La Fontaine des Épices review: our verdict
Here, it's the servers' first names that stick in your memory as you leave. The team at La Fontaine des Épices recommends dishes, caters equally well to families with young children and groups of friends, and gives a simple medina lunch the feel of a meal at a close friend's home. On the plate, reliable Moroccan classics: beef tajine, chicken with vegetables, harissa-spiced kefta, chicken pastilla, and an assortment of briouates.
You dine on the tastefully decorated, open-air terrace from 10 am to 11:30 pm, making it an easy stop in the middle of a day of sightseeing. Families, groups of friends, holiday couples: everyone finds something to their liking, and some even return within the same week for a drink. Those seeking a revisited Moroccan cuisine or a fine-dining experience will be better served elsewhere.
Dish to order: a tajine, beef or kefta, with a touch of harissa. Best time to go: at lunch, when wait times are short and dishes come out quickly. Insider tip: let the team compose your order; they know their menu.
