Essaa: dinner in the old town of Tripoli

by sachara

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.

All of the resto's i visited: Libya - not a culinary highlight

by Luchonda

Eating in Libya, definately not a culinary tripDaily, sometimes twice - A so called "Libyan soup" (Spicy tomatosoup with local vegtables)- Bread in different tastes- Water 'a volonté' and a soft drink for free. NA drinks to be paid (Becks beer 2LD)- An entrance of local vegtables- Most of the time Couscous with chicken, fresh fish, lamb or camel meat- Mint tea

Wejda Restaurant: Excellent place to dine in style

by hungryman

We heard about this place from a friend of ours who had eaten here and gave rave reviews about it being probably one of the best restaurants in tripoli. so we decided to try it for ourselves. We called and made reservations and that was quite easy and i was surprised to find courteous people answering the phone and taking my reservation in a polite and professional way. The location is at the reggata village which is very clean area in tripoli and alot of expats live there as well. The restaurant was quite impressive from the outside. We were greeted by a well dressed man who courteously opened the doors of our car and showed us inside. The restaurant was quite oppulant and very tastefully decorated and furnished. You could tell that it was a fine dining restaurant by the professionalism of the staff and stunning decor. We ordered the Harira soup which was delicious and followed it up...

Moroccan place was best: 4 restaurants in the Corinthian

by emmet7

the Morocco restaurant was on top floor with all Fez style interior and good tagine and couscous, nice breads, best in the hotelthe Italian place in the mezzanine was edible but not overly appetisingthe Oriental downstairs was nothing specialthe morning breakfast buffet has a huge selection but despite that, no particularly tasty dishes the fish tagine was damn good; as was the fresh strawberry juice in Morocco restaurant

As-Soraya: Best Buy in Tripoli

by New_Mex_Man

This restaurant is right on Green Square. It is Lebanese, and the owner, Nikolas, is very nice and gracious. The food is traditional Middle Eastern, with a Lebanese flair. The salads, the kabab, the pizza are all wonderful. It is not traditional Libyan. But for good food, well-served, and reasonably priced, it is unbeatable in Tripoli.

Tripoli, restaurant at the Marc Aurelius Arch

by sachara

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 didn´t 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.

Benghazi, chicken or chicken ?

by sachara

The last night in Benghazi before we had to leave for the airport we ordered our dinner in a local chicken restaurant in the citycentre. Before dinner was served we could have our last walk in the citycentre. Like most of the bars and restaurants along this street there were no toilets. So like earlier in the afternoon I had to go to a hotel two blocks in the direction of the seaside for that. We had huge portions of everything, half a chicken for each person, huge salads, a lot of bread. Though it was not my first chicken during this trip, it tasted very well.

Restaurant en route from Benghazi to Jalu

by sachara

Before we took the road into the desert from the coastal road we had our last stop at a restaurant. It was far before lunchtime, so we had only a drink and a toilet stop. We also bought the last snacks and drinks for in the bus. The restaurant has a nice and shady ambiance. We didn´t have a meal here, but saw a lot of livestock like chickens, doves and even a young camel. So if they are supposed to be for the kitchen, the food will be very fresh.

Ptolemais, lunch at the site

by sachara

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.

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.
