By far one of the best cafes in this huge city, Café Clock boasts three floors, each with a unique charm, and various little hideaways within. Situated in a beautifully decorated, 250 year-old courtyard house, guests can sit alongside the kitchen on the ground floor while chatting to the friendly staff or, for the most popular seating place, head to the roof terrace. From here, the beautiful city views can be enjoyed, in particular of the adjacent mosque, as well as the delicious food. Highlights from the vegetarian-friendly menu include tempting falafel and hummus, and goat’s cheese quiche. Not only does Café Clock cater for a diverse range of palettes, it is also a cultural meeting place, hosting numerous events, from cooking classes to storytelling.

2. Dar Attajalli

Boutique Hotel Restaurant, Moroccan, Vegan, Vegetarian

In the heart of the medina of this historic and enchanting city, the boutique hotel of Dar Attajalli is renowned for being vegetarian and even vegan friendly. Guests can take in the rooftop winter garden, complete with beautiful flora and fauna, and enjoy the outstanding view over the whole of the medina. Perfect for non-meat eaters, Dar Attajalli prides itself upon following a philosophy of healthy eating, with all dishes made from fresh, organic ingredients, and with a chef who specializes in Moroccan vegetarian dishes.

3. Riad Dar Dmana

Restaurant, Moroccan

Another fantastic riad in the heart of the medina of Fes, Riad Dar Dmana has been completely restored to delightfully showcase traditional architecture and the unique crafts of Fes. Much more than a hotel, this riad pays special attention to its restaurant that serves typical Moroccan meals on an inviting candle lit terrace. Although not a vegetarian restaurant in its entirety, the combination of extremely hospitable hosts and excellent chefs means that vegetarians are certainly catered for, with special vegetarian versions of couscous and tajine.
