Le Cabestan Ocean View

Top choice in Casablanca


Perched beneath the lighthouse, this stylish restaurant has a French Riviera feel and Mediterranean-inspired menu. Opt for just-caught fish and seafood, perhaps salt-baked sea bass, and wash it down with a creative cocktail or Casablanca beer. Reservations essential; request a table on the terrace or next to a panoramic window. There is a hearty snack menu between 3pm and 7pm.
