I woke up this morning with a dynamic sense of spirit and energy. But whatever it is, I only know for sure that it has something to do with being caught up in the medieval charm of Fez. So, before I head out of my hotel to start a new adventure, I decided to have a Moroccan cuisine for a hearty breakfast, hoping that this will keep the spirit flowing.

With a serene view by my window, I ordered for a plate of bread and Moroccan crepes. Also known as khubz, the Moroccan bread has a drizzle of olive oil that lent an appetizing flavor. On top of that, I also enjoyed luscious crepes as an early morning dessert served with a sweet-smelling tea. Needless to say, I woke up to a beautiful and delicious day with generous serving of Moroccan cuisine similar to a good ol’ feast.

Standing in the middle of busy streets, it’s one of the few moments that I felt like I don’t need a map. I wanted to discover things on my own, so I wander around Fez not having any tinge of doubt. It was a fun day, but I must admit that sightseeing and bargaining for a sale could be exhausting. To give myself a perfect treat, I walked into a posh restaurant that is adorned like a royal palace. The Restaurant of the Palais des Mérinides, they say, had one of the best Moroccan cuisines to offer. I was actually impressed by its generous bowl of Tajine. The warm and soothing aroma of the vegetable and meat stew was all I needed to satisfy my craving.

I was mindless of the time, and before I knew it, the sun was slowly fading into an orange sky. That’s when I caught a sight of a nearby restaurant called Thami. It is not a five-star diner, but with its excellent array of Moroccan cuisine and a price that is too hard to beat, eating on the streets of Fez is one of the finest culinary adventures I had in the city.
