El Walima
If you're looking for great homemade Tunisian food, this small, gilded restaurant in downtown Tunis is the place to go. Don't be surprised if the owner herself greets you—the warm ambiance is a big part of its charm. The other part is a delicious traditional Tunisian cuisine, beginning with small plates of tapas and moving onto such delights as juicy grilled jumbo shrimp and crisp potatoes, or copious plates of rich fish, chicken or beef tagine and couscous. Dessert and tea, if you can manage, are highly recommended.
