Has anyone ever been to Rick's Cafe in Morocco?

Question

I am traveling to Casablanca, Morocco, soon, and wish to visit this Cafe....has anyone ever been there? If so, what are the prices like? And is there a dress code?

Answer 1

Hi There,

I'm in Casa at the moment and went to Ricks cafe on Sunday for a cocktail with my girlfriend.

Its lovely inside and the decor 'traditional' from the movie.  I can recommend it - no problem. It costs about 75mad (Morrocan Dirhams - about 5 €) for a Tequila Sunrise. And you get a "heres looking at you kid" from the bloke in the Fez behind the bar.

Its cool, and a h**l of a lot better than a lot of the bars in Casa.

I can recommend one thats about 10 minutes walk from there which is a traditional Arabic bar and really good fun with nice people inside.  Its called the 'Don Quixoite' but if you take a taxi pronounce it the 'donkey-shoat'  (sounds like throat)- french pronounciation.

Its right in the middle of town and you should try to get a table on the terrase and watch the world go by.

VERY VERY interesting characters drink there.

Oh yeah,  Dress code in Ricks is smartish casual.  Jeans were OK with a teashirt on. - shoes - not flip-flops.

Theres a bouncer on the door to keep the riff-raff out (or is it to keep you in!?)

Ciao - hope it helps
