A vibrant place to eat in the medina.

If you’re looking for an authentic place to eat in the medina, try La Fountaine des Espices.
I stumbled across this place by accident one evening, and I have to say I was very impressed.
The food was incredibly tasty, and the decor was elegant and refined with a colourful, boho vibe.



I visited this strategically located restaurant a few times afterwards because I thoroughly enjoyed the food.
They also have a nice rooftop overlooking the medina.
It’s a great place to go for an afternoon drink and to lap up some sunshine.
Staff at the restaurant are really friendly and helpful, making the experience of dining here an absolute pleasure.
The prices were very competitive too.
The restaurant serves traditional food, and it tastes authentic, like having a meal cooked by a Moroccan family.
I highly recommend their smoothies.
I chose the detox smoothie with apple, green lemon, celery, cucumber, and turmeric.
It tasted delicious.
There is plenty of choice on the menu, and they are beautifully presented with heaps of fresh fruit, making them a healthy alternative.

I opted for the vegetable tagine, and it was cooked to perfection.
Service was quick, and the waiters were very attentive, regularly checking that I was happy.
On another occasion, I tried the pastilla, and I loved it.
It was a healthy sized portion, too.

Fountaine des Espices is a great little spot if you’re looking for a good quality meal in a nice environment with highly competitive prices.
It’s particularly nice during the evening with candles flickering on the tables, giving off a nice romantic ambience whilst your dining.
They serve breakfast, brunch, lunch, and dinner.
I often sit upstairs on the rooftop after a morning sightseeing.
It’s a welcome break from the busy souks.
The Fountaine des Espices is next to the Secret Garden, the address is,
131 Rue Mouassine.
It’s open from 10.00 am until 12.00 am,
The busiest time is 3.00 pm, if you prefer it quieter arrive before then.
