Casablanca – Restaurant Braise at Radisson Casablanca Gauthier La Citadelle has launched its Ramadan ftour buffet, inviting guests to a sensory journey of flavors and ambiance.
Each evening blends traditional Moroccan cuisine with international influences, live music, and warm hospitality.
The atmosphere inside the restaurant shifts slowly as the call to Maghreb approaches. Lights soften, conversations quiet down, and the final touches are placed on a buffet that feels more like a curated exhibition than a traditional spread.
This Ramadan season unfolds under the theme of travel. The setting draws inspiration from the spirit of a “carnet de voyage,” blending oriental elegance with contemporary refinement.
Warm lighting, textured décor, and carefully arranged tables create an intimate yet vibrant ambiance.
A culinary journey across cultures
The buffet reflects the same spirit of exploration. Moroccan staples anchor the experience while international influences expand the horizon.
At the heart of the experience is Moroccan gastronomy. Harira anchors the table, accompanied by an array of traditional delicacies – from savory bites to an assortment of pastries and classic sweets, with chebakia taking its rightful place among the Ramadan essentials.
Fresh salads and vegetable options provide balance and color, while beloved Moroccan sides like zaalouk add depth and authenticity to the spread.
The journey then moves east toward the Levant. Creamy hommous, smoky moutabel, and rich babaganoush offer a balance of textures and spices, while kunafa adds a sweet, indulgent note to the spread.
Asia represents another stop along the way. A dedicated corner highlights sushi selections alongside Chinese soup, bringing freshness and lightness to the buffet.
This international presence broadens the experience, transforming the ftour into a table that travels well beyond borders.
A welcoming space, attentive service
Beyond the décor and the cuisine, the service reinforces the experience. Staff move attentively between tables, guiding guests through the offerings, replenishing dishes seamlessly, and maintaining a steady, welcoming presence throughout the evening.
The atmosphere strikes a balance: elegant without feeling rigid, lively without becoming overwhelming. Whether for families, friends, or corporate gatherings, the setting adapts naturally to different rhythms of the Ramadan night.
Live music plays throughout the ftour, adding warmth to the space. The melodies blend naturally with conversations and the clinking of plates, becoming part of the overall experience rather than just background sound.
Each evening carries its own rhythm. No two ftours feel exactly the same. The oud, violin, and percussions come together in live performances that evolve throughout the night, blending oriental depth with vibrant energy.
The ambient mood shifts along with the music, giving every ftour its own character and turning each gathering into a journey defined as much by sound as by taste.
For Radisson Casablanca Gauthier La Citadelle, each ftour is more than a meal. Since last year, the hotel has committed to designing this ftour journey as a carefully orchestrated tour of flavors, sounds, and ambiance.
Every night invites guests to explore, savor, and connect. And guests of past editions speak of a one-of-a-kind ftour experience, where every bite, every note of music, and every moment come together to create an unforgettable Ramadan night.
