Dining in Casablanca — The Essential Guide
Morocco’s Commercial Capital at Table
Casablanca is not the Morocco that most visitors imagine: the Djemaa el-Fna is in Marrakech; the medina crowds are in Fez; the blue city is in Chefchaouen. Casablanca is Morocco’s commercial and industrial capital — the city that built the country’s economy, that houses its banking sector and its manufacturing base, and that has developed a dining scene calibrated for a sophisticated professional class with international standards and specifically Moroccan tastes.
The arrival of Table 3 — and its American Express One To Watch MENA 2025 recognition — has placed Casablanca on the global gastronomic map for the first time. Chef Bettioui’s return from a Michelin star in Germany represents the kind of culinary homecoming that changes a city’s food culture permanently. The other restaurants — La Sqala’s Portuguese fortress, Port de Pêche’s harbour freshness, El Cenador’s Hassan II Mosque views — provide the supporting cast.
The La Corniche Dining Strip
La Corniche is Casablanca’s seafront boulevard — the Atlantic-facing promenade that extends from the medina toward the Hassan II Mosque and that concentrates the city’s finest waterfront restaurants in a strip of compelling visual and culinary interest. El Cenador and Le Relais de Paris both occupy La Corniche positions; the Hassan II Mosque’s minaret is visible from both. Dining on La Corniche at sunset, with the mosque illuminated above the Atlantic, is one of Africa’s great dining experiences.
