Fez – La Villa sits at 117 Boulevard Mohammed Bahnini near the heart of the new town, making it an easy meeting point for residents and visitors who want café comforts without leaving the city center. The house presents itself as a bakery–patisserie–restaurant with indoor seating and a covered terrace, and lists a direct reservations line for day-to-day questions.
The venue’s identity is anchored in its bake room; counters rotate through viennoiseries and gateaux like croissants, pains au chocolat, cheesecakes, fruit tarts, and Moroccan classics, alongside loaves and specialty breads. The team also advertises custom cakes for family events, from themed birthdays to wedding towers, which regulars often pre-order for pickup.
Beyond the pastry case, La Villa runs an all-day cafe menu. Third-party listings and the house site point to a mix of breakfasts, brunch plates, salads, and simple hot dishes, with service set up for quick daytime meals or longer coffee meetings. The format is deliberately flexible: drop in for a pastry and espresso, book a table for a light lunch, or stage an afternoon tea on the terrace.
Part of the appeal is consistency and access. La Villa keeps early opening hours and runs straight through the day, which suits office workers and travelers on tight itineraries. Delivery partners in Fez also list the restaurant for home and office orders, extending the bakery and café menus beyond the storefront.
If you are planning a small celebration, the venue promotes a catering arm that prepares trays of sweet and savory bites, such as macarons, chou pastries, mini-sandwiches and canapes, plus specialty breads. It’s a practical option for business coffee breaks or weekend gatherings that need café-quality items without the sit-down service.
Details to know before you go: the address is 117, Boulevard Bahnini, Hay Riad; the main phone line is +212 5 35 60 44 66. The official site lists opening hours for the bakery and for the restaurant/lounge, and posts seasonal menus and updates. Social feeds on Instagram and Facebook share daily specials, holiday boxes, and occasional set menus around Ramadan and festive periods.
For travelers splitting time between Fez el-Bali and the Ville Nouvelle, La Villa fills a specific niche: a reliable, centrally located spot for breakfast pastries, mid-day salads, and celebratory cakes, with a terrace that feels local rather than touristy. It’s not a medina showpiece, and that’s the point — the draw here is steady service, an expansive pastry counter, and the comfort of a café you can use every day.
If you’re mapping a day around the medina, La Villa works as an early breakfast before a souk walk or as a late-afternoon pause back in the new town — proof that Fez’s cafe culture runs just as deep as its historic lanes.
