Locals in the know and homesick Tunisians flock to this bustling, handsomely tiled restaurant, named for the main port of Tunis. A couscous maison of vegetables, brochettes (skewers), côtelettes d'agneau (lamb chops), merguez (sausage) and kefta (meatballs) will cost you just €9. It's best followed with sweet mint tea and a pastry from the bounty in the window.
