"You pay for location if dining at this 18th-century ancestral home, at heart of the medina. Generally fine food, served in Andalusian-style courtyard or on balconies (entrées from $25)."
Plan on spending more than 1day here if you want to attempt discovering its full masterpieces and what passed throw #Tunisia from prehistory till now, worth it. +1 for the renovation #Culture #History
"The French built this amazing new-Gothic cathedral in 1882. Large bust of god on the roof. Directly opposite French embassy, built in colonial times as residence of French governor."
Nice spot, nice view, nice seafood, good service. Amazing sea urchins freshly collected by the shore just before serving.
It's really vast and nice there and you can find anything you're looking for in that library :)
“A Tunis institution since 1949. Excellent selection of French books and some lovely coffee-table books on Tunisia in French and English.”
"Buy any fish, get it cleaned for 1-3 Dinars near the stalls, then head for tiny restaurant within the market (tough to find, ask around) that preps the fish & serve w/ fries or salad. Exceptional."
"Built in 1882, the largest surviving building from Tunis' colonial era. Closed most of the times, but open Friday mornings. Free. Not much of interest inside but a nice quiet respite from outside."
"This is the best market of Tunis you can head to, in terms of variety of products & quality. It's best to go early in the morning as fresh produce and fish get sold quickly."
"See an opera, ballet, or other production at the Théâtre municipal de Tunis."
"Wander through Tunis' largest park, Belvedere Park, which houses the Museum of Modern Art and the municipal zoo, and overlooks Lake Tunis."
"A nice area to enjoy coffee on Sunday. The best place to do this is Cafe Sidi Ammara, where you can enjoy a shisha and have a coffee under the trees while observing the action around you."
Nice french cuisine. The portions are too generous, no need to take the starter otherwise u won't finish your dish... I would recommend the tasty magret de canard with pepper sauce! Enjoy
What's better than Ice Cream and Free WIFI at the same time. Beside it's so so so delicious ... !!
Great food and ambiance experience. Whether it's at the restaurant or on the terrace for tea or coffee. A must do in the Medina.
The main and biggest avenue in Tunis and perhaps in the country. A lively place with theaters, traditional and modern shops, pubs, local and international cuisine restaurants and great monuments.
It has a vast interior, and with very beautiful artifacts. Very good for special events.
Leger cheesecake aux coulis de fruits rouges! C'est pas le meilleur mais c'est délicieux
On sunday morning, grab a tea/coffee and a croissant early, before the crowd invasion (around 11) then head down to the weekly flea market!
Un lieu ou vous pouvez rester en famille tous au long de la journee meme la nuit en toute securite
“Built in 1630 by Sidi Youssef, this is one of the Medina’s most colorful rows of shops, offering carpets, clothes and souvenirs. One shop has a terrace that provides a view of the Medina.”
“Has traded in perfumes, incense, henna, candles and herbs since the 13th century.”
“Built in 18th century as residential Islamic schools. The second, Bachom, has a small fountain with miniature pools that are always full of water.”
“With its miniature garden (a kind of verandah) and a more expensive restaurant on the first floor, overlooking part of the Great Mosque). Enjoy traditional Tunisian music, a cup of tea, and hookah.”
“The oldest cafe in the médina, hidden in a corner of the old chechia (felt hat) makers, now being overtaken by souvenirs. Ppl sit on benches and chairs around painted tables to sip, smoke, gossip.”
“Adjacent to theater. Large terrace, meeting place for arts and theater people. Women can come alone & feel at ease. No booze, but snacks, pastries, ice creams. Smoky atmosphere.”
“Brasserie is large open room, and an even bigger terrace. One of most popular meeting places in town. Breakfast, sweets, sandwiches served w/ large drinks menu, including beer, cocktails.”
“Pleasant, trendy ‘tea salon’ and lunch restaurant serving pasta, pizza, sandwiches + daily menu + sweets, hot drinks, juices. Younger decor and music.”
“Huge outdoor terrace serves drinks, juices, Tunisian-style sandwiches (mention if you don’t want harissa), great crusty pizzas sold by weight and great French pastries. Eat there or take-away.”
“Another one on Rue de Yugoslavia in city. Homemade ice cream + specialty “cannelloni”: thin crispy pancake filled with ricotta and cream with pistachios on top.”
“Simple but excellent eatery attracts locals and tourists, traditional Sfaxienne cuisine. Traditional Tunisian decor. Fish soup and couscous with fish strongly recommended.”
Couscous au Osben excellent. .cadre agréable et bon service. Prix abordable: 17dt le menu viande (assortiment d'entrées+ plat au choix(couscous 3alouch ou kammounia..) + Thé et makroudh).Bonne adresse
tartine aux saumon fumé is DA BOMB !! crêpe aux caramel et au beurre salé is so gud !! loved the space and the ambiance !
“Built b/w 1912-22. Extravaganza of Arabian-Modernist design, filled w/ virtuoso carving, marble work, restored furniture. Amazing collection of instruments/gramophones.”
“Beautiful vaulted space behind grand wooden door on the central square. One of Tunisia’s most respected commercial galleries with a small but impressive stable of contemporary Mahgrebi artists.”
“Stylishly reimagined traditional glass pendant light fittings, gorgeous linen, and a sweet earthy range of baby clothes, toys, bedding and furniture.”
Great venue, good food. Busy almost every day of the week. You have to put up with some slightly below par Waiters but I guess that's never unusual in Tunisia. But it's a place to have a fun dinner
