Casablanca

Atlantic Coast · Economic Capital

Casablanca is Morocco’s ocean-facing economic capital and usually its first chapter — home to the colossal Hassan II Mosque, a great concentration of Art Deco–Mauresque architecture, and the country’s best seafood, from central-market grills to the Corniche at Ain Diab.

  • Hassan II Mosque
  • Art Deco architecture
  • Best seafood in Morocco
  • Corniche & Ain Diab
  • Habous quarter
Eat & Drink

What they eat in Casablanca.

The dishes, markets and food experiences worth your appetite — drawn from our own guides on the ground. We point you to what to eat and where the locals eat it, not invented restaurant rankings.

Casablanca is the city where international flights land rather than the one people dream about — but it eats very well. Treat it as a curated first or last chapter: the mosque and the Habous quarter, then seafood by the ocean. Reserve popular tables (Rick’s Café fills nightly). Confirm current prices when you book.

Rick’s Café

A restored courtyard mansion recreating the film’s setting — arches, brass lamps and a piano — a fitting end to a Casablanca day.
