Description

Leave your shoes at the entryway but bring your sense of adventure to Mataam Fez, a traditional Moroccan-style restaurant that's given East Colfax some exotic culinary flair for decades. Diners sit on pillows and use their fingers to eat their way through five extravagant courses, which can include everything from game hen and rabbit to lamb, chicken and beef flavored with exotic spices. A meal at Mataam Fez is a sumptuous affair that can span three hours: Belly dancers, pre-dining rituals and informative servers fill the time with intrigue and deliciousness.
