    This is one of the places that’s truly worth the 5-star rating! I know I can be a bias being a geek for the Casablanca film since I was young, but this is not just a restaurant! This is the full re-imagining of the classic brilliance in that 1940’s film. I wasn’t able to take a photo of the queue outside but a lot of people are truly lining-up for this cafe. It’s even considered one of the tourist spots in Casablanca. Heck, I’ll just say it.. But I believe Casablanca became famous in credits to this film! Anyway, there’s definitely no walk-in chances to this restaurant. You have to visit their website and book there! Oh yes, their set of dishes in their menu is exceptional and it’s an advantage as well that they have a live music inside that varies each night. It can be Arabesque or a live jazz choir performance depending on the night. I don’t really know the schedule but it’s worth to look-on as a surprise. Just came for drinks and dessert with my friends as our reservation was 21:00 so we had to eat dinner earlier. But even so, their apple pie dessert and Rick’s cheesecake was exceptional! I’d say (as the film geek), this is the top place to visit in Casablanca.

    I would have loved to rate them 5 but did not get the treatment I was expecting from them. Have worked in a hospitality industry and learnt to treat all customers equal and that's what was missing here. Few friends dropped out at the last moment so we were just 4 for dinner with a table booked for 8 which did not go well with the hostess. The restaurant was almost empty with quite a few tables actually seated but we were the culprits. Everyone wants to enjoy a fine dinning once in a while and when in Casablanca why not at the Rick's Cafe. All I asked was well cooked lamb chops and what I received was two lamb chops cooked in different temperatures. Such a waste of money.

    Amazing food and service! A real testament to the Casablanca movie with Humphrey Bogart and Ingrid Bergman. Rick’s Cafe really does a good job of making sure you have a great experience. We ordered the lamb shank, which is what we were told most people order. We also ordered the seafood platter, which was very big and delicious. Would totally recommend to tourists but definitely not a spot that locals frequent. 10/10 would recommend!!

    As an avid "Casablanca" fan, I was relatively satisfied with my dining experience at Rick's Café... But if you're not into the film, you would probably be better off dining elsewhere. The food was good but slightly under-seasoned and overpriced. Wait staff were kind but not particularly attentive – we had to try many times to flag them down whenever we needed something. However, drinks were delicious (I recommend the French 75, one of the cocktails ordered in the movie) and the atmosphere was GREAT thanks to a very talented live jazz trio. A must-see at least once for any "Casablanca" fanatic, but a could-skip for anyone else.

    Booked for a Sunday lunch at this famed establishment. Little did I know it was founded only in 2004, recreated based on the fictitious cafe in the movie. Although I never saw the entire movie I was rather hoping they would play that song which Sam is supposed to play again and again. But unfortunately live music starts in the evening after 9 only. Food and service were good. We ordered a prawn salad to share. Sea bass and linguine as mains. Wanted to try their lamb shank but it's not on the menu and waiter said it's no longer available. After chowing down desserts we were awfully full. The crowd seated for lunch that day were mainly folks of the movie's vintage while a younger lot perched at the bar for cocktails. Let's not forget it's just after noon! Smokers can go upstairs where there's more tables and another bar. All in all, a nice place to have a classy meal if you're ever in Casablanca!

    Very nicely decorated restaurant in the 40s style! It's worth a visit even if you haven't watched the movie. The food is more pricey of course, but not that much more than other touristic places in Marrakesh. We had the seafood linguine and the sea bass with curry, both were really nice and decent portions. Service was super friendly too.

    One of the touristy things to do in Casablanca. Made reservations in advance. Was well worth the hype ( and the price). The food was great, service impeccable. The icing on the cake was live jazz music and of course the song from the movie. Don't forget to visit upstairs!!

