The richness of Fez gastronomy lies in a unique heritage of Berber, Arab and Jewish cuisines, as well as Andalusian and African, which has given rise to some of Morocco’s most emblematic dishes. Faithful to this melting pot of flavors, the restaurant L’Amandier’s seasonal menu is also enriched by the region’s local produce.
Usual flavours of Moroccan cuisine
Each of these cuisines brings its own culture to the table, creating culinary encounters that subtly combine sweet and savory. This is achieved by using all kinds of spices and condiments, such as cumin, coriander, pepper and sweet chilli, as well as cinnamon, honey and orange blossom, not forgetting the different flavours of olive oil, depending on the recipe.
