Fez – The cafe sits at 6 Rue Mernissi, Boujloud, just behind the Blue Gate at the top of Fez el-Bali, putting it on an easy path for anyone starting a medina loop toward Bou Inania, Talaa Sghira, and the Nejjarine quarter. Taxis know the gate, and you can be seated within minutes of walking in.
Hours run from morning through late evening, which is useful if you are planning around tours or train times. Public listings show service roughly 08:00–23:00 daily, with breakfast available in the morning and a mixed menu later in the day.
The space is compact and friendly. A ground-floor room handles quick orders while a rooftop terrace picks up at lunch and sunset. One listing notes seating for about 60 guests across the two levels, so small groups can usually find space without a reservation outside peak hours.
Food leans local and simple. Expect harira, salads, brochettes, kefta, chicken or vegetable tagines, and couscous on the right days, alongside quick plates for travelers who want a faster stop. Fresh juices, mint tea, and ginger lemonade are common picks in reviews, and there is a short dessert rotation to pair with coffee.
Service is geared to the location. Staff move between takeaway and table service, which keeps things moving when tour groups pass the gate. English and French are widely used, and receipts can be split for friends meeting before or after a museum visit.
Practical details help if you are new to Fez. The Blue Gate is the most reliable rendezvous point, and Medina Cafe is a two-minute walk from its arches. If you want to time a visit for photos, late afternoon brings soft light over the rooftops and a quieter terrace before dinner hour.
For contact, directories list +212 663-853110 as the on-site number. If you are coordinating with a guide, share the Rue Mernissi address and meet at Bab Bou Jeloud to keep the route simple.