    If you are looking for a nostalgic and beautiful place to eat and drink while in Casablanca, Morocco, then look no farther than Rick’s Café. It is, as the name implies, inspired by the classic black and white film “Casablanca”, filmed in 1942 with the leading actors Humphrey Bogart and Ingrid Bergman, plus Peter Lorre and others. This exceptional restaurant and bar is located a short distance from Casa Port train station, but it is advisable to take a small petit taxi rather than walk. I decided to have an early lunch (Rick’s Café opens at 12:00 noon) before a 2 o’clock appointment. Various reviews have ranked this restaurant as one of the best in the city. I didn’t want a huge lunch, and after glancing at the menu I decided to order a pasta dish: Tagliatelle Alfredo with thin slices of duck in a cream sauce, with a bowl of freshly grated Parmesan cheese on the side. I sat on the lower level facing the piano under the octagonal glass domed ceiling three stories above me, from which nine lanterns are hung. The room had three Moroccan arches on each side, and the main green marble topped bar is off to one side. The soaring ceiling reminded me of the Tiffin Room inside Raffles Hotel in Singapore. Within 10 minutes, the efficient and polite English-speaking waiter brought my food to my table which was beautifully set up with a pepper mill, salt shaker and a black cotton tablecloth. The waiter also brought a separate bowl of absolutely delicious mixed vegetables: thinly-sliced carrots, perfect green beans and zucchini, all sautéed in garlic and with bits of parsley, and slightly al dente. One clear indicator of a superior restaurant is that the freshly baked bread is warm, and it was placed on a separate bread plate with a gleaming butter knife. There was a small round bowl of butter at room temperature. I only ordered a half bottle of mineral water, but the attentive waiter discreetly poured it into my glass and refilled it several times. I was delighted to have chosen Rick’s Café and you can be sure that I’ll be back every time I’m in Casablanca. The interiors of Rick's Café were rendered by the late famed interior designer and architect Bill Willis, and they are reminiscent of scenes from the film "Casablanca". Willis was born in Memphis, Tennessee but before age 20 he moved to Rome, then Paris and the south of France, until he settled in Morocco, first in Tangier in 1961. Willis eventually moved to Marrakech where he lived and worked for 40 years until his death in 2009, designing interiors for the fabulous homes of Yves Saint Laurent, John Paul Getty, Jr. and Alain Delon, among others. All of the staff of uniformed waiters and bartenders at Rick's Café are efficient and polite and they provide immaculate service. The food is generous, fresh and attractively presented, and there is a good variety on the menu to choose from, with daily specials and a Sunday Brunch. There is an extensive wine selection and beers and cocktails. You will always find something that you can easily afford. Reservations are not required and credit cards are accepted. A 10% tip is automatically added to your bill, but since I was very pleased with everything, I left an extra generous tip for good service. Before leaving, the bartender asked if I would write some message in a special red leather guest book at the end of the marble bar. I had mentioned to him how I had known the restaurant's late founder, Kathy Kriger. We had several friends in common, including Joe McPhillips III and the talented designer of Rick’s Café, Bill Willis. Kathy was also an admirer of the expatriate writer and composer Paul Bowles, a friend and neighbor of mine in Tangier. Rick's Café does have a dress code: no shorts, T-shirts or backpacks here. The air-conditioned restaurant and bar is upscale and elegant. While tourists do eat here, Rick's Café is most definitely not a "tourist trap", but rather one of the most attractive and best restaurants in Casablanca and in all Morocco. You will have fond memories after your fine dining experience at Rick’s Café.

    Ricks Cafe is a must see for tourists and locals alike. Spend some time researching the lengths it’s creator went to ensuring an authentic experience. The atmosphere is elegant and the service impeccable, worthy of some of the finest eateries we have ever visited. The food was top notch and the plating worthy of photos. I know I’m going to be recreating the fig and goat cheese appetizer myself! Photos of the food aren’t great, due to the lighting and ambiance, which has been thoughtfully created. A highlight of our trip to Casablanca, and we will making a second stop before our 10 days is finished.

    This is not the real ricks from the movie Casablanca. That entire movie was shot in Los Angeles and this place was opened up less than 20 years ago. They did a good job making it look authentic. If you are coming for dinner they do have live tunes and decent food but make sure you have reservations. The price point is higher than other areas. We only stopped in for a drink between walking tours. The martini was not that great. Stick to the house special or a beer. At the time of writing this review there is a lot of construction in front of the restaurant so you may miss it when you are searching for it. The construction is expected to be over in a couple months. Overall this place is worth checking out and having a quick drink at.

    I had an amazing experience at Rick's Cafe. Starting with what was great! I really enjoyed the decor and the live music, the atmosphere was so lovely. Food was great, with good size portions 😊 Quick and friendly service. Things to be aware of: - It is a bit pricey - The place has a very strong cigarette smell inside (I think you can smoke inside) - While food presentation is lovely, it was missing a bit of addition flavour for the starter and would be good to add some cheese to the Linguine. As a whole I do recommend this place.

