Fez — Set on Avenue Echouhada in Hivernage, Kôya is equal parts restaurant, bar, and lounge. The concept emulates modern and festive: low lighting, a sleek room, and a soundtrack that transforms from dinner service to late-evening sets.
On most nights a DJ sets the vibe. Weekends bring live instruments for a club-like atmosphere without leaving the table. Whether you are booking with friends or planning a celebration, Kôya meets any mood.
The kitchen is firmly “fusion.” Menus pull from multiple Asian traditions—think sushi and crudo inspired by Japan and Peru, wok dishes with Thai heat, and Chinese-leaning sharing plates—then plate them in a contemporary style.
It is the kind of lineup designed for the middle of the table: a few cold bites, a roll or two, then hot dishes to follow. The brand’s own materials even nod to Japan’s Mount Kōya as a touchstone, signaling an interest in mixing tradition with modern technique.
Service matches the format. Staff encourage sharing, help pace the order, and will steer you toward house favorites.
Portions land in the social-dining sweet spot—enough to split across two or three dishes per person without feeling heavy before dessert. Dress is smart-casual; plenty of tables turn a birthday or a friends’ night into something a little more dressed-up by the time the energy lifts.
Kôya also anchors a growing mini-universe. The team behind the Hivernage original has expanded into Safran by Kôya, a separate address that shifts the focus to Moroccan-Mediterranean cooking with nightly shows, dancers, and a late finish. If your group runs mixed tastes—some craving tagines and seafood, others leaning towards pan-Asian—booking across the two sister venues can match both moods on the same trip.
Here’s a few practical notes to help the night go smoothly. Kôya is busiest on Thursday to Saturday. Reserve ahead for prime hours, especially if you prefer a relaxed moment before the beats rise. Taxis know Avenue Echouhada well, and rideshare pickup on the main street is accessible.
For large groups, ask about set menus to keep timing tight and the bill predictable. Hivernage pricing applies, so expect lounge-level checks rather than casual-café totals.
If you want the same energy with a Medina backdrop, Safran by Kôya runs from early evening into the night with a programmed show and a rooftop setting. Families are welcome earlier, and the room turns livelier as the night goes on. The brand’s social pages post opening hours and contact numbers, and reservations by phone or DM are standard.
