Mezzanine

Fez


Popular with the young Fassi crowd, this multistorey lounge is a nice counterpoint to medina life, just a short walk from Bab Bou Jeloud. The covered roof terrace overlooking Jnan Sbil is a good place to chill with a beer or cocktail (from Dh60), and there are tapas and larger plates like pastas and burgers (Dh70 to Dh110) if you're peckish.
