Rick's Café exists solely because a classic film—Casablanca (1942)—captivated former U.S. diplomat Kathy Kriger. Though the movie's "Rick's Café Américain" was a Hollywood set, Kriger spent seven years meticulously recreating its ambiance in a 1930s Moorish villa near Casablanca's ancient medina. She sourced North African architectural details, installed arched colonnades and black-and-white checkerboard floors, and even imported a 1930s Pleyel piano like the one played by Sam in the film. The café opened in 2004, transforming a derelict space into a pilgrimage site for movie lovers.

    We absolutely loved our dinner here and highly recommend. I thought it would be a little touristy but the food was excellent and interesting and the service was too notch. If you’re looking for a fun, elegant night out I highly recommend.

    Fantastic experience. We had made dinner reservations but instead went for lunch. It must be low tourist season as we walked in easily. Ambience is unparalleled service was impeccable and food was good. They have a vegetarian menu that is not displayed on the website

    We watched the movie right before we dined here, and we loved seeing all the references. You are transported back in time with the decor, the service, and the food! We would have been happy just basking in the nostalgia of this era, but we were also delighted by the food. We had the salmon, steak, and crown stroganoff. For dessert, we had the chocolate cake, banana split, coffee milkshake, and grilled pineapple. It was all scrumptious with the highest level of service from the staff. Note that if you want to buy a souvenir from this place, they only take cash for the merch!

    Admittedly, I was a bit undecided if we were going to book for an evening at this nostalgic Casablanca cinephile's haunt, however, I am super delighted we did. The decor was tasteful and not overdone, the service was courteous and attentive and entertained us with their comical humor. We enjoyed delicious starters and entrées with hearty portions, so much so, that we didn't have room for dessert. We enjoyed the Moroccan Volubulis red wine along with the piano renditions of old and modern songs. A very enjoyable evening. Make sure you get a quick look at the upstairs lounge with it's nostalgic photos of Casablanca and sit at the bar after your meal for the full experience. We had the later time-slot, so it was lovely to not have to shift off our table for the second sitting.
