Hidden away on the 4th floor of an average-looking building, this excellent restaurant and its young chef take good food seriously. The small seasonal menu changes regularly, offering modern takes on local classics (which you can watch being whipped up in the open kitchen). A real departure from standard Tunisian or Mediterranean fare, it is highly recommended. There's no alcohol served.
