Sousse Restaurants

Ambient is local (so, read *special*). Impossible to picture it with words or ordinary photo (and I am amateur with photographing so I skipped this try).

Food is very good and in local style!

I got in there as it was Ramadan time and at daytime local men were not eating. Otherwise I suppose I'd skip it as I always feel uncomfprtable if in a certain place there are only *eyes and moustaches* staring at me! :)))

Favorite Dish: I choose some light stuff with *Tunisian* written on the menu ;)
If you do the same you won't regret it!

We made our way through the medina and went for lunch at Dodo, a restaurant near the southern gates. It wasn't the best meal we had in Tunisia and we didn't get the usual harissa, olives, etc that you get in almost all Tunisian restaurants. We both had pizza which was a nice change after having cous-cous every day for a week.

We arrived in Sousse after a long day which had started in Kairouan and had included El Jem. It was also my birthday that day so we planned to take it easy that evening. For dinner, we picked the restaurant beside our hotel, La Caleche, which had been recommended in the guidebook.

The food was very nice but it took forever to get served. And it's not like they were too busy, The waiters seemed to enjoy polishing glasses even after we had asked for a bill or more wine or anything. It made me a little angry. Not what we wanted on my birthday especially after such a long and busy day!

This restaurant was one out of three that was recommended in this area (along with L'Albatros and L'escargot).
Tiptop had a nice ambience to it, with white brick walls that was decorated with a lot of traditional and modern artifacts.
The restaurant was also nice and clean.
After ordering, the waiters made sure you did'nt "starve". They gave us nice apetizers like bread and butter with garlic, olives and salads.
The portions of food was humongous (especially the couscous), and the staff very friendly. Especially they enjoyed having fun with my 7 year old son.
After dinner, the guests always had a small ice cream (lemon sorbet) and some the. Kids had some extra, like a bigger ice cream.
Tiptop lived up to its name for sure, I can highly recommend it!

Favorite Dish: Couscous with lamb!

Might be so tasty because of the sweet couscousgrains, the garlic and the onion, I really don't know!

best cafe in port el kantaoui delicious breakfast and fruit juices.filled panini and chips at lunch.seats inside or on terrace overlooking port,music playing and the staff friendly and entertaining,they will remember you on a return visit.

Favorite Dish: panini-because lots of filling and always hot

This is the entrance to the restaurant Neptune V1. Its really well set up to attract the tourists, you enter through a large sharks head and figures of piarats stand guard, as you can see it does get busy so get there early or if possible book up the day before

This restaurant is wonderful and because its sett on a boat its a little different. Its not actually in Souse but just down the coast in the pritty town of El Kantaoui. This place has a fantastic marina with chique expensive yachtes. The restaurant serves traditional tunisian meals as well as fabulous fresh fish.

The Golf Brau is part of the Golf Residence hotel.

It sells very good German white beer (weissbier) and dark beer (schwarzbier).

As for the food, I wasn't brave enough to try anything more adventurous than pizza and ice-cream, but their speciality appeared to be ostrich.

The staff are very friendly and the background music is usually provided by an Italian music channel on the TV screens.
