The best restaurants Tunis

Located in a traditional house, it is one of the tables in sight of the capital. Dar El Jeld, located in the hotel of the same name, offers all the flavors of traditional cuisine. It is essential to reserve. It is true that the typical decor is worth the detour and the service is very professional. The sublime rooftop offers a breathtaking view of the medina. Single menu at 140 DT during Ramadan. The owners also run Fondouk el Attarine, in the souk of the same name. The setting is also beautiful: an old caravanserai.

As the name of this restaurant indicates, you are in couscous heaven! The recipes are multiple and there is really something for everyone, including vegetarians. It is in fact a couscous bar with a choice of 5 different grains and vegetables at will, 4 kinds of dumplings, also appreciated by Tunisians. We also prepare the famous fish couscous and lamb couscous and daily dishes. The restoration is done on the spot, and option to take away. A delight and moreover the reception by Gerard is very warm.

Salads, couscous, grilled meat, fish. A typical house with a long history in the heart of the village. On a white and blue terrace, one sits on stone benches covered with mats, leaning against a small wobbly table, to taste a traditional cuisine. The plates are decent, without glitter, the service pleasant and the cleanliness correct. It is especially the atmosphere and the folklore which make the main attraction of the place. The view on the dome of the mausoleum of Sidi Aziz is appreciable. The place also makes good artisanal ice creams in summer.

A little off-center a few kilometers from the center of the capital, in an enchanting decor made of ponds and fountains, Le Boeuf sur le Toit offers you a Tunisian cuisine through 3 spaces: the Boeuffy with live concerts every night, the Grand Boeuf with oriental evenings animated by Tunisian celebrities or a DJ; the Gardens of the Boeuf, a restaurant around the ponds and fountains! Some say that the quality has dropped lately, but the menu remains elaborate and the service efficient.

It is in a very pleasant atmosphere that pasta enthusiasts, roasted meat, or cheesecake find their happiness. The place wants to be glamorous and hype, and the decay changes every year. This is one of the dates of the golden youth of Tunis.

When you enter this restaurant, you have the impression of arriving in a palace of the Thousand and One Nights. And for good reason, it is an authentic palace that has been restored to accommodate this restaurant. In the plates parade classic Tunisian specialties but well prepared. But one comes here above all for the fascinating setting and the small private guided tour of the salons on the floor (free) for those who wish it at the end of the meal. The address is particularly popular among Tunisians during Ramadan for breaking the fast

Mediterranean and Tunisian cuisine and seafood specialties. Behind a bushy garden facing the port, hidden by palm trees, Le Pirate is quite well known in the region for its location at the foot of Sidi Bou Said and for the charm of its decor. White beams and fireplace for the winter days, terrace with sea view for the summer days. The menu, renewed regularly, offers refined dishes, such as octopus flavored with tarragon or carpaccio of grouper with green bell pepper. A place where one always spends a beautiful moment.

After living in France, the owner returned to his native country to make a dream come true. One comes to this house for the unique setting: both sober and refined, between interior garden and breathtaking view. And above all, you can enjoy delicious food! You will find here specialties such as kabkabou, fish stew with capers and candied lemon, monkfish blanquette with saffron pistil, stuffed squid or couscous with spicy grouper... Good value for money and impeccable welcome!

In this luxury establishment with a refined and relaxing decor, you feel good, and you eat rather well. The furniture, chosen with taste, matches perfectly with the splendid view, the service is irreproachable. You can taste a fillet of beef with black mushrooms for example, a chicken with dried apricots or pasta with grouper. The address is worth remembering, even for a drink: a lounge has been created, ideal for relaxing at the end of the day. Nice wine list. Finally, the service is very professional, we appreciate it!

This touristic and cultural complex, located practically on the site of the ruins and museum, presents a modern Roman style architecture. It includes a contemporary art centre, a stage, numerous splectacles, craft shops, terraces, a swimming pool and several restaurants and snacks. It is often here that tourist groups come to lunch.

In the room, located on the floor, a varied kitchen is offered: couscous, Tunisian salad, home bricks (delicious). The wines are reasonable. Every evening from 22 h, a show of oriental music animates the scene.

They are the same owners as in Tunis (Pizza Sprint), the same (good) quality and the same (correct) rates.
