Quick answerUpdated Reviewed by eTunisie editors (Tunis)

Tunisia's restaurant scene runs from medina courtyards serving slow-cooked tajine, koucha and Tunisian couscous to coastal seafood houses, modern Tunisian kitchens in Tunis and clifftop terraces in Sidi Bou Said. Expect to pay 30–60 TND (€9–€18) for a meal at a good local restaurant; fine dining sits at 90–180 TND (€27–€55).

  • Tunis & Sidi Bou Said hold the densest cluster of standout restaurants.
  • Coastal towns (La Marsa, Hammamet, Mahdia) excel at seafood and grilled fish.
  • Couscous, brik, tajine, ojja, lablabi and slata mechouia are the dishes to seek out.
  • Tipping is appreciated but not mandatory — round up or add 5–10%.
