What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Bistro Laaroussa is lauded for its stunning rooftop views and exceptional service, creating a truly memorable dining experience. While many dishes are praised, particularly the couscous and fusion options, some find certain flavors to be less impactful. The ambiance is consistently described as cozy and romantic, making it a highly recommended spot in Fez, despite being slightly pricier than other local establishments.
"A beautiful rooftop restaurant with stunning views. Impecable plate service with friendly, knowlegeable staff. The dishes were flavoursome, beatifully executed and plentyful. A must when in Fes.
And I must add the hotel manager was extremely helpful in all matters."
Cordelia Stuart-Macdonald
"Great view, staff’s friendly, beautiful. Although the lamb tagine we had was good, it lacks a bit of flavour"
Karen Robles
"Our dinner tonight at Bistro Laarousa on the rooftop of the Laarousa Riad. The lush lobby on the ground floor is a nice welcome, leading you to a set of long, steep stairs climbing up four long floors to the roof top terrace. Nice views of the Medina but a thunderstorm moved us inside and provided a raucous light show during dinner. Caesar salad, lamb chops and a chicken sandwich were our selections"

On Riad Laaroussa’s lovely roof terrace, you can indulge in your choice of two distinct dining experiences while enjoying stellar views over the medina. Opt for the bistro menu (lunch and dinner) and feast on Mediterranean-influenced dishes, perhaps seafood risotto and crème brûlée.
