Nestled in the heart of the enchanting Fes Medina, Mouda Palace is known not only for its breathtaking views and refined Moroccan cuisine, but also for its extraordinary signature dessert the “Mouda Pastilla with caramelized Pear and Pistachio, flavored with Gum Arabic”.
Inspired by the beloved Jawhara, a traditional Moroccan dessert similar in structure to the famous pastilla, this creation takes the classic to a whole new level. At Mouda Palace, the Jawhara is completely transformed into a luxurious sweet delicacy that harmoniously blends tradition and creativity.
The base of this dessert is made from delicate, crispy layers of fine pastry, offering a light, flaky texture with every bite. Hidden between these golden layers is a luscious pistachio cream, rich, smooth, and full of nutty warmth. What makes this dessert truly special is the addition of caramelized pear, both inside the filling with the pistachio cream and beautifully arranged on top. The pears are gently caramelized to perfection, bringing a natural sweetness and buttery softness that melts in the mouth, complementing the creamy pistachio and crisp pastry.
Every forkful offers a perfect balance of textures and flavors: the crunch of the pastry, the silky richness of the pistachio cream, and the tender, golden sweetness of the caramelized pear. Enhanced with the delicate aroma of Gum Arabic, this dessert pays homage to Moroccan culinary heritage while embracing a modern, elegant twist.
The presentation is equally stunning, lightly dusted with powdered sugar and Star Anise, it’s a visual and gastronomic delight that embodies both tradition and innovation.
Mouda Palace itself is a destination worth experiencing. Set in the heart of the medina with a panoramic rooftop overlooking the ancient city, the restaurant offers a setting as memorable as its cuisine. Combining the beauty of traditional Moroccan craftsmanship with a contemporary, welcoming ambiance, it’s the perfect spot for romantic dinners, family gatherings, or special celebrations.
The menu showcases a thoughtful mix of Moroccan classics and international favorites, prepared with premium, locally sourced ingredients. From fragrant tagines and couscous to Mediterranean-inspired dishes and creative vegetarian options, there’s something to enchant every palate.
Equally outstanding is the warm, professional service that makes every guest feel truly welcome. At Mouda Palace, dining is not just about food, it’s about creating memories.
If you find yourself in Fes, don’t miss the chance to dine at Mouda Palace. And whatever you choose, make sure to end your meal with the Mouda Pastilla, a signature dessert that’s as unforgettable as the city itself.
