Dar El Jeld

Top choice in Tunis


Pass through the bee-yellow front door in this 18th-century mansion and a magnificent courtyard dining space will be theatrically revealed. Start with the mixed appetiser plate (delicious!) and then consider ordering a local speciality such as sebnekhia (octopus with beans and spinach), kabkabou (fish and tomato stew) or lahma m'jamra (stuffed lamb shoulder). At dinner, there's live oud music. Bookings essential.
