Gare aux Gorilles

Casablanca, Morocco

The first sign that Gare aux Gorilles isn’t aiming for subtlety is perhaps the golden gorilla statue that hangs theatrically from the ceiling, reflecting light off to mirrored archways that frame the bar. The next, perhaps, is the mature palm-lined terrace garden – a flamboyant must in sultry Casablanca – followed by a cocktail list with pours called things like a Horny Martini (vodka, passion fruit, vanilla and cocktail foamer, in case you were wondering). In seriousness, though, Gare aux Gorilles is a place that feels fun, social and grand – more all-day convivial spot that late-night drinking den – and with drinks that incorporate Moroccan flavours such as mint, citrus and fragrant rose. The perfect Friday stop when you find yourself in Casablanca for a long weekend.
