10. La Closerie
Overall Ratings
4 based on 310 reviews
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)

Have been to this restaurant 3x over the last two years. Food is excellent displayed on a chalkboard menu brought to your table. Wine list is very good too. Bohemian expat feel to the place.

I had dinner here with my family in May 2014, because I remembered the cosy and welcoming garden that I had seen a few times. Well, the food was really bad unfortunately. The sauce on the paste was probably ketchup. The bruschetta they served was really disappointing, too. I wouldn't recommend this restaurant to anyone.
6. Yabon

Yabon is an institution in La Marsa, Tunisia. It serves only lunch and the place is usually packed. The meals are all based on grilled fish with different sides to chose from: tunisian red-sauce spaghetti, tastira or grilled pepper puree with egg, french fries, djerbian rice. The fish is seasoned with cumin and other fantastic spices. You may have to share your table, but it is all in great atmosphere and you're well attended. This place is mainly if not solely frequented by people who know about it and regular customers. It is great if you want a taste of simple and real Tunisian fish food for a fair price.

New and old style combined together. Our aim is to provide the nicest food possible with variety every week. Our famous blackboards change everyday, so you will never be bored of our menu.

Welcoming staff, great views and a citron sorbet that is simply refreshing. Ignore the ground level restaurants and climb the stairway, past images of past eminent diners, to simply relax. A menu that combines French and Tunisian cuisine for the enjoyment of food. Do take time to look at the photos of previous diners on the wall e.g. Sen. John McCain and Claudia Cardinale.

Great place to see a tethered camel and to eat well in a place filled with hustle and bustle. Good value for money and straightforward Tunisian food

Situe sur la plage de Sidi Abdelaziz a La Marsa, le restaurant Le Golfe vous accueille depuis plus de 50 ans de midi a minuit en service continu.
Reviewed By dianasdl
The place was recommended by a friend.Itâs a fine dining experience, I enjoyed the atmosphere and the location, the lighting was just right - romantic and calm - and the inside very nicely decorated. They have nice seafood dishes - especially the lobster with spaghetti is very yummy! However, they donât speak much English although itâs a touristic place and the Menu itâs only in French. When asking for explanations of the dishes the waiter got very frustrated and couldnât provide us any guidance and seemed very annoyed. Not nice Cocktails not so good, but the wine Yes. WiFi was provided, the younger staff was more accommodating than the older waiters who just seem to be easily annoyed by everything from customers. Customer service overall was ok, but can improve much more for such a fine restaurant.Itâs recommended to book in advance as it was quite full even on a Tuesday evening.Parking was not provided.They have also a boutique inside the restaurant that is very nice, quite pricy though ...

Imagined on the concept of a couscous bar : 5 varieties of semolinas couscous : white, whole wheat, spicy, red or ferficha couscous, vegetables à volonté. Choice between boulettes of fish, meat or chicken, and vegetarian balls. Also Lamb or Fish couscous.
Reviewed By Feras S
I've had couscous in several restaurants in Tunis, which are all very nice, but what's special about this place is that the couscous is home made and well crafted, and of many varieties, you can get brown, white, and normal red couscous, not to mention the toppings, my favorite is Couscous Dorade "The gilt-head bream". The quantity is very generous and the taste is superb. TIP: don't forget to order their butter milk "L'ban".
