Outstanding !!! - That was an outstanding experience, which is hard to beat in terms of quality, mood and overall richness of experience. It was a hospitality experience at it’s best. To start with - the team (host and chef) were amazing - they feel their clients and are able to adjust to the needs, moods, interest. While shopping in the market for food for cooking, they encouraged to try different foods on the go (e.g. fava beans soup, snacks, desserts in traders stands always emphasizing what is safe from their experience), also shared the stories behind eating culture, Fez etc. They managed to create the mood, that it seemed that we all enjoyed time together. The place itself - Amani palace - is a gem, it is very beautifull, quiet, with lush garden inside. Once inside, we were served Moroccan tea by a very pleasent tea man, who kept us company and was very welcoming, also the service at the table after we get to enjoy what we cooked was perfect. The cooking class is very enjoyable itself, the host did such a great job helping our 12y old son, that we all left inspired and had great time together. Very much recommended even by such picky clients as we are.

A Taste of Magic with a Stunning View - A truly fascinating cooking class! We started with tea served in the enchanting setting of the palace. Then, the two chefs came to meet us and took us to the market. After that, we headed to the kitchen — each of us had our own cooking station. And that’s when the magic happened: all those colors, the stunning view over Fez from our classroom, and above all, the kindness of the two chefs. We thoroughly enjoyed those four hours spent with them. What a pleasure! And the dishes we tasted at the end were absolutely delicious. A big thank you to you!

Perfect Date Activity in Fes - My partner and I did the cooking class at Palais Amani and it was one of our favorite things we did in Fes. We started with a quick market trip, then cooked on the rooftop with a great chef who made it really easy and fun. The food came out so good and the whole experience felt really special and laid-back. Perfect date activity.

Great place. Lovely people. - I did this class with my sister. It was fantastic. Miriam and chef were great. Engaged, interesting, knowledgeable and fun. The trip to the market was like a food tour as well as a shopping tour. The Riad we cooked in was stunning. Five stars do it.

Best international cooking class ever! - My family and I are foodies and well traveled. This is the best cooking class we've attended, bar none! Chef Loobna was welcoming, witty and an excellent teacher. The three course meal consisting of tomato and eggplant baba ganoush, lemon chicken with caramelized onions in a tagine, and an elegant stacked dessert was the best meal I've ever cooked. Then, we were served our own creations in their fine dining restaurant, provided with detailed recipes, and Chef Loobna made dining recommendations for the rest of our stay in Fez. I understand you can also take the optional to our market shopping tour that accompanies the cooking class if you have the time.

Sephardic Cooking Class - A lovely day, spent with lovely people. Learned some new techniques and flavor profiles, while also a bit of Fes history. Great facilities, and Loubna is a charming host.

Amazing culinary experience - This cooking class was my favorite activity in Fes! We tried some foods at the market before grabbing our ingredients and heading back to cook. The chefs were so kind & helpful every step of the way. It was a perfect way to spend our Valentine’s Day!

Joy of Cooking the Moroccan Way - What a spectacular time we had at the Fez Cooking School at the Palais Amani. The souk visit was such a joy and we met such wonderful merchants that we will remember long after we are home. Chef Jose and Loubna were fantastic and made our experience absolutely fantastic. The dishes we prepared were so delicious we cannot wait to give them a try at home. Palais Amani is such a warm and welcoming place and we were even fortunate to meet the owners. I highly recommend this Cooking School during your visit to Fez. chefs Lisa and Chris

Unique experience! - Overall we had a great experience at the Fez Cooking School on our trip to Fez. The staff that ran this experience were very friendly and took good care of us over the duration of the visit. We did the Souq visit experience plus cooking school. The Souq visit was a great cultural experience where we had a unique opportunity to learn about Moroccan culture and cuisine. The reason this review is a 4 star vs. 5 for us is simply because some of the foods we tasted and settings in which we did so were a bit out of our comfort zone (very different than North American dining experiences) but for more adventurous travelers I can see this being a highlight. The cooking class portion of this tour was great. The chef taught us to make 3 dishes and we enjoyed them together as a group. We were sent home with recipes and souvenirs which was a nice touch. Overall we would recommend this experience.
