Since 1954, this family-run institution, emblematic of Moroccan patisserie, has been delighting palates in Casablanca. Founded by Mohamed Serraj, whose passion for food was awakened as a child by the cooking pots of his mother, an excellent cook. His home in the neighborhood was the starting point for this pastry success. The next generation brought an innovative spirit and boundless creativity, giving a contemporary twist to traditional Moroccan and French pastries. To preserve the authenticity of its traditional cakes, Maison Serraj favors the finest Moroccan ingredients: organic almonds and wheat, pure honey, dried fruits and the finest orange blossoms. Each cake is handmade.

Aya Belkahia, who has had a passion for cooking and pastry-making since childhood, has created this warm and welcoming tea room. After training with some of France's top chefs, she now offers fine, delicious pastries. The concept of this patisserie is to demystify the idea that a cake has to be too sweet or rich in cream. The emphasis here is on good products, with a mastery of artisanal patisserie. Few but good, that's Aya's motto. La Madeleine de Proust offers a variety of modern pastries, but the Russian cake, Aya’s own personal favorite, is not to be missed. A succession of Dacquoise biscuit discs, a Piedmont hazelnut & fleur de sel crème papillote; a true delicacy. A must for pastry lovers.
