Dar Slah

Tunis


A welcoming bolt-hole on the medina's busiest thoroughfare, this restaurant in an old house is operated by the city's most prominent family of restaurateurs and is beloved by both locals and tourists. The daily-changing two-course menu (entrée and main) features Tunis-style home-cooked dishes that rely on fresh and often unusual seasonal ingredients. No alcohol is served.
