DINING
Casablanca is a multi-cultural city and while many of the restaurants serve a menu consisting of only Moroccan or French food there are also Oriental, Mexican, Italian, Indian and American style places to be found here. However, remember that during Ramadan there may be restrictions on menus and opening hours. It is worth looking out for Mechoui, which is a dish made of spit-roasted lamb seasoned with paprika and cumin. Also, Bisteeya which is a savoury pastry that contains chicken and eggs in a lemony onion sauce topped with crushed almonds and cinnamon and sugar. Casablanca is also known for its ice cream parlours and patisseries.
La Mer
La Mer is a nautically themed restaurant that specialises in local fish and seafood dishes. If you go there you should try to get a seat by the window, although everyone does, as the views from there are amazing.
A Ma Bretagne
This place is famous for its excellent à la carte menu that includes Foie Gras. A Ma Bretagne is run by award winning Maître Cuisiniers de France chefs. Again the views from here are as good as the food.
Le Cabestan
Le Cabestan is an elegant little restaurant with a classic French menu and good view of the harbour and lighthouse. Many locals claim this to be one of the best restaurants when it comes to seafood.
Taverne Du Dauphin
Taverne Du Dauphin is a popular restaurant near the coast that serves a good choice of fresh fish dishes with large range of delicious sauces. The squid is especially recommended here but I have not tried it.
Restaurant Le Port de Pêche
Restaurant Le Port de Pêche is another seafood restaurant found in Casablanca. This restaurant has a nautical theme and is very popular. Coming here you can expect fast, friendly service and good food.
Restaurant Imilchil
If you really want to try some genuine Moroccan food then this is the perfect place. Start with one of the specialties like Harira soup and then work your way onwards. The interior is traditional and filled with beautiful mosaics.
Le Tribeca
Le Tribeca offers a modern restaurant with a good selection of food and wine. Here you can also enjoy live music.
L'Etoile Centrale
This place serves typical Moroccan food like lamb, couscous, vegetables and Harrira soup. L' Etoile Centrale is well recommended by its guests and offers a nice décor.
Kim Mon
The Kim Mon is an exotic restaurant where you can indulge in Asian food like spring rolls, dumplings and crab. The restaurant offers attentive service and a traditional Asian décor.
