10 Of Fez's Top Teahouses

Fez is the imperial capital of Morocco. It is rich in history and influences from Europe, the Middle East, and the Jewish, and it is truly one of the most important cities when it comes to Moroccan tradition and authenticity. Here, you will discover Morocco at its finest, and most importantly, how it was and how it will remain preserved, which is why you’ll be able to find the most mesmerizing teahouses in this small city.

The Ruined Garden

The Ruined Garden is an amazing restaurant and teahouse in the medina of Fez. It is a picturesque spot where you can enjoy a cup of tea surrounded by a beautiful garden, fountains, and the sounds of birds. It is very popular among tourists since it was created by two foreigners who opened this café/restaurant with a Europe meets Africa kind of mindset and who perfectly matched the European with traditional Moroccan style.
