In the fertile lands of Fez, seasonal and exceptional products are at the heart of authentic and refined Moroccan cuisine. Each dish is designed to enhance these ingredients, with particular attention to taste, aromas and colors.
The menu offers the great classics of Moroccan gastronomy, faithful to tradition while integrating a touch of creativity. Among them, soups like Harira or royal Bissara infused with cumin open the meal with generosity.
Then come emblematic dishes such as couscous with 7 vegetables accompanied by T'faya, or even tagines with powerful flavors: free-range chicken, veal shank or beef with prunes.
Two flagship dishes are also offered: the Rfissa with farm cockerel, prepared in the pure tradition of Fez with its flaky msemmen, and the Dafina, an emblematic dish of Moroccan Jewish cuisine, slowly simmered with beef, chickpeas, wheat and sweet spices.
An invitation to a culinary journey rich in emotions and discoveries.
Anchored in its territory, the cuisine of L'Amandier focuses on short circuits and also renowned gastronomic partners, from the magnificent Noor oil, ranked among the best in the world, to farm products such as ducks from the Domaine d'Aghbalou near Fez, or its delicate cheeses from the Domaine de la Pommeraie.
Each season, these choice ingredients first of all feed the creative appetite of our Chef Mohammed Achoual: green lentil cream and pan-fried foie gras escalope; the fine, creamy and goat's cheese tart and eggplant elixir; grilled octopus on a bed of celeriac and virgin sauce emulsion; or the Parmentier of confit lamb, enhanced with a scent of Auvergne blue cheese.
Nestled on the ramparts of the medina, the restaurant L'Amandier has three areas to welcome you:
"L'AMANDIER" AREA: The greatest comfort combined with an exceptional view of the heights of Fez, leather armchairs and cushions, play of materials in the tradition of the great Moroccan craftsmen and play of lights with its elegant lamps guiding the eye towards the large windows which open up the space.
Find yourself facing the medina, in its bright and very contemporary architecture, for an immersion in clarity and refined pleasures, a space for sharing around our round tables or on comfortable benches.
The rooftop garden offers an unforgettable dining experience where modern design meets traditional Moroccan hospitality. Large panoramic windows frame the stunning views of the ancient city, while elegant geometric lamps create an intimate atmosphere as evening falls.
Whether you're celebrating a special occasion or simply enjoying a memorable dinner, our rooftop garden provides the perfect backdrop for culinary excellence with breathtaking views of the UNESCO World Heritage medina.
Breath and wonder for a unique view of the medina, at the heart of the gastronomic and spectacular journey that you are hoping for, with, at nightfall, an atmosphere that will envelop you in the heart of an authentic Moroccan art of living.
