Best French food near Tunis, Tunis Governorate, Tunisia
Reviews on French food in Tunis, Tunis Governorate, Tunisia. Founded by the Berbers in the 2nd millennium BCE, the city of Tunis has been controlled by Phoenicians, Romans, Arab Muslims, the Ottomans, the Spanish, the French and the Germans, finally achieving independence as the capital of Tunisia in 1956. This history has made Tunis a mélange of ancient and modern cultures. The medina is a network of narrow alleyways, mosques, mausoleums, palaces and a souq where shoppers haggle over the price of everything from filigreed gold to inexpensive souvenirs.

This restaurant is in La Goulette, a suburb of Tunis. It is an eclectic place, with a great menu selection and a full service bar. Pizza, veal, seafood, sandwiches...they have it all. Service is fast and friendly.

The location is just besides the Lac de tunis, nice view, good service, yet it lacked of authenticity. It was more of an international cuisine. We tired the bruschettas with cheese and with tapenade. The funniest thing was the salad: you know reminded me of the paella where many leftovers were gathered such as eggs, tuna, parmesan... Luckily the dorade with veggies was good and so was the desserts served in trays. Else nothing to mention.Â

The Lavazza coffee served at L'Entracte was a welcome discovery for New Zealanders craving a 'flat white'! This cafe has not long been open and appears to be a favourite hangout for the young and trendy who prefer the ambiance of the mezzanine floor. The large, modern glass frontage caught our attention from the street and the interior is European cafe scene. The open, working kitchen adds action and interest. You can give your compliments to the chef personally! The menu is a mix of Tunisian and Italian dishes. The menu photos and descriptions make ordering easy. Service is friendly and fast. The best coffee and great cafe food!Bonjour,Soyez le bienvenue, Nous vous remercions pour votre avis .Merci L'équipe L'Entracte Café - Restaurant Tunis

The Cliff offers fine dining in its dining room, terrasse or downstairs bar both overlooking the ocean towards the bay of La Marsa.I have been to this place a number of times; both for lunch and dinner and it has always delivered great food and service.The bar menu offers pizzas, salads and burgers. Pizzas are large and burgers too - both well prepared and served with care and style. Good flavours. Salads are normal in size - adequate satisfy a normal apetite.The fine dining is among the best in the Tunis area. My meat favorite is the cote de boeuf a l'os - a huge piece of meat. Very nice.As for fish dishes, the sardine carpaccio is an innovative dish with interesting flavours - sardines, onion with roasted green bellpeppers and a little lime/lemon touch. Amazing! The merou dish was rich in flavour and perfect in texture. Certainly to be recommended.Among other interesting dishes is the botargue pasta.

The meat was nothing exceptional, we asked « a point » and it was well done. The prices are quite high and the service average.

I am fascinated by ancient palaces in the Medina that have been restored and re-purposed for new fine dining, but am also intrigued by restaurants from the modern era that have stood the test of time. So it is with Chez Nous, established in 1935. It is tough to survive in the restaurant business, so any place, anywhere in the world, that has operated continuously since 1935 gets a big gold star in my book. Having said that, I went with trepidation over concerns that Chez Nous might simply be resting on its laurels, but was pleasantly surprised that the food (and wine) was actually quite good! The place is a bit quirky and the staff is a bit enthusiastic, but it is well worth the visit. Rue de Marseille, or at least the pedestrian-only block of it off Avenue Bourguiba, has clearly seen better days. Just as clearly, those days were in 1935. If you close your eyes to the modern decay on this street, you can still feel like youâre in something of a belle époque. What makes this sensation more complete is Chez Nous itself, which is clearly the only restaurant still standing from those good ole days between the World Wars. When you enter, the noise of the street disappears, and this small, intimate, quiet restaurant envelopes you with its history and classic French cuisine.

We have wanted to try L'Astragale for some time at the recommendation of enthusiastic friends, including several experienced Tunis hands. We were disappointed. This is an old-school French restaurant where the goal appears to be making the customer feel inferior. This might have worked better if the dining room where we were seated didn't reek of mildew. Don't get me wrong, the food was very good. We sampled the St. Pierre, a wonderful fish dinner, chateaubriand and veal tongue, along with a chocolate fondant with vanilla ice cream. Delicious, though the portions are small and the prices, while not exorbitant, are about double what you'll pay at restaurants I liked better in Tunis. Also, the name. What does it mean? We spent some time on the Internet and it's either Anklebone or Fortress.

This is the most popular (and en vogue) restaurant in Tunis now. It serves a French-Italian-Tunisian cuisine. La Closerie's food is delicious, and it's excellent for people watching (particularly of the Tunisian jet-set).

A unique place, vibrant with the jet setters, and an elite of young (and less young) people. The karaoke night is always packed from 10pm (even on weekdays)

After having arrived at the restaurant and having waited for 20 minutes in a little table inside the bar, they told us that they were "out of table" while they were still receiving bookings through phone calls. Unbelievable! They don't respect the order of arrival but prefer favouring staff's friends. Don't go there!
