Kaï Taï €€

Offline map Google map ( 0535 65 17 00; 12 Rue Ahmed Chaouki; sushi Dh50-105, maki rolls
Dh20-25; lunch & dinner; ) Come to Fez and eat sushi? Why not? With suitably minimalist
surroundings, Kaï Taï carries off the challenge with aplomb. Choose individual sushi or tempura
(battered seafood or vegetable) dishes from a wide selection or grab a mix through the set
menus. An extensive Thai menu also adds a chilli-zing to palates jaded by one tajine too many.

Chez Vittorio €€

Offline map Google map ( 0535 62 47 30; 21 Rue Brahim Roudani; mains from Dh80, pizza or
pasta from Dh56) This dependable favourite covers the rustic Italian restaurant angle well, right
down to the candles and checked cloths. The food is good value, and while the initial service
can be a bit creaky your meal tends to arrive in a trice. Go for the pizzas or steak, as the pasta
often disappoints. You can also enjoy a glass of wine with your meal.

Restaurant Zagora €€

Offline map Google  map (    0535   94  06  86; 5   Blvd    Mohammed    V;  mains   Dh80-100)   Just    off the

southern end of Blvd Mohammed V, this perennial restaurant is popular with tour groups and
locals alike. Both the wine list and menu are equally broad, although the pleasant setting
(complete with oud player) means that both food and drink attract a sizeable surcharge.

Crémerie Skali €

Offline map Google map ( Blvd Mohammed V; breakfast around Dh20; 6am-10pm) With a good
corner location, this is an ideal stop for breakfast – one that’s popular with office workers and
families alike. As well as pastries and juice, it can rustle up some mean scrambled eggs.

Central Market €

Offline map Google  map (   Blvd    Mohammed    V;   8.30am-2.30pm) If  you’re  in  the ville   nouvelle    in

need of fresh fruit and vegies, spices, nuts, olives or a parcel of delicious dates, you can’t beat
the ville nouvelle’s central market. It also has a couple of good cheese stalls and there are
alcohol shops around the corner.

WHAT’S COOKING?

Want    to  learn   how cook    like    a   proper  Moroccan    chef?   We  caught  up  with    Souad   Maidja  of  Fez’    Clock   Kitchen (Click  here )  to

get the inside  track.

What    was the first   thing   you learnt  to  cook?   Fried   fish    with    a   simple  salad.  I’m from    Nador   on  the coast,  so  we  eat a   lot of

fish.   Fried   fish    and fish    tajines.

Who taught  you?    My  mother. When    I   got married,    I   moved   to  Fez and lived   with    my  husband’s   family  for six months. My

mother-in-law   taught  me  about   Fassi   cooking,    which   is  to  say,    the best    Moroccan    cooking there   is.

What    were    the first   things  she taught  you?    Harira, a   traditional soup.   It’s    such    an  important   dish,   I   was embarrassed that    I
