Amazing cooking class - My husband and I took the cooking class and souk experience with Loubna and the Chef! It was an awesome experience. They took us around the souks to pick up the ingredients for the dinner we were going to prepare. While at the souks, they showed us a few of their favorite vendors and let us try tasty bites at each of them. We also learned a lot about souk culture and how Moroccans shop. We went back to the hotel to cook on the rooftop in a beautiful outdoor kitchen. We made a delicious meal and then enjoyed it in the hotel restaurant. Both Loubna and the Chef were super kind and wonderful hosts. I would recommend this to anyone visiting Fes.

Perfect for families - We had a great time. The staff is excellent with kids of all ages, and were adept at guiding our multi-lingual group (English and French) through the baking. Highly recommend!

Great Cooking Class and Dinner - Excellent cooking experience and dinner. This was hands on with a three course meal - cooked vegetable, chicken tagine and dessert. Cooking was done on the rooftop terrace and waiters carried dinner down to the garden to enjoy with the group. Wine available for purchase during cooking or dinner - food was excellent, recipes provided and gifts sent home including a complimentary Fez hat, spices and a small basket - highly recommend, good value.

Wonderful cooking school - This was more than just a cooking class. It was a food and culture tour. After being greeted with the traditional mint tea, we went with the chefs to the Medina to shop for dinner ingredients at the souks. Along the way, they explained life in the Medina, pointed out different types of food, and generally enriched the experience. We even had herb tea at an extraordinary tea house. Then we returned to the beautiful rooftop setting to cook tajine and eggplant salad and dessert. The cooking process was fun and educational. And then we got to eat - yum, yum!! The hostess was amazing - funny, welcoming, and full of information. It was a great experience from start to finish!

Perfect experience for food lovers - Definitely a 5Star experience. It was more than interesting visiting the market together for getting al the ingredients for our dinner. Cooking on the rooftop with the chef was brilliant. Afterwards the self cooked dinner was served in the lovely garden of Palais Amani.

The cooking school at Palau Amani was just the best! Maybe the most unique experience of our trip - We had such a fantastic experience with Loubna and Chef guiding us through the souk to gather food for dinner and we LOVED all the stops at vendors for their favorite street food snack! It was an incredible experience. We loved hearing about how they grew up in the medina bc where they used to go as children. the cooking experience was also fantastic and our meal was delicious! They guided us through everything making the day truly a unique and authentic experience

Great cooking class - fun instructors! - Great experience. It was just my partner and I and they ran a private class for us! The market was closing based on the day we went but our instructor and the staff were very kind, funny, and welcoming!

A lot of potential but didn't work for us. - We were booked in here as part of our Morocco tour. I see this is advertised on TripAdvisor for up to 10 people. I think that's where our session started to go wrong, there were 20+ people and there just wasn't enough support to help it along. The chef spent her time shouting out instructions over the general chaos. She was assisted by only one other person who darted through the group turning on gas rings and trying to assist in the understanding. It was clear that they were totally overwhelmed with the task at hand. This meant that progress and results were varied. Some people's food was dried out in the pan whilst others had not sufficiently been reduced. I could go on.... We went to the market to buy vegetables and we all returned with our own personally selected items. But .. once we returned all the bags were collected for the veg to be washed and then we were given a random selection to cook with. All personal choice was lost. I see that there are several 5* reviews on TripAdvisor and I can accept that. It just didn't happen during our session. The large group was clearly never going to work smoothly - a shame.
