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.

A good option if you do not want to try the local flavours, and want to navigate in the safety of the known italian food, with some other dishes like omolette or a chicken breast/ steak. The food is average but cheap, and the service is friendly.
8. 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)

Dar Slah is a really charming little restaurant with typical genuine Tunisian food and rapid and efficient service. It is in the old city heart, in the souks, not far from the prime minister offices. His owner is a dedicated restaurant manager with a long experience and more over a passion and love for his role. He daily goes to the market in order to chose himself the premium and highly fresh quality ingrédients and then prepare the menu for his customers.

Chez Slah serves really excellent fresh fish and seafood. It is small and tucked away on Rue Pierre de Coubertin, close to the corner with Rue Mokta Attia. You must reserve in advance if you want a table. They open for dinner at 19.00. Traditional waiters in white shirts and black bow ties will advise on the best fish and seafood available each day. We had excellent brik and sautéed cuttlefish with garlic to start, followed by the best grilled tuna steak I've ever had. Very good with Tunisian white wines like Muscat de Kelibia or Ugni. Best to speak in French (the menu is also in French), but they also speak English. Two starters, two main courses and a bottle of wine cost us about 35 euros (115 dinars at the time). A must when you're in Tunis.

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!

2. 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.
