About

Casablanca Cafe opens daily at 11 am, but on weekends you can grab breakfast from 8:30 am. This Fort Lauderdale Beach spot serves American seafood with an ocean view, perfect for a date or a relaxed lunch. The piano bar adds a touch of sophistication, and the crowd runs about 30% gay, making it a natural fit for visitors staying near the guesthouse area.

Weekend brunch draws a lively mix, and the late afternoon sun hits the patio just right. It's a solid choice if you want good food and a scenic backdrop without a fully gay-focused vibe. For a more explicitly LGBTQ-friendly option nearby, check out Rosie's Bar & Grill .

“Good choice for lunch”

Great service even during a packed holiday weekend. The food tasted good and was plated well. The crowd was about 30% gay. Plenty of attractive people passing by to and from the beach. It's one of the few spots with late afternoon sun and a nice beach view.

I really enjoy coming here for lunch, typically with a fantastic ocean view. I'm not sure if it's still offered, but management used to have a 2-for-1 lunch special during the off-season. Lobster roll, flavored teas, and more! Friendly service, good for brunch, great for a date, nice atmosphere.
