The Western Cafe with Marvelous Accent. The most recent outlet to grace One Bangsar,Rick’s Café Casablanca is simply the perfect spot to indulge your appetite for Moroccan influenced western cuisine.
This cafe’s name was inspired by the movie, Casablanca…
Wikipedia describes Rick Blaine (Humphrey Bogart) as a bitter, cynical American expatriate in Casablanca. He owns and runs “Rick’s Café Américain”, an upscale nightclub and gambling den that attracts a mixed clientèle of Vichy French and Nazi officials, refugees and thieves. Although Rick professes to be neutral in all matters, it is later revealed that he had run guns to Ethiopia to combat the 1935 Italian invasion, and fought on the Republican side in the Spanish Civil War against Francisco Franco’s Nationalists.

Had a valentine dinner there. The place is only less than half occupied (in fact, the entire Bangsar One is not crowded at all) with 3 segment: outdoor with canopy, indoor and upstair. The ambience is cozy with soft music, just nice but nothing fantastic.

Our valentine meal cosist of bread stick with salt cod puree (ok), smoked salmon (very good), cappuccino mushroom (very good), lime sobet (ok), sampler of moroccan dishes (not very satisfying), chocolate lava cake (good). Too bad the moroccan main dish isn’t good enough.
The experience is about RM300++, with decent-to-good food and good service, and cozy environment. I still think it is a bit pricy as compared to the satisfaction level I am getting. Perhaps there is a better bargain somewhere else :) Until next time then
