Top 6 Middle Eastern food in Tunis, Tunis Governorate, Tunisia

July 18, 2020 Rebbecca Marino

Find out what Middle Eastern restaurants to try in Tunis. 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.

Layal

Reviewed By Karim_Bennis

This restaurant offers lebanon and morrocan diches. As the owner used to live in morocco, it was amazing to taste some morrocan food in tunis. Try to have differents tapas instead of a plate. And don't miss the famous dessert :-)

Mezza Maison Lebanese Cuisine

Traditional lebanese food

Reviewed By Elieabouaoun

By all means this is a restaurant that stands out as an excellent mediterranean/lebanese one in Tunis. Spacious and welcoming, the staff shows extreme friendliness. The food is great, in all cases the closest to the Lebanese cuisine when not the ingredients are available in country. Definitely a great destination

El Abed

Reviewed By Tarak61

El Abed, a family owned restaurant on Souk Essaragine, near the Kasbah in the médina of Tunis was a place where civil servants and médina merchants came for a quick lunch time fix of grilled lamb cutlets or fish. The service was energetic, the couscous on Friday a delight. A couple of years ago, the place was tarted up - A/C was added in the vaulted main dining area. The quality is still excellent - though prices have gone up.

Sultan Ahmet

Reviewed By YasmineNassar

Great welcome, live oud music, nice candle lit chandeliers on the tables, varied menu with a multitude of cuisine options, excellent prompt service, exquisite food. We ordered couscous with lamb (huge portion), and Brik with tuna. They served us a complimentary starter of olives, green salad, and harissa with a bread basket, complimentary lentil soup, and complimentary tea with mint to top off our excellent meal. We couldn’t finish our main dish and packed the rest to go. When the server knew we were egyptian, he got a small egyptian flag and put it on our table along with a Tunisian flag to welcome us :) definitely not our last time!

Fondouk El Attarine

Reviewed By Bauck

Before visiting, locals had already told me that Fondouk El Attarine is THE most authentic traditional food experience in Tunis.Getting there already takes you through the bustling Medina. The restaurant itself is a renovated guesthouse which for centuries used to host visiting traders. The main area is in the inner courtyard, the kind of which you find in most buildings in the Medina.Most items on the menu are Tunisian classics, such as lamb soup, brik (pastry with tuna), and various couscous dishes. Probably very similar to what has been served there throughout the centuries. The atmosphere is easy and unpretentious, waiters are very attentive, and the service is fast. This is one place to have one the checklist when exploring Tunis, and definitely one worth coming back to.

Dar El Jeld

Reviewed By 327petterw

It probably is but not saying much. If this was in NYC would not last a year. Nice room, good service but food very mediocre. If you must go order the roasted lamb. Bonsoir, nous sommes désolés que notre cuisine vous ait déçu, si vous pouviez nous en dire davantage pour corriger et améliorer le rôti d'agneau. Merci d'avance
