Such a fun family activity! The kids and adults enjoyed each part from marketing, to cooking, our guide and enjoying aeal in an absolutely beautiful location!
Thank you so much for your lovely review! 😊 We’re delighted to hear that both kids and adults enjoyed every part of the experience—from the market visit to the cooking class and, of course, sharing the meal together. It means a lot to us that you appreciated your guide and the beautiful setting as well. Creating memorable family moments like this is exactly what we aim for! You are always welcome, and we hope to see you again for another great experience.
The guide was super nice, Zaccharia, but the course is too basic. We cooked only a few minutes of which to learn how to cut carrots and potatoes. Dinner was super good and the place is beautiful in a great palace with superb rooftop The cook did not speak French which limited exchanges and potential learning We were disappointed overall especially considering the price that wasn't worth it. We went to the market to choose carrots and potatoes... the idea was good but it was rather first level and we did not learn there.
Merci beaucoup d’avoir pris le temps de partager votre expérience 😊 Nous sommes ravis de savoir que vous avez apprécié la gentillesse de votre guide Zakaria, ainsi que le dîner et le cadre magnifique du palais et du rooftop. Nous sommes toutefois sincèrement désolés que le cours de cuisine n’ait pas été à la hauteur de vos attentes. Votre retour est très important pour nous, notamment concernant le niveau du cours et la communication, et nous le transmettrons à notre équipe afin d’améliorer l’expérience et mieux répondre aux attentes de nos futurs clients. Merci encore pour votre retour honnête. Nous espérons avoir une nouvelle occasion de vous offrir une expérience plus complète et satisfaisante à l’avenir
Perfectly fine! Nice experience and the cook is very friendly. We used fresh produce and learned to make Moroccan tea in addition to the tagine.
Hartelijk dank voor uw mooie review! 😊 We zijn erg blij om te horen dat u een leuke ervaring heeft gehad en dat u de vriendelijkheid van onze kok heeft gewaardeerd. Het is fijn dat u genoten heeft van het werken met verse producten en dat u naast de tajine ook de Marokkaanse thee heeft leren maken. U bent altijd van harte welkom en we hopen u in de toekomst opnieuw te mogen ontvangen voor een nieuwe mooie ervaring! 🌟
Cancelled without reason or justification, really not pleasant. On the other hand always available but more expensive obviously.
Merci pour votre retour. Nous sommes désolés que l’annulation ait été mal perçue. Toutefois, la décision a été prise pour des raisons strictes de sécurité et d’organisation, en raison d’un fuite de gaz dans la cuisine, car nous tenons avant tout à garantir la sécurité et le bon déroulement de l’expérience pour tous nos clients. L’annulation a été effectuée dans le respect des conditions et nous comprenons que cela puisse être décevant, mais la sécurité dans la cuisine reste notre priorité absolue. Nous espérons que vous pourrez comprendre notre position et nous aurons plaisir à vous accueillir dans de meilleures conditions à l’avenir
This was our favorite cooking lesson ever! We had a private lesson for my husband and myself. Chef Eles was so patient with us! Chef Eles has cooked in 11 different countries and is going to be featured on a French cooking show in July. This is a “Must Do” in Fes! We had an amazing experience, thank you Chef Eles!
Thank you so much for your wonderful feedback! 😊 We are truly delighted to hear that this was your favorite cooking lesson ever and that you enjoyed your private experience. Chef Eles will be very happy to know that you appreciated his patience and expertise—he will be especially proud of your kind words. It means a lot to us that you had such an amazing time in Fes. You are always welcome, and we hope to see you again for another memorable experience!
Had an incredible cooking experience with Chef Fatima and her son at Palais Bab Sahra. They let us choose our dishes from their menu, then guided us through the local markets to select fresh ingredients. We made tajine and couscous under their expert guidance – both turned out delicious! What sets this class apart is the warm, family atmosphere. Chef Fatima and her son treated us like relatives, sharing cooking secrets and stories while ensuring we mastered each technique. They served additional Moroccan appetizers that complemented our meal perfectly. More than just a cooking class, this was a genuine cultural exchange. From market navigation to final plating, every moment felt personal and special. The knowledge we gained will let us recreate these authentic Moroccan dishes at home. If you're in Fez, don't miss this opportunity to cook with this talented family. It's an experience that will enhance your appreciation of Moroccan cuisine and culture. -Eric & Elise

The highlights: The beautiful kitchen to cook located inside a beautifully designed Palais with market to table ingredients! The experience to cook authentic Moroccan flavors in their traditional tagine cookware. Gracious hosts!
Thank you for sharing your wonderful experience! Cooking in a stunning kitchen within a beautifully designed Palais sounds truly special. Using fresh, market-to-table ingredients to create authentic Moroccan dishes in traditional tagine cookware must have been unforgettable. The gracious hosts clearly added a warm and welcoming touch. We hope to see you again for another delightful culinary adventure!
We met at the restaurant where we were given a basket and then we headed into the market to pick up fresh ingredients for our meal. We then came back to the kitchen where we learned how to make mint tea. We enjoyed the mint tea and some cookies. Then we learned how to make a Moroccan salad and tajine with our choice of meat. The tajine takes an hour to cook, so we were taken to the rooftop overlooking the city to enjoy some appetizers while we waited. All of the food was the best flavors we tasted in all of Morocco. We highly enjoyed the pumpkin dip, artichoke dip, and chili dip. The tajine also was packed with flavor and spices. Our only complaint is that we got too full and couldn't eat any more. Highly recommend this cooking class!
Thank you for sharing your wonderful experience! We’re thrilled to hear that you enjoyed every step of the cooking class, from selecting fresh ingredients at the market to learning the art of making mint tea, Moroccan salad, and tajine. It’s always a pleasure to see our guests fully immerse themselves in the flavors and traditions of Moroccan cuisine. We’re so glad you loved the appetizers and the dips, as well as the rich, flavorful tajine – it’s a true testament to the vibrant spices and culinary heritage of Morocco. Your only “complaint” about being too full made us smile – we take it as a compliment to the delicious food! We hope to welcome you back again soon for another unforgettable experience. There’s always more to discover and savor, and we’d be delighted to share more of our recipes and hospitality with you. Until next time!
Mohammed and Fatima were fantastic hosts! They were extremely knowledgeable and fun. Recipes were provided at the end.

We’re also glad you appreciated receiving the recipes at the end of your experience. It was a pleasure having you with us, and we hope to welcome you again very soon for another great experience!
This class was such a joy and highlight of our trip. Mohammed and Fatima kept things light, fun, and interactive the whole way through and made sure that everyone in the group felt included. The walk through the souk to purchase ingredients was nice and didn't take too long - we focused on prepping ingredients and cooking most the time. The food was DELICIOUS, we learned a lot, and we got to admire the beautiful restaurant from all floors - even the 360 rooftop. It took us a while to select a cooking class (there are so many) but I'm so glad we chose this one. The location and everything else about it was just perfection.

We’re also delighted that the food met your expectations and that you had the chance to explore every corner of the restaurant, including the breathtaking 360° rooftop. Choosing the right cooking class can be challenging, so we’re truly grateful that you picked ours. Your satisfaction with the location and overall experience means the world to us. We look forward to welcoming you again on your next visit!
