Le Doge Café review: our verdict
Art Deco isn't a theme at Le Doge; it's the entire house: neo-retro lines, period details, and sometimes a hostess in a golden caftan to welcome you. The hotel's restaurant climbs up to the rooftop, where the menu plays Mediterranean and grilled dishes with more delicacy than one expects from a meat-focused menu.
The service is brisk, smiling, never jaded despite the crowds, and it welcomes both a late-arriving couple and a group of four equally well. You come here for a dinner for two that must have style, a final drink with a view, or to show Casablanca at its best to a passerby. A poor choice for a quick bite or a noisy large group: here, you take your time.
Dish to order: the beef rib to share, rare if you like it. Good time slot: the end of the evening, as the house stays open until midnight and a half every day. The trap: coming on a weekend without having booked your table on the roof.
