Theater in Casablanca: La Chute (The Fall)

Good plans in Casablanca thanks to the French Institute. La Chute (The Fall) is the third novel of Albert Camus, written in the shape of dramatic monologues: a stranger tell us the story of his life from success to misery in an analogy that englobes the whole human race. This was one of the favourite pieces of another existencialist, the great Sartre, and we are looking forward to see how the director Nabyl Lahlou and actress Sophia Hadi will...

Fine dining @Le 25 Casablanca

One of the best things to do in Casablanca is meet up with your friends and have a drink after a day of hard work and crazy driving.

So a few days ago the team of Casamood and a bunch of our best friends went to try the new place in town, Le 25 Casablanca. The space used to host the old Maison Blanche, but we've been told that after a long...

La Brioche Dorée...the gold-plated coffee shop

La Brioche Dorée is a French chain of fast-food style bakery with more than 500 shops worldwide. This kind of self-service in Morocco only means that you get your goodies on the counter but when you leave, the tray stays on on your table with an ashtray full of cigarrettes, so the new customer has to remove other people's leftovers. The combination of allowing to smoke with good prices creates a dark cloud of smoke on the back of the premises that...

Ashokai Japanese..closest thing to all-you-can-eat

Ashokai is maybe not the best Japanese restaurant in Casablanca, nevertheless it deserves to be considered as a fun and convenient option for group dinners due to its centric location and unbeatable price.

The clients are young...
