Le Boeuf sur le Toit

Tunis


Out in the suburb of La Soukra, 'the bull on the roof' is a restaurant with three main spaces: one hosts live acts, one is dedicated to dancing, and the third is a terrace bar and lounge. All serve food. It hosts regular DJs and live gigs. The name references a surrealist ballet.