    Wanted to go here for ages, being a fan of the film, however I know this is only a few years old and does not look like the one in the movie. Still it was worth doing and I was surprised with the quality of the food. Its a very popular place, so you have to book and its better to try and get a table on the first floor. Would recommend for lunch, even if you are not a fan of the film.

    Overall worth it. Staff is welcoming and professional, they know what they're doing. Even when they are not very subtle wanting to throw you out after 2h. The menu is simple enough, international, not really influenced by the Moroccan location. Food is decent, not spectacular (ordered my stake medium, came well done). The setup takes you in the movie, especially when the piano guy comes in and does As Time Goes By. Sadly, he's from Venezuela, so that's the only song he knows from the time Casablanca was filmed. The other ones he plays are Latino, so as soon as that starts you're breaking away from the movie atmosphere straight into DESPERADO territory.

    The place has charm and potential. They would do well not to discriminate against solo travellers by treating us the same as couples or groups… on the tables for meals rather than at the bar (especially when there are plenty of places available).

    Went here for our anniversary dinner and to share in the "golden age of cinema" experience. The food was incredible - we had to pause to enjoy it! The cocktails were lovely. The service was unbeatable - I barely had to light my own cigarettes much less pour my own wine. This is a 5 star place, so expect to pay fine dining prices - but well worth every penny. Please tip the piano player and service staff - they do an amazing job!! We left full, tipsy, and elated!

    A MUST-SEE if you find yourself in Casablanca. They nailed the aesthetic, including recreating the live music and service. I loved the food. It was the best I had in Morocco. Service was so very attentive and helpful. Pricing was standard American pricing.

    Beautiful cafe with traditional design. Live music and nice atmosphere. Food was so tasty and delicious. We got goat cheese and fig salad for starter, lamb shank and beef stroganoff for main course and apple tart with vanilla ice cream and espresso ice cream shake for dessert. We really enjoy every single item we ordered.

    Beautiful place. Servers were very friendly and knowledgeable, but didn’t come around often and we had to get their attention most of the time. Appetizers (oysters) and dessert (apple tart) were really good. Steak was not, maybe it was just me. Spinach a tad dry, but mushrooms were super flavorful. Dress code is non-existent, but they say there is one...I didn’t care, but some of my business colleagues did. Went at lunch, so no music was playing. May or may not go back, but def worth checking out.

    A restaurant done out to mimic the set for that classic film, Casablanca. It was very busy! It was essential to book. We had booked to go in for a drink so did not eat here. There is a small bar area where a film of Casablanca is on a cycled run …. It was a joy. Bar staff were friendly and welcoming. Loads of people ( like us) taking photos. It felt great 😊

    Was looking forward to Rick's Cafe and wasn't disappointed. The greeting, ambience, food, and drinks was just what we were expecting. We originally booked a lunchtime table but then decided to change it to a dinner and music reservation, which we did quite easily the evening before. If I had one negative, I would have to say the music, I'm sure the couple were very good in front of a Moroccan audience, but I was expecting maybe songs / music from the 1940s. I think they did play clips from the film during the musicians' breaks, but as we were sitting upstairs, we couldn't hear what it was very well. To my untrained ear, every time the musicians came back on, they seemed to sing the same songs again. I would definitely go again, but maybe just for lunch, unless I hear that it's a different type of music.

    Came here as a tourist and a movie fan, really enjoyed my time. Good service and food. The interior was absolutely beautiful and looks very much alike to the movie. The front door wasn’t as eye-catching as expected but it’s right off the street and should be easy to find. Romantic place and would love to come back!

  • 3/5 Hayati 2 years ago on Google
    Great food and atmosphere but feels like a tourist trap. The food tastes great and portion sizes were large, the price is high but to be expected from a fine dining establishment. For a portion of the night there was live music, very classy, very soothing, and a good accompaniment with a nice dinner. The music turns to oldies quick that make you feel like you are at Rick's Cafe in the 40s, but that's where that feeling stops. Beside the music and some Casblanca movie props, this place doesn't feel like Rick's Cafe. Saturday night and so empty, never would've imagined Rick's to be like this. Maybe I'm holding this place to a weird standard, but anyone wanting to visit to get a Rick's cafe feel you will be disappointed. I was also disappointed with the rude and not-caring attitude of the waiter, which is a let down because for the most part I've enjoyed socializing in Morocco.

