Le Grand Café de la Poste

The experience

Built in 1925 during the French protectorate as Guéliz's postal sorting office and café — reputedly the first structure in the new district — and later owned by Pasha Glaoui, who kept the café and added a hotel. Héléna Paraboschi and Pierre Pirajean, the pair behind Bô-Zin, took it on in 2005 and left the period fittings alone: wooden staircase, ceiling fans, verandah and misted terrace. The kitchen is Franco-Moroccan, from oysters and steak tartare to duck foie with pear confit, and it serves until 1am nightly.

Guéliz's 1925 post office, still trading as a brasserie that pours until one in the morning.
