 Yum! by TheWanderingCamel No matter where you eat in Libya, you can be sure the first thing on the menu will be soup! Always Libyan soup, maybe Moroccan soup, fish soup, lentil soup, vegetable soup ..... that's about the complete list - though one place I went to had a variation - prawn soup! It didn't worry me - I love soup and it was winter. The best I had was a vegetable soup at the Moroccan restaurant on the top floor of the Corinthia Hotel - probably the best vegetable soup I've ever tasted ( for the cooks amongst us - I'd say they made a really good vegetable stock, reduced and strained it to a clear intense broth and then added beautifully trimmed vegetables in tiny dice and sprigs and cooked them to a perfect al dente - it was fabulous!), but a bowl of lentil soup and a sandwich at the Badawen Restaurant (Lebanese) around the back of the Kabir Hotel made for an excellent lunch at 3LD for the soup, sandwiches (cheese and meat filled) and a Coke.

 Tripoli by conny_bazen This was for me the best restaurant in Libya and it's wasn't one with a Libyan kitschen. This Lebanese restaurant has great mezze and that is what I really love. Also the soup is good and the mixed grill is great. At the end they bring you a nice glass of mint-tea. The prices are around 15 LD, a soft-drink included.

 Benghazi by conny_bazen Not a very cosy place but the seafood is great. They bring you first the hummus-dip with the bread and the salad, after that a fish-soup. Then you can taste a few different fish. Don't eat to much from everything because every time that you think it will be the last fish they bring you a new one !! The price is very reasonable: less than 20 LD
The best hummusdip in the country if you ask me..........

From Tripoli we visited the ancient site Sabratha during a trip of a whole day. At luch time we visited the restaurant just outside the entrance at the right hand side. We enjoyed the shady and green garden after the burning sun at the site. At the end of the day we came back for a drink before we went back to Tripoli by bus. You can sit in the garden under the roofs, but also close to the restaurant building under the wide porch.
For lunch we took sandwiches kebab and fish. We tried the miranda ananas softdrinks and a red-coloured bittersoda.

The first evening we walked into the medina of Tripoli and found this lovely restaurant at the lifely square of the clocktower or Essaa tower. Outdoors at the terrace you can drink your tea or coffee or smoke the waterpipe. The interior of the restaurant has warm red and yellow colours. We had our dinner at the first floor with a splendid view at the square. Two musicians were playing oriental life-music just close to our table. The friendly waitors told us they came originally from Morocco. It was a rather popular place with many visitors, a mixture of locals and tourists.
The restaurant serves fresh seafood and varied Libyan dishes. We took a delicious soup, salad, hummus, mixed meat and fish.

In the old city of Tripoli is a restaurant at an absolutily stunning location, just beside the Marcus Aurelius Arch. You can enter the restaurant at the lower floor by walking through the arch first. When I visited the arch during daytime, I took the chance to look around in the restaurant and its terrace as well. Unfortunatily I had not enough time in Tripoli to eat here myself.
Though I didnīt eat here, I had a look at the menu and saw a big choice in Libyan dishes like tagines and couscous with meat or fish, soups, salads and desserts. Fellowtravellers who had here their dinner told me it was of good quality.

by sachara in Al Bayda we took our dinner two times in the same chicken restaurant at the main shopping street. There are a lot of chickenrestaurants all over Libya, but I don't know the names, because I don't read arabic. This one in Al Bayda was frequented by local people. The food was good and cheap, the staff was friendly and very fast in bringing the food.
We ordered couscous and chicken, but they brought us nice soup and salad as well and many glasses of tea after dinner. And all for a very cheap price.

We arrived at Ptolemais around lunchtime. At the entrance of the ancient site under the shady trees were a lot of tables with benches and stairs all over the place. It was crowded with tourist busses. So all tables under the trees and in the restaurants were full. We ordered our lunch and went into the museum first for half an hour.
We had a tasty lunch with Libyan soup, couscous with vegetables, chicken and fish. As dessert we had dates and coffee. Leave a Comment Theme: LocalPrice: less than US$10 » Currency ConverterComparison: about averageAddress: Potlemais

 Cyrene, restaurant close to the ancient site by sachara After visiting the ancient sites of Cyrene we visited one of the restaurants close to the entrance. From here we had a marvellous view at the site. During lunchtime it was rather crowded with toursit busses, but at the end of the afternoon we had the place almost for us alone.
We didn't have a meal here, but we drunk a coffee, cappucino and tea. Leave a Comment Theme: LocalAddress: CyreneDirections: A few metres from the entrance and the shops

When we arrived at the ancient site of Cyrene at lunchtime all the restaurants at the entrance were totally full. So we decided to head to the nearby town Shahhat. We stopped at one of the first restaurant we saw opposite the mosque. There were hardly any visitors, so we didn't need to wait very long for our meal. It was a chicken restauarant, not the first and not the last during our trip.
The chicken with salad was very tasty. We tried another selection of softdrinks. Leave a Comment Theme: LocalPrice: less than US$10 » Currency ConverterComparison: least expensiveAddress: ShahhatDirections: Along the road coming from Cyrene. I got a business card, but I can't read the arabic.
