Shahhat, another chicken restaurant

by sachara

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.

Al Bayda, chicken restaurant

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.

Sabratha, restaurant close to the ancient site

by sachara

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.

All Libyan restaurants!: Which soup?

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,...

For lunch and dinner daily: Libyan Soup

by grets

Obviously very proud of their culinary heritage, the restaurants all served their favourite Libyan soup as starters. Nearly every single lunch or dinner began with the Libyan version of Minestroni soup. Some were very nice, some rather mediocre, but even the best ones became rather tedious after the first eight!

Al-Makulaat al-Lubnaniya: Lebanese in Libya

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. MEZZE !!!!!

Mat'am al -Asddaf: Seafood in 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..........

The lebanese, and others: One of my favorites in Tripoli...

by JohnMG

One of my favorites in Tripoli is the Lebanese restraurant behind the Al-Kebir hotel on the sea front. Its authentic Lebanese giving good, quick, reasonably-priced food. I also find out-of-city-centre more interesting; try on Gargaresh Road, a good area for a stroll before dinner and its only a few kilometers west of the city centre (short taxi ride). Dendshi is a must. fish; lamb, pigeon, local specialities
