A handy place to eat when exploring the Casbah district, this cheap locals favourite serves traditional home cooking that can be hard to find elsewhere. Try the grilled sardines, various kebabs and, if you're feeling game, the sheep brain in a tomato sauce. Wash it all down with the delicious homemade lime juice. Before 10am only coffee and breakfast is served.
