Practical tips

Aim for the Central Market at lunchtime when the buy-and-grill stalls are at their liveliest.
Leave time to cross town to the Corniche for sunset — Casablanca traffic can be slow.
Order sardines at least once; they're the freshest and most Moroccan thing on the menu.
Cover shoulders and knees for the Hassan II Mosque tour, which runs at set times.

Frequently asked questions

Is one day enough for Casablanca food?

Yes for the essentials — the Central Market seafood lunch and a Corniche dinner capture the city's character. A second day would add the Habous quarter's pastries and olives.

What should I eat in Casablanca if I only have one meal?

Fresh grilled seafood — pick a fish at the Central Market and have it cooked on the spot, or order a mixed platter on the Corniche. It's what the city does best.

Is Casablanca a good food city compared to Marrakech or Fes?

It's different rather than lesser. Casablanca is about seafood, markets and café culture rather than medina street food, so it complements the older imperial cities well.
