Opening for breakfast, lunch and dinner, Casablanca is the premier dining venue at the impressive Villa Maroc in Pranburi, around 20 minutes drive south of Hua Hin. Genuine Moroccan dishes were introduced by an Arabic chef, who has since departed, but his knowledge has been passed on to the kitchen team. Thai and international dishes are also available however, if thick rich lamb curry stews and zesty dips with fresh pita bread are not your choice of the day.
