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

Best day in Morocco! - We did the souk visit and cooking class with Abdul and Chef Oussama and it was probably my favourite day in Morocco! They were so warm and friendly, took us to the best tea shop and it honestly just felt like friends hanging out. The hotel itself is absolutely stunning, the lunch is delicious and you get a collection of spices, recipes and a certificate at the end. The only thing I’d change was my decision to eat breakfast that morning - you get so many tasters on the souk visit I would recommend going as hungry as possible! This is an absolute must for all foodies.

Best way to spend your day! - We had such a fun day with Abdul and Chef Oussama! The walk through the food market was phenomenal (go on an empty stomach); and the actual cooking class was so fun. We also made a stop at a tea shop that became a highlight of our entire trip! Thank you Abdul and Chef Oussama :)

Cooking fun at Palais Amani - My family and I came down for a cooking class after exploring the local medina that Palais Amani is located in. This was a wonderful experience and a must have item on your checklist to do before leaving Morocco!! We were welcomed in a beautiful almost resort-like backyard with fountains and trees and friendly staff offering us the sweet Moroccan mint tea that I often look forward to. We got the chance to experience the medina itself with the lead chefs where we got to buy our own fruits and vegetables as well as get a professional experience of the different sections of the medina (spices, sweets, bronze, etc). I will offer a piece of advice, stick closely with your chefs/guides as it is very chaotic and can get easily lost in the medina :) Chef Lubna and her lead chefs were so kind and funny, making the experience of cooking a foreign cuisine extremely enjoyable from cutting onion to seeing steam blossom from the mix of vegetables. Everyone’s demeanor was warm and welcoming and allowed for you to feel comfortable in trying a new skill of cooking appetizer, the main dish and a beautiful dessert. We each made our own dishes and it was a beautiful array of Moroccan cuisine: zabaat (eggplant) for the appetizer, vegetable pastille and the dessert was —. I would recommend this experience to anyone, with cooking experience or not! It’s a beautiful and wonderful time and you have to spend your time here before leaving Fez.

Wonderful experience cooking in Palais Amani - We had the most fantastic experience at the cooking class in Palais Amani. Upon arrival we were given some tea and cookies while relaxing in the beautiful gardens. From there we walked around the Souk getting our ingredients for dinner while trying some tasty local food and drinking some tea. We arrived back to the Palais and began to cook under the instruction of the chef. Once cooking was complete we ate our dinner in the beautiful gardens. Our guides, chef and all the staff at Palais Amani were so friendly which made our experience unforgettable. I would recommend this class to anyone visiting the beautiful city of Fes!!

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.
