Fast and friendly, this is a recommended venue to taste the local dishes (like goat meat!) at very reasonable prices. They also have a good selection of fish. The restaurant lies right on the water and offers its guests a beautiful sea view to accompany their meal.
Dining
The food in Monastir and Tunisia is largely based on olive oil and spices. The national dish is the famous Berber couscous: durum wheat steamed and soaked in a sauce. It can be made with vegetables, fish, fresh or dried octopus, beef, veal and lamb. You will find plenty of good restaurants in the old town and the marina.
