Rick's Café
A piano bar restaurant recreated from the set of the film Casablanca, with white arcades, brass chandeliers and a piano playing “As Time Goes By.”
The film Casablanca was shot entirely in Hollywood. In 2004, a former American diplomat recreated the film's “Rick's Café Américain” in an old house by the walls of the Old Medina. The courtyard arcades, wooden screens, palm trees and piano are all arranged as in the film. In the evenings, a pianist plays “As Time Goes By,” and the film plays on a loop. The café serves Western and Moroccan cuisine, at about 400–600 dirhams per person. Dinner requires a reservation, and guests should dress appropriately; shorts and flip-flops are not allowed.
