Rick’s Cafe Americain, “Casablanca”
You must remember this if there’s ever a Morocco visit on the menu: There is an honest to goodness Rick’s Cafe in Casablanca.
Opened in 2004, it’s the first Rick’s Cafe that Casablanca has ever seen and where the 1942 Warner Brothers film starring Humphrey Bogart lifted the rich details of the city at the time, the bar has lifted details from the film to recreate the feel and vibe that Bogart and Bergman made look so effortless and watchable.
After writing about the top bars of cinema I began wondering if there ever was a place that the “Casablanca” drew inspiration from and this is what I discovered. Sounds like in this case life imitates art …
Here’s looking at you, kid! And if you’d like to see the bar/restaurant that - no surprise -features a piano player, click here.
