📍 Rick’s Café 📍 👉In an old courtyard-style mansion set against the walls of the Old #Medina in Casablanca, the mythical Rick’s Café was brought to life by one woman’s dream to demonstrate true American values. Kathy Kriger worked for the #US embassy but, following 9/11, decided that she wanted to leave the government, stay in #Morocco, and pursue her dream of recreating Rick’s Café from the legendary Casablanca #movie. After two years of development and building, in 2004, Rick’s Café finally opened its doors to rave reviews. 👉The restaurant – the piano #bar is filled with architectural and decorative details reminiscent of the #film: curved arches, a sculpted bar, balconies, balustrades as well as beaded and stencilled brass lighting and plants that cast luminous shadows on white walls. There is an authentic 1930s Pleyel #piano and As Time Goes By is a common request to the in-house pianist. Owned by The Usual Suspects company, this Casablanca landmark is usually described as the real Rick’s Café, finally bringing the legendary “Gin Joint” of #cinema fame to life in today's Casablanca. 👉Immerse yourself in Bogart and Bergman’s #Casablanca at this reimagining of Rick's celluloid cafe. The #art deco interiors, the strains of ‘As Time Goes By’ and fez-clad bartenders will transport you to the famed gin joint, while you enjoy classic French and Moroccan #dishes, accompanied by a live #jazz soundtrack from ]9.30 pm. 👉Follow us and tag yourself if you are interested in sharing your most perfect pictures of our beautiful country @moroccofriendlytravel Credit:® @hafiidii.omaar #casablancamorocco #casablancamovie #movie #rickscafecasablanca #themoviecasablanca #hktraveller #foodtravel #filmcameras #love #instagood #photooftheday #beautiful #happy #classic #instatravel
