The Cafe Clock Cooking Class is a Moroccan cooking class run by Cafe Clock, a cafe and cultural venue in Fès el-Bali, the old medina of Fes in Morocco's Fès-Meknès region. The listing does not state how long the cafe has been running or the class has been offered. The kitchen is at Cafe Clock, 7 Derb el-Magana, off 252 Rue Talaa Kebira. Visitors meet on Talaa Kebira, the medina's main uphill thoroughfare, just past the meat market, and turn left into Derb el-Magana under the old water clock. The class lasts about 3 to 4 hours and uses a choose-your-own menu of traditional Moroccan dishes, so participants pick what they want to cook instead of following a fixed menu. Savoury dishes such as tagines and salads are typical of Moroccan menus, and the listing does not specify the number of dishes or the balance of savoury and sweet. The class can include a souk market tour as an option on the listed class, where the group shops for ingredients in the medina before cooking. The meal of the dishes cooked is included, and so is free cancellation up to 48 hours before the class. The price is set by the cafe and is not published in the listing; the cafe can be contacted through fez.cafeclock.com or on +212 535 637 855. Transport is not included, since participants walk to the cafe. Group size, instructor language and pace are not described in the listing and should be confirmed when booking. Because the menu is chosen by participants, the class is more flexible than fixed-menu classes, and visitors with dietary needs such as vegetarian preferences or allergies should mention them to the cafe when booking so the menu choices can be arranged. The class runs year-round.

When to visit

Accessibility
Talaa Kebira is a steep, uneven cobbled lane and the cafe sits down a side alley, so the class is not well suited to wheelchair users; visitors with mobility needs should contact the cafe beforehand.
