Veggie Pause.

Tucked into the winding labyrinth of Fès el-Bali, Veggie Pause offers a refreshing, plant-based alternative to the medina’s meat-heavy culinary landscape. Opened in 2019, this casual spot specializes in fresh, made-to-order vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free dishes inflected with Moroccan flavors. The kitchen relies heavily on market-fresh, seasonal ingredients, meaning the menu shifts based on what is available. Expect inventive items like a hummus duo, red gazpacho, and vegetarian burgers served on gluten-free cornbread, alongside velvety daily soups and house-baked cakes. With its relaxed vibe, outdoor seating, and pet-friendly policy, it serves as an easy, welcoming retreat for travelers seeking a lighter meal without leaving the historic heart of the old city.
