EL FORNO is widely praised for its exceptional Moroccan hospitality, with many guests highlighting the warm and welcoming nature of the staff, specifically mentioning Yaya and Eyoub. The food is frequently described as the best encountered during trips to Morocco, particularly the meat tagine with almonds and prunes and the chicken couscous. While most dishes receive high marks for flavor and portion size, one reviewer noted an issue with undercooked falafel. The restaurant is a popular choice for repeat visits, with some travelers dining there multiple times during their stay in Fes. Its location near the medina gate and reasonable pricing add to its appeal. Overall, it offers a consistent and high-quality traditional dining experience.
