Casablanca is a city of neighbourhood grills, seafood lunches, traditional Moroccan dining rooms and late-night restaurants. Start with La Sqala for a relaxed Moroccan meal, Marché Central for fish, or one of the city's longstanding brasseries.
For a different evening, compare Spanish tapas in Racine, Italian restaurants around Gauthier and Maârif, or the restaurants and lounges along the coast and skyline. This directory helps you choose by cuisine and neighbourhood, without ranking every restaurant against the next. For unfamiliar dishes, use the Food Explorer or Menu Decoder.

Practical Tips
- For good-value seafood, eat at the Central Market restaurants at lunchtime and arrive early for the widest choice.
- Casablanca restaurants are busiest on Friday and Saturday evenings. Reserve ahead at any restaurant you specifically want to try.
- Many Casablanca restaurants serve alcohol, but not all. If wine matters for your dinner, check the restaurant's licence before going.
- Uber has relaunched in Casablanca through licensed transport vehicles, and other ride-hailing apps also operate in the city. Coverage and licensing vary by app, so check the service you are using before relying on it.
- Do not skip dessert. Casablanca's French-influenced patisseries are one of the city's pleasures; Amoud and the Habous bakeries are well-known names.
