Zineb Benharbit

The architect and painter spotlights the best places in Casablanca for brunch, breakfast and coffee.

Casablanca is known for being Morocco's largest city, its chief port and financial and economonic centre. In terms of gastronomy, the city is a melting pot of cultures, ranging from Arab food to Spanish and French flavours.

Casablanca-based creative Zineb Benharbit shows us the must-try places within the city, listing out spots for comfort food, a family lunch and more.

Morocco

The epicentre of Moroccan art deco architecture and main gateway to the nation, Casablanca gleams with an almost supernatural ecstasy, its air, infused with the aroma of Tagine and Pastilla. Their sweet hints of turmeric, ginger, saffron and cinnamon carried in the occasional gentle breeze from the Atlantic ocean momentarily ward off the extreme heat brought on by the nearby desert. Its burgeoning art scene's active mission to find new ways to repurpose abandoned buildings on its industrial outskirts breaths new life into the city. Small havens for individuals looking to experience Moroccan culture in more intimate settings. The Transcultural Slaughterhouse gallery is one of the most interesting of these projects.