    Rick’s Café, the legendary “Gin Joint” of Casablanca. The place was designed to recreate the bar made famous by Humphrey Bogart and Ingrid Bergman in the movie classic Casablanca. The restaurant – piano bar is filled with architectural and decorative details reminiscent of the film Casablanca. There is also an authentic 1930s Pleyel piano and As Time Goes By is a common request to the in-house pianist. This is definitely a landmark not to be missed when visiting Casablanca.

    It is understood that it is a very famous place but the prices are far above normal. I was surprised to pay €10/100DH for an espresso. If you decide to go, I recommend ordering a cocktail instead of a coffee. They cost almost the same.

    From the famous movie Casablanca, this hotel is created with the same decorations as in the movie. The restaurant is very classy, think live piano. If you want drinks only you can head upstairs into the cigar room which looks just like a bar from the 50's. Pretty fun for a fictional place. Pricey. Reservations recommended for dinner.

    A place that leans on the movie to get you in the door, but the real experience is made by the staff, in an amazing riad. The staff are absolutely sensational, friendly and attentive, but also relaxed. A super comfortable environment. Food was good too- even came with some unexpected treats! I visited during the day, would be cool to see the place at night with a band playing. In all, a pleasant surprise, and I recommend going.

    One of the only few places open lunch during Ramadan. The cafe is a copy from the movie, there is no original. Food was ok, apparently touristy and overpriced. Server stopped us from taking pictures at the entrance, very rude. They also charged us a bottle of water we didn’t even touch, but we caught it before pay. I don’t recommend this place at all as there are plenty of other better places to go.

    (Translated by Google) Closed. Rating not to the institution, but to Google, for the lack of information about the closure. On Google, everything works. The cafe itself is located well, in a very dumb dream. On the website, they write about dress codes and atmosphere. Well, I don’t know ... Perhaps, when the cafe is open, there are red carpets and stewards fluttering around, but now all around the building is decay and dirt, I would definitely not go there in a dress.

    For being a touristy place, we had low expectations for food, so we were so pleasantly surprised to have really incredible meals. Wine list is not extensive, but there are some great choices for good value (compared to other restaurants we went to). Service and atmosphere was just awesome. We even met some very kind people at the next table and shared a couple of bottles with them!

    What a wonderful place to spend a magical evening with your friends/ family / lover. I can't stress how amazing the whole atmosphere is, how great the service is, and how nicely everyone treated us. The food was quite decent, it came quickly and was delicious, however not something super crazy. The wine options are plentiful, so I am pretty sure everyone will find something to their liking. The restaurant at night becomes very busy, so keep in mind, that booking in advance is a great idea, especially if you are more in a group.

    Warning: entire restaurant is smoking! There is no non-smoking area. Table behind us chain smoked the entire night. Besides that, impeccable service! A real fancy dinner which is hard to come by in Morocco. 2 person band played lovely Moroccan music. Fish entre (grilled sea bass in curry sauce and wild rice) was DELICIOUS. Beef steak might be the best in Morocco, just won’t be the best you’ve ever had. Drinks are poured strong. A fun experience and beautiful interior! Right next to the Marina Mall if you want to walk around there before.

    Honestly I can’t fault this place at all. Yes the beer is expensive but if you’re there then you’re there for the place. The food is amazing and white reasonably priced, the staff are incredibly kind and attentive, and the atmosphere is great, especially when they start the live music. Cannot recommend highly enough, especially for fans of the wonderful movie itself.

    Never been to the place. But, I’ve seen the movie “Casablanca” dozens of times. In the US it is sometimes rated the best movie ever made. I posted a picture of the piano, Rick and Sam. Someone should get credit. I don’t know who.

    Excellent service and delicious food. Book in advance though if you are going but it's a really nice way to end your trip! The cafe is named for the one in the movie Casablanca. Many people come to see and be seen just because of that. I have another reason to go there. The food and the service are excellent! IF that were not enough if you schedule your dinner for a little later in the evening then by the time you are finished eating there will be a band playing

    (Translated by Google) There is no need for an appointment or reservation for the entrance. Tourists come by bus, have a drink and take lots of photos. At the entrance, they ask whether to eat or have a quick snack, and a table is given accordingly. If you drink coffee, you will have a cheescake with it. They have good beer vs Corona. The interior of the place is beautiful exotic. (Original) Giriş için randevuya rezervasyona falan ihtiyaç yok. Turistler otobüslerle gelip bir drink içip bol bol foto çekip gidiyorlar. Girişte yemek mi yenilecek veya hızlıca bişeyler mi atıştırılacak diye soruyorlar ona göre masa veriliyor. Kahve içerseniz yanında cheescake ikram. Corona vs güzel biraları var. Mekanın içi güzel egzotik.

