Rick's Café

A bar and restaurant opened in 2004 in a riad near the old medina, designed to recreate the fictional café from the 1942 film. Rick's Café never existed — the film was shot entirely in Hollywood and Humphrey Bogart never visited Morocco. The replica is excellent nonetheless: a piano, ceiling fans, a pianist who plays "As Time Goes By" twice a night, and enough atmosphere to sustain the myth.
