This year, Rustan’s is bringing the sights and flavors of Morocco through the opening of Café Casablanca. The restaurant will be opening its doors on the fifth floor of Rustan’s Makati, with interiors inspired by the sights of Marrakech.
Headed by Moroccan chef Rachida, Café Casablanca promises to bring diners on a journey through their wide range of dishes. The restaurant will be giving Filipinos a taste of Moroccan cuisine through their lamb and beef roasts and their selection of sweet and nutty desserts.
Start off your meal with appetizers like the cigar fromage and the briouat kefta, which are phyllo pastry dough dishes stuffed with cheese and Moroccan spiced minced meat respectively.
