š²š¦ The Right Way to Experience Fes: A Foodieās Paradise!
Fes is deliciously underratedāhereās how to eat your way through the medina like a pro: ā Stop 1: Rujia Restaurant āļø Halal Chinese food (no pork) āļø Owner gives portion guidance + local tips (even currency exchange spots!) āļø Zero bad dishesāorder blindly! ā Stop 2: Medina Main Streets Two food-packed lanesāwalk one to the university, then loop back via the other. Must-tries: ā¤ļø 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! 𤯠ā¤ļø Rose Tea & Berber Coffee: Any stall works (10-20 MAD). Pro tip: Cheaper farther from the entrance! ā¤ļø Persimmon Smoothie (unphotographed but legendary): Blended persimmon + milk + ice (20 MAD). ā¤ļø Almond Smoothie (near university): Creamy almond milk (heaven for nut lovers). Skip the "dumplings" (sweet filling = divisive). ā¤ļø Moroccan Coffee & Spices: 220 MAD/kg coffee beans (we haggled to 50 MAD/250g + free grinding!). Bonus: Cinnamon & dried orange peel. ā¤ļø Chouara Tannery: Stunning but stinkyāyouāve been warned! ā¤ļø Street Snacks: Fried eggplant/pepper sandwiches (5 MAD) = Chinese kebab vibes. Arabic "double-layer milk" (7 MAD) = like shuangpi nai (åē®å„¶). Snail soup (2 MAD, spice-heavyātry it for the story!). ā¤ļø Juice Stands: Orange/pomegranate/sugarcane blends (all 10 MAD). ā Why Fes > Marrakech? āļø No motorcycles = quieter, cleaner air. āļø Friendlier locals (though still watch for scams). āļø More authentic, less touristy prices. #MoroccoEats #FesFoodTour #MedinaMunchies #TravelOnABudget
