The new summer menu is up at F Lounge.
Helen Ranger tried the chicken tabouleh, pieces of golden chicken breast surrounding a tabbouleh made all the tastier with a squeeze of lemon juice, some olive oil and a sprig of mint. Alejandro tucked into fish briouates (layers of crispy pastilla pastry wrapped around a fish filling), with a rich soy sauce for dipping. This was followed by a tagine of khlii. Now Alejandro has become very fond of khlii, that Moroccan delicacy that you see all over the medina. If you ever wondered what those tubs of lard were, here is the answer. Strips of lamb are dried and then preserved in fat. The tagine is simply shredded khlii warmed in the fat and served with olives and bread.
Also on the menu are the ever popular tartines, split baguettes smothered in camembert and walnuts and drizzled with balsamic vinegar, or with anchovies and tomatoes. While the expats might crave Alejandro's Italian flair for food, visitors to Fez are keen to try tagines, so he's added some to the menu, along with cheese briouates and a fish pastilla that he says is the best he's ever had.
F Lounge will now be open from 11am, serving breakfast and brunch. And the brownies are still the best in the medina!
F Lounge: 0535 633 097, 95 Zkak Rouah, off Tala'a Kebira. 11am-10pm daily

To find a place that serves food other than what is served in most of the restaurants in Fez is good news. Provided their price is right I will try the place.
