15 restaurants, cafés and bars in Casablanca that Wikivoyage's editors recommend, with addresses, hours and prices.
Le Kobe D'Or
9 Rue Abou Salt El Andaloussi · just off of Brahim Roudani
An Asian restaurant that is hard to miss, as it has an enormous red neon sign. The inside is nicely decorated in dark red, with lots of mirrors and Asian details. The food is ho-hum; the soups are great but the chicken tends to be overcooked. Still, a nice place for a quick snack close to the Maarif, a good shopping area.
Rick's Cafe
248 Rue Sour Jdid
This restaurant claims to have recreated the eponymous cafe from the movie Casablanca, however even the most cursory inspection can tell that the building's layout is nothing like the location from the film. Excellent location, within a 20-minute walk of the Hassan II Mosque and in the walls of the Old Medina bordering the ocean. The food is excellent, though expensive. Eat at one of the tables on the second floor for an excellent view of the seats below and the niveau-Moroccan decorations or eat on the ground floor to be nearer the piano player who plays, of course, "As Time Goes By" every ni
La Table du Rétro
22 Rue Abou Al Mahassine Arrayani
French cuisine
La Sqala
Blvd. Des Almohades
Built in the remains of an old fortress, this place is worth as much as a cultural attraction as it is a restaurant. On the outskirts of the old medina, it has cannons, walls, defensive positions, and portcullises as well as a nice, clean eating environment. Bands play on many nights. The atmosphere tends to be a little on the touristy side—though many of those tourists are themselves Moroccan as it's quite popular with the Moroccan elite—but the food is a good modern look at traditional Moroccan foods. Some dishes are vegetarian and vegan. They also have the obligatory Moroccan pastries and t
Brasserie La Cigale
Blvd Brahim Roudani · just south of the Rampwan de L'unite Africaine
An unassuming bar close to the Park of the Arab League, with a restaurant in front that serves only basic food (sausage or kefta sandwiches, salads, and the like.) The bar in the back is more crowded and has live music most nights. Beer is served with a plate of olives or popcorn, and it's one of the few Moroccan-style bars where women can drink in peace. Wine and spirits are available, but only when eating in the restaurant. A few phrases in Arabic to Aisha, the barkeeper, will win her heart and ensure a constant supply of olives.
La Corrida
59 Rue el Araar
From the outside, it's easy to miss this restaurant, but look for the little sign ringed in blinking lights. It has a nice outdoor courtyard, but the inside is the main attraction. It's decorated like with memorabilia from Spanish bull fighting tournaments and has a dark, candle-lit vibe that's perfect for dates. The sangria is tasty, as is the Tapas menu (which changes daily). Seafood is the specialty, and the steamed mussels should not be missed.
Taverne du Dauphin
115 Blvd Felix Houphouet
A little seafood place within walking distance of the old medina, the port, and the Park of the Arabic League, this place can get crowded at meal times. An excellent selection of seafood and one of the widest beer selections in all of Morocco (though that's only 5 or 6 different brews) makes this a very popular lunch spot. The fish is fresh from the fishermen at the port, and the shellfish (oysters, mussels and so on) are delicious. When paying, however, keep an eye on the waiters: they'll "help you count the money," which can turn into an elaborate shell game where they'll slip some of the ca
Al Mounia
95 Rue Prince Moulay Abdullah
This restaurant has an excellent courtyard with a hundred year-old tree. The main drawback is that since this restaurant is listed in most guidebooks, it fills up with tourists at an early hour. The cooking is mostly traditional Moroccan foods, with some of the best couscous in the country. There is also an extensive wine list.
La Cocina
55, Rue Mustapha el Manfalouti, Gauthier, a 20m de Zerktouni
The real Spanish taste in Casablanca. Located in the center of Casablanca, this restaurant offers a variety of Spanish dishes, very good rice and paellas dishes and a great selection of authentic Spanish tapas and local and imports wines and beers. Open from noon until midnight without interruption, its nice decor and friendly service make it a must in Casablanca.
Pâtisserie Bennis Habous
2, Rue Fkih El Gabbas
This place is famed for having some of the best pastries in Morocco. Try one of their famous hornes des gazelles. You should also try the bastilla (one of the most luxurious and prestigious dish in the Morocco's gastronomy, and Benny's is undoubtedly the best one. Choose the pigeon or farm chicken version. You must book it in advance.
YoSushi
12 Rue Mohammed Abdou
Sushi is catching on in a big way in Morocco. This little place, on a side street near the prefectural police headquarters, is one of the best. New, clean and trendy, you're unlikely to find anyone in it before 22:00. They serve all the sushi classics: Nigiri, Sashimi, Hosomaki, Maki, Futomakis and assorted other fish items. Though tasty, it can get expensive if your aim is to fill yourself up. Not very many options for vegan diners.
Restaurant Le Kazbar
7 Rue Najib Mahfoud, Gauthier · On a street between Blvd Anfa and Blvd Souktani.
A dark and atmospheric place to grab a drink or dinner. Any kind of attire will fly, but if you want to dress up, a night at Kasbar is your chance.
La Bodega
129 Rue Allal Ben Abdellah · Near the old downtown and Medina
A Spanish tapas bar, quite original. There can be a wait to get into the basement bar; but once you get inside, you're rewarded with bartenders who eat fire. It's pretty expensive, though, and only frequented by tourists.
Petit Poucet
86 Boulevard Mohamed V
A bar that has been around for decades, apparently Little Prince author and aviator Antoine de Saint-Exupéry already stopped by here. Somewhat worn-down.
