Darori Resto

Darori Resto is a traditional restaurant at N°2 Derb Sayour, Place R'habet Zbib, in the R'cif area of Fès el-Bali, Morocco. It is known for offering banquet-style Fassi diffa menus at prices well below the city's palace restaurants, about 120-220 MAD per person. The kitchen concentrates on classic Fès cooking, with pigeon pastilla, a beef and prune tagine and a mille-feuille with crème anglaise among the dishes visitors mention most often. The pastilla, with its sweet and savoury layering, is the emblematic order for anyone sampling Fassi cuisine for the first time. The set-menu format means courses arrive in a sequence, usually starting with Moroccan salads and ending with a tagine and dessert, so the meal is generous and unhurried. The dining rooms are decorated in a traditional style, with a warm, informal atmosphere and moderate noise from groups; dress is casual. Lunch and dinner are served daily. Reservations are recommended for dinner, and a booking made the same day is often sufficient outside peak season, though larger groups should reserve earlier. R'cif sits close to the centre of the old city, near Place R'cif and the Boujloud end of the medina, so the restaurant is convenient for first-time visitors. Alcohol is not a feature of the beverage programme, which centres on mint tea and soft drinks. The place suits travellers who want an authentic multi-course Fassi meal without the price of a riad or palace setting.
