Taverne du Dauphin

This was the ok-est meal ever. We ended up here when our destination ended up being closed and we had to find something. The restaurant was nice, going for a finer dining look and feel on the outskirts of the Old Town. They did have a nice, air conditioned, non-smoking area upstairs - so that was awesome. My 7 year old was delighted to see Wimbledon on TV and was thoroughly enjoying the match, before the waiter decided to change the channel (to Fútbol of course) despite the room being mostly empty - my kiddo was pretty upset the rest of the meal. The rest of the service was similar, ok albeit slightly impatient. Something we learned is that this restaurant does things French style (which maybe we should’ve guessed by the name). That’s fine and good, but given we were in Morocco, we kinda wanted Moroccan style. After finally settling in on our dishes, pictured below the food started to trickle out. Most of it lacked much flavor. We did enjoy the salad which was fresh and generous. My kiddo enjoyed the tartar. However the fruit de mare and sardines were both meh. Sardines are supposed to be a local specialty, but here they were very underwhelming. While the fruit de mare was not overly fried (this is a positive) it also didn’t have much taste or flavor. That said, prices were reasonable, maybe the ultimate you get what you pay for? Our meal ended up being about 360 local (including tip), roughly €36. Look, if you’re looking for a bit of a buttoned up experience and trying to avoid any stomach bugs, this might be your jam. But honestly, you can probably do much better than okay. I know we plan on trying to.

What a lovely seafood restaurant! Recommended by our Airbnb host. Fresh seafood, we had oysters, grilled calamari, octopus, John Dory, Moroccan red wine, homemade creme brûlée. Food was excellent! Service was great, the waiter was attentive, moved us to a bigger table when one come available soon after we sat down. Enjoyable evening before our departure tomorrow!

Mouthwatering dishes cooked to perfection. Aromatic and tasty. All food should be prepared with this level of excellence. Outstanding service from a knowledgeable waiter who helped us understand the French menu and made excellent suggestions. Highly recommend.

we had dinner here 2 nights. Food was good and fresh, friendly service, nice atmosphere.

Amazing sea food, very tasty. Eat Turbot fish, so so good. Dessert is also great, home made chocolate muss, don’t miss it. Fully recommended!

I wasn’t quite satisfied with the mixed fried fish dish — it wasn’t what I expected. The taste was uncertain, and there were a lot of fish bones, which made it difficult to enjoy. I was hoping for something like breaded fillets of different fish instead. On the bright side, the service was good; the server was attentive and always ready to help. Just a heads-up: tips aren’t included, and they make sure you know that. Maybe trying a different dish next time would be a better choice.

No frills, no fuss, excellent seafood. This is a large restaurant right near the Casa Port train station serving amazing seafood dishes and a good wine selection. We got to taste some Moroccan wines that were really good. The sardines were perfectly grilled and the anchovies were great. Highly recommended for a casual lunch or dinner in Casablanca.

I went there specifically to get Oysters. I was encouraged by the excellent reviews, and definitely the restaurant did not miss. My 1st time trying oysters, they were fresh and delicious, the beer was good (could be colder though 😉) and delicious bread, harissa and mayo 👌🏻. The staff were super Friendly and attentive.
