RESTAURANT NUMERO 7

restaurant numéro 7 is a professional restaurant space and dining room in the heart of the fès medina: the cradle of moroccan gastronomy. chefs-on-sabbatical are invited to use the space as a stage for their work with the aim of creating a gallery of food experiences.
residencies are for a period of between one and four months during which time chefs get to interact with local farmers and producers, and interpret moroccan cuisine through their own culinary philosophy .
the medina is filled with local markets offering a cornucopia of seasonal flavours. from tiny, thin-skinned dduk lemons to sumptuous white mulberries, wild thistle hearts and salted, pickled plums, bunches of sage, mint and coriander, live Beldi chickens and camel meat, it is a feast for senses on every level.
the goal of chefs in residence at restaurant numéro 7 is to encourage a cross-culinary exchange between international chefs and local producers and cooks, ultimately resulting in new food experiences based on local, seasonal and sustainable principles.
