Getting there
Up Talaa Kebira, the main thoroughfare through Fes el-Bali — on foot from Bab Boujloud

Why it’s in the log

Le Jardin des Biehn is the café attached to Riad Jardin des Biehn, tucked off Talaa Kebira in the Fes medina behind a door that gives no hint of what's on the other side — a courtyard garden with old orange trees, shaded seating, and a short menu of homemade Moroccan lunch dishes.

It functions as a lunch stop for people not staying at the riad as much as for guests, which is unusual for a hotel garden — worth knowing if the plan is a sit-down break partway through a day of walking the medina rather than an overnight.

The medina has no car access, so getting there means walking in from Bab Boujloud, following Talaa Kebira and watching for the entrance rather than relying on a map pin.

Easy to walk straight past the door — the garden inside is the whole reason to stop.
