"Bring an enormous appetite because the portions are huge. We recommend the crisp pigeon pastille (likely the best in town)."

Fodor's Travel

"Run by women, it brings classic cooking to Guéliz with an affordable menu that includes tasty sweet-savory pigeon pastilla."

Seth Sherwood

"To most city dwellers, the pigeon is an ignoble nuisance, a rat of the sky, a menace to statues. But at Al Fassia, the lowly bird is cooked, diced and deployed in a perfectly flaky pastry along with finely chopped pistachios and almonds. Topped with a dusting of cinnamon and powdered sugar, the concoction becomes remarkably delicious."

Andrea Duty

"Pastilla is a sweet and savory pie-like dish traditionally stuffed with pigeon, spices, and dried fruits. Where to get it: Al Fassia has a small, starter-sized pastilla which is far more manageable than the traditional enormous disks."

Luisa Chiddo

"Pastilla: it’s like a millefeuille sweet and salt at the same time. They use to do that with pigeon or chicken and a lot of cinnamon and sugar. And now the report: Food: very very good. Well presented. Ingredients of quality."

Elle Croft

"It was here, in the dimly lit dining room of warm-hued reds and plush cushions that I tasted my first pastilla, a flaky pastry filled with pigeon and almonds, and dusted with icing sugar. The result of this unusual combination is heavenly."

Christelle Marot

"In a subtle and refined atmosphere, Al Fassia is inspired by cuisine of Fèz, traditional, familiar, where pigeon pastilla rivals golden shoulder of lamb with almonds or the stuffed fish in Fèz fashion."
