Les
Frères Gourmet is the kind of place where a writer can go and sit
during hours and hours. No one bothers you, the service is very
polite, they smile all the time, and never try to rush you so the
table is free for some other client. The decoration is contemporary
yet very elegant: plenty of bookcases, nice wallpapers, old
photographs scattered everywhere...they have a cute little terrace
for the 300+ sunny days that you get in Casablanca and is located in
the most civilized of streets, where you can find Bulgari, Cartier,
Chopard and many other jewelers. I know what you're thinking, but
actually the clients are not as snobbish as one may imagine, they
come in beautiful cars and smell expensive, yes, but they're more the
connoisseur type rather than the judgmental bitch. Gatsby is a
regular here, and specially enjoys the best hot chocolate in Town,
thick and made out of real chocolate, not some Nesquick powder. Ice
creams, sandwiches, omelettes, Frères Gourmet is a good alternative
to a regular restaurant since the feeling is much nicer than in some
real ones, and the prices are really affordable. Its interesting that in the upper floor they sell cute handmade arts & crafts from candles to cushions and the kind of Jewelery you could find in Ibiza...and that you can only wear in Ibiza. As many other places
in chic Casablanca, they offer a car park valet.