    Travel back in time as soon as you walk in the door of Ricks Cafe in Casablanca. The ambiance of the restaurant is astounding, with 3 floors beautifully decorated and set as if you were a character in the movie. The menu and food was fresh, light and delicious. The service and drinks were creative, refreshing and well made. They also have live music on some nights so make sure to check out their website before booking a table.

    A delightful, memorable evening @ Rick’s Cafe. Beautiful rooms, exceptional service, and food befitting a restaurant of this quality. Truly impressed .. surpassing my expectations. A menu with classic starters and entrees, a creative drink guide and a nicely curated selection Moroccan and European wines. A delicious meal and wonderful night in Casablanca with piano to make you think .. you’re in film. Highly recommend !

    A very nice dinner at a beautiful restaurant with tasteful homages to the classic film. Live piano music, candlelight, cocktails, and fruits de mer made it a very pleasant evening. Our hotel concierge didn't recommend it but we went anyway and were not disappointed.

    We enjoyed a delicious and romantic dinner here last night. The ambiance is exactly what you would expect, with beautiful period-correct decorations and wonderful music by a talented pianist who has been playing here since they opened. Goat cheese & figs, monkfish, duck confit - all very tasty. They even brought Susie a complimentary Kir Royale after dinner. Highly recommended.

    Exceeded expectations! Gorgeous interior, exceptional servers, and a lovely cocktail and food menu. Live piano music was a treat. Of course, prices are at a premium for the experience of dining here, but the food was decent. We were surprised there were not larger scallops (or a larger quantity) in the entree we ordered featuring scallops with lemon risotto, based on the 230 dh price, however the scallops were nicely prepared and the lemon risotto was nice. The other entree we ordered featuring monkfish was good, but a bit overly salted. Again, not impressed given the price, but the price is for the ambiance, not the food in our opinion. Not a restaurant we would feel the need to go back to again, but it was a fun and pleasantly memorable novelty experience we will recommend to friends.

    Amazing service and food. They were able to accommodate our walk-in for 2 people before the curfew at 9PM. Ordered the roast citrus salmon and mojito. Food came out quickly and was delicious. Beautiful ambiance. A must see if you’re visiting Casablanca.

    If you're a fan of the movie "Casablanca" you will love every corner of this place! The venue didn't actually exist before the movie... It was created afterwards.. The place is amazing, the food is so delicious.. The workers are very friendly and welcoming.. It is slightly expensive but definitely worth it. Its a must visit 👌🏼

    Had an incredible time visiting the legendary Rick's Cafe. The server was incredible and the atmosphere brings you back to the 1942 fictional restaurant and bar with their amazing music and decor. I ordered the crab salad (wouldn't recommend), baked oysters with hollandaise sauce (go for it), and the Lobster and pasta dish (Awesomeness). My wife ordered the T-Bone (wasn't her favorite). Overall the restaurant was a hit and I would recommend anyone to give it a visit. Don't expect Rick aka Humphrey Bogart to be there other than a few posters here and there. But if it makes you feel any better I was slinging his famous one liners to the server all night....

    A unique experience in Casablanca that one must try. I was greeted with a very welcoming staff from the door and walking me in to my table. Feels like you step back in time a little bit with the recreation of the bar in the Casablanca movie. I sat in the bar area as I grabbed a drink and dessert. I had their special Ricks drink which is a whiskey based drink with a sweet twist that I loved. The tables, chairs, lighting and everything was preserved antiques. Except European prices or fine dinning prices which is fine because of the ambient. The one thing that held me back from the 5star is cleanliness as the bar area had bunch of flies around. Looks like they had the windows open and nothing to kick out the flies.

    Amazing food and service. The staff is very tolerant of guests running around the restaurant taking pictures of black jack tables or roulette table.. but sitting at Sam's paino make sure you take a pic quick, patrons are usually sitting very close to the paino and may complain to the staff if ur not quick. Highly recommend I cant wait to go back.
