Salt and Pepper, for a Healthy Lunch
Located in the heart of Bourgogne, Salt & Pepper is one of the new restaurants in Casablanca that you must try if you’re looking for healthy options. Open from 12pm to 7pm, the restaurant serves delicious and balanced cuisine. Contemporary ambience, relaxed atmosphere, and attention to detail characterize this spot.. The tableware, for example, is custom and handmade, just like the small embroidered napkins that bear inspiring messages. The concept was conceived by a young woman, Samia Benkiran, a trained nutritionist and passionate cook. Whether it’s lunchtime during the week or brunch on Sundays, Salt & Pepper is an ideal stop.
For what to order, the “Petit Bistro” menu is served at the table from 12pm to 3pm, while the “Snacking” menu is available throughout the day. Those with a sweet tooth will easily be tempted by the cheesecakes, banana breads, or lemon brownies. The tarfernout burger, breaded crab cakes, and numerous salads will satisfy savory cravings. Local and seasonal products, combined with balanced and inventive pairings, are the main ingredients at Salt & Pepper.

La Bavaroise, for a Bistronomic Lunch or Dinner
Located opposite the central market downtown, Brasserie La Bavaroise is a true institution among restaurants in Casablanca.

After months of renovation, this legendary establishment has recently reopened its doors. True to its “Parisian brasserie” vibe, it has undergone a makeover and now welcomes guests in a sleeker, more contemporary yet equally warm setting.
In addition to modernizing the facilities, an outdoor terrace has been created. An open-air spot that’s perfect for sunny days. When it comes to the cuisine, they’ve kept things the same because it’s simply delicious!
