Pasticceria restaurants in Africa

  1. Patisserie Bennis Habous

    One of the city’s most famous and traditional patisseries, this place in the Quartier Habous is Casa’s best spot for traditional Moroccan treats, including some of the best cornes de gazelle (gazelle horns, almond paste) pastries in town, as well as made-to-order pastillas.

    La Mamma

    It looks pretty dark from the outside, but this old favourite serves some of the best pizza and pasta in town. The beamed ceilings and candlelit tables add a touch of 1970s romantic atmosphere, and the wood-fired pizzas and grilled meats will leave you planning a return visit.

    Vesuvio

    If you're at the stage of screaming when presented with yet another tajine, this place may well be for you. Stock-standard Italian dishes feature - the thin-crust pizzas and stodgy pasta are acceptable, but only just. No alcohol.

    Rossi Restaurant

    This popular hang-out for divers and expats serves a variety of pizza toppings on crispy crusts, and pasta dishes – the service is relaxed, and women can eat by themselves without being hassled.

    Vault Restaurant

    Pizza (with real cheese), pasta and even veal grace this Italian restaurant's menu. Housed in a former bank, the massive vault still lurks in the shadows.
