Casablanca - Food & Drink:
Eat seafood, couscous, tajine (stew) and pastilla (pigeon pie) washed down with mint tea.
Chichi: Coast
Nibble on fruits de mer while the Atlantic waves crash below. Dip into one of the French influenced seafood restaurants that line the coast from the mosque in the west at Ain Diab to the port to the east. Be guided towards the El-Hank Lighthouse for some top-notch choices.
Mixed grill: Central
While you can snack on pizza or rotisserie chicken around the Central Market you can also find upscale French restaurants, tapas and elegant Moroccan salons. Dine al fresco in beautiful gardens or cosy up in the rich terracottas of Moroccan interiors. Choose from a hearty tajine or wild boar stew to stoke the boiler or keep it nouvelle.
Alternative: South
The pedestrian area running south from Place du 16 Novembre is the place to go for a change of scene. Chinese and Vietnamese are on the menu at Restaurant le Tonkin; round off with coffee at a nearby salon de thé.
Dining Tips
Tipping is expected in bars and restaurants: about 10-15% is usual. Restaurants close on either Sunday or Monday. If you are dining Moroccan style with your hands remember to only use the right hand. Avoid eating and drinking in the street during Ramadan.
