Coffee: Any stall works (10-20 MAD). Pro tip: Cheaper farther from the entrance! ❤️ Persimmon Smoothie (unphotographed but legendary): Blended persimmon + milk + ice (20 MAD). ❤️ Almond Smoothie (near university): Creamy almond milk (heaven for nut lovers). Skip the "dumplings" (sweet filling = divisive). ❤️ Moroccan Coffee & Spices: 220 MAD/kg coffee beans (we haggled to 50 MAD/250g + free grinding!). Bonus: Cinnamon & dried orange peel. ❤️ Chouara Tannery: Stunning but stinky—you’ve been warned! ❤️ Street Snacks: Fried eggplant/pepper sandwiches (5 MAD) = Chinese kebab vibes. Arabic "double-layer milk" (7 MAD) = like shuangpi nai (双皮奶). Snail soup (2 MAD, spice-heavy—try it for the story!). ❤️ Juice Stands: Orange/pomegranate/sugarcane blends (all 10 MAD). ⭐ Why Fes > Marrakech? ✔️ No motorcycles = quieter, cleaner air. ✔️ Friendlier locals (though still watch for scams). ✔️ More authentic, less touristy prices. #MoroccoEats #FesFoodTour #MedinaMunchies #TravelOnABudget
