Fez Medina's smart new snack bar



Last October, The View from Fez reported that a new fountain was being built near the post office in Batha. It now graces the outdoor courtyard of the new Snack Omar on Rue de la Poste.

The snack bar serves the usual street food at very good prices: chicken with chips and vegetables is Dh18, sandwiches - which are small baguettes stuffed with your choice of fillings and cooked while you wait - are between Dh12 and Dh15, or you can have an omelette for a mere Dh6. Snack Omar is open from 10am to 11pm.

What makes this little restaurant so different is the care that's gone into the surroundings - the courtyard has pretty zellij, the wall fountain and lots of lush plants, all set in the shade of wooden trellis work overhead. Anyone for lunch?

We've made a trip to Fez and ate at Snack Omar 3 out of 4 days. We enjoyed the food and the service very much! It's a cosy place near the Batha Hotel with enthusiastic employees serving you very tasty food. When we'll return to Fes, we'd love to come back.
