Casablanca has Morocco's most varied restaurant scene, and its best tables are found in three places: a few chef-led restaurants near the ocean in Anfa and Ain Diab, the luxury hotels, and the old seafront addresses along the Corniche. For a drink with a view, the rooftops of the new hotels have taken over from the old sky bars. This guide names places we could verify in 2026, with the source for each. We take no commission from any of them.
Where to eat and drink well in Casablanca
Table 3
Fine dining. Chef Fayçal Bettioui's restaurant at 4 Avenue de la Côte d'Emeraude, about 200 m from the Atlantic, cooks Moroccan produce with French technique and Japanese restraint, with seafood and vegetables to the fore and much of its produce from its own gardens. It ranked No. 11 on MENA's 50 Best Restaurants 2026 and was named The Best Restaurant in Morocco 2026, the only Casablanca restaurant on that list (50 Best; le360). Book well ahead.
La Grande Table Marocaine, Royal Mansour
Moroccan. The signature Moroccan restaurant of the Royal Mansour Casablanca, on Avenue des Forces Armées Royales downtown, serving refined Moroccan cooking with a view over the city. It is the formal choice for a first Moroccan dinner in Casablanca. Book through the hotel.
Le Rooftop, Royal Mansour
Rooftop. Twenty-three storeys above downtown, the Royal Mansour's rooftop restaurant serves Mediterranean cooking with Middle Eastern, Italian and Asian touches, from breakfast to late, with a DJ in the evenings. The hotel's site listed a Sunday brunch at MAD 900 a head when we checked in November 2026; prices change, so confirm when you book. It has one of the widest views in the city, out over the rooftops to the ocean.
L'Aragosta, Villa Sahrai
Rooftop. The Mediterranean rooftop restaurant and lounge of Villa Sahrai, a design hotel in Ain Diab two minutes' walk from the Corniche. The same hotel has Rubillini's, an Italian trattoria (eHotelier, March 2026). It is a quieter, more grown-up alternative to the Corniche beach clubs for a sunset drink and dinner.
Le Cabestan
Seafront. At 90 Boulevard de la Corniche, at the foot of the El Hank lighthouse, Le Cabestan has looked straight out over the Atlantic for close to a century; Visit Casablanca dates it to 1927. Its renovated dining room and terrace serve an international menu with aged meats, truffle dishes and tapas. Ask for a table by the window at sunset.
La Sqala
Moroccan. For Moroccan cooking in a historic setting, La Sqala sits in an 18th-century bastion on the edge of the old medina, with a garden courtyard. It is relaxed rather than formal and best for breakfast or lunch. Our La Sqala guide has the history and what to order.
Rick's Café
Classic. The restaurant and bar near the old medina that recreates the café from the 1942 film, with a pianist, arches and period styling. It is a fun, licensed evening with good classic cooking rather than a gastronomic address. See our Rick's Café guide before you book.
Rooftops: what to expect
Rooftop bars. The most reliable rooftop drinks in Casablanca are now in the hotels, such as Le Rooftop at the Royal Mansour and L'Aragosta at Villa Sahrai, where the bar is licensed and the view is the point. Go for sunset, then move on to dinner. The Kenzi Tower's well-known Sky 28 bar closed for a refit in 2023, and we could not confirm it has reopened, so we don't list it.
Booking, dress and alcohol
Practical. Book the top tables a few days ahead, and weeks ahead for Table 3 at weekends. Dress is smart casual: no beachwear, and closed shoes are safer in the hotels. Alcohol is served in licensed restaurants, hotels and bars, not everywhere, and some venues change their hours or stop serving alcohol during Ramadan, so check if you are travelling then.
Getting there and back
Practical. The best tables are spread out: Table 3 and Le Cabestan are on the western coast, the Royal Mansour downtown. Taxis and ride apps work, but for a dinner on the far side of town a private driver who waits is the easy way. We can plan an evening around the Corniche at sunset, dinner and a drive back to your hotel.
Want a private evening in Casablanca?
We plan an evening around the Corniche at sunset, a table at the restaurant you choose and a private driver who waits and takes you back to your hotel. You pay the restaurant directly; our part comes as a fixed price in writing within 24 hours.
