279 Av. Mohammed V, Rabat, Morocco
Visited in January 2026. Morocco , Rabat We were looking for Spanish cuisine, and this was the only option open for lunch. The restaurant is fairly spacious and decorated in light, neutral tones, creating a relaxed and casual atmosphere. FOOD: This is a Spanish restaurant, and Spanish cuisine is known for its paella — which is exactly what we ordered. We spent some time trying to explain what socarrat is: the crispy rice crust that forms at the bottom of a properly cooked paella. The paella contained a generous amount of seafood, but unfortunately the prawns were not cleaned — neither peeled nor deveined — which made them difficult and unpleasant to eat. The rice had a nice texture overall but was slightly overcooked; it was very close to turning into porridge. That said, the dish was flavorful, with a rich and well-developed broth that carried the dish. SERVICE: As in many places in Morocco, service was a bit slow but friendly. The chef even came out to speak with us regarding our special request for a crispier rice crust — although, in the end, this wasn’t achieved. VERDICT: A decent Spanish restaurant and a solid option in a city where well-executed European cuisine can be hard to find. Prices are slightly above average, but alcohol is available, which is a plus.
Located in the heart of the beautiful city of Rabat, Casa Jose offers an excellent verity of menu and really good food. The Tapas selection is first rate as is the superb Spanish rice dish of paella. The beverage list is comprehensive offering both local and international wines. Overall value is great and is a true reflection of the art of Spanish food. The only minor surprise was the aspect in this day and age was seeing guests smoke at the bar…..clearly the law or the owner has not kept up with modern times! Enjoy
Great food, nice atmosphere. Enjoyed a wonderful meal with friends.
