Welcome to Casbah del Moro

A gastropub in Catania where Morocco meets the world on the plate — and plant-based isn’t the exception, it’s the house specialty.

Open Wednesday–Saturday, 6:00 PM – 11:00 PM · Central Catania, near the historic center

We open at 18:00 — glass already poured, hummus and bites out for aperitivo. Mains start rolling around 19:00, once the kitchen’s warmed up. Good tagine can’t be rushed.

MEET THE CHEF

Chef Badr Benjelloun

He used to be a CTO at multinational tech companies. Then he walked away for the kitchen.
Moroccan, and a lifelong traveler who’s lived out of a suitcase across the globe, Chef Badr brought that same fast-paced mental agility into the kitchen — mixing traditions, spices, and cultures without fear.
Along the way: named Chef of the Year, twice Bartender of the Year in Beijing, winner of the Golden Bear Award, and a two-time finalist at the World Couscous Championship. Trophies he calls just the baggage he brings to the table every night.
“All I ask is that you pull up a chair with an open mind. Welcome to my head. Welcome to the Casbah.”.

THE MENU

A Menu That Never Sits Still

Our menu changes daily, built around what’s fresh at the market and what Chef Badr feels like cooking that day. Expect slow-cooked tagines, ever-changing hummus creations, and small plates built around whatever’s in season.
5-Course Tasting Menu — €35 per person
Cover charge and water included. The easiest way to experience Casbah del Moro: sit back, and let us take you through it.

We also pride ourselves on being VERY Vegan/Veg friendly.

Vegan & Vegetarian? You’re in the Right Place.

Plant-Powered by Heritage & Choice Plant-based dining isn’t a trend here—it’s our foundation. From our roots as a hummus bar to my 16 years living in China, we’ve learned to treat vegetables as the protagonist. Today, over 50% of our menu—including our tasting menu—is available in vegan or vegetarian versions. We don’t do “meat-free” compromises; we use quality tofu, seitan, and tempeh to create bold, protein-rich dishes that stand on their own.
