Restaurant Sfax — Restaurant in Tunis

We hadn't eaten since breakfast after leaving our hotel in Yasmine Hammamet and headed to Tunis for an overnight stay at a nearby hotel.

We found Restaurant Sfax / Takeaway on a side street as we left our hotel to go out for the evening.

The menu prices were amazing at just over the equivalent of £4 GBP for lamb chops/cutlet served with chips and salad.

There were several tables inside to sit down and eat. There were several local people eating too, so we took a chance.

Service was very quick and suddenly a huge basket of bread appeared, speedily followed by a kind of bean broth and a plate of pasta in a tomato sauce base. These were announced as 🆓.

The food we ordered was plentiful and very tasty.

An unusual cut of lamb from what we would usually expect but well cooked, leaving a little pinkness - just as we like it.

A bottle of water too.

Highly recommended for the...

I made a special trip to try Restaurant Sfax after seeing the fine reviews, arriving before 6 PM, well before their stated closing time of 9 PM. However, when I got there, a waiter told me the restaurant was closed, even though someone was already eating inside. There was no notice on the door or any updates online, and the staff didn’t provide a clear explanation. The poor communication was frustrating and unprofessional. I won’t be attempting to visit again...

Greatest choice for local food, local restaurant, local experience ☺️! Not your touristic restaurant but where they come to eat! Food was cooked so well, meat extremely juicy, tender and flavourful ✨ Had probably the best couscous ever 🤤 and portions are enormous and really affordable!! 🤑 You won't regret 😜 trust meee! But don't trust the timetable and go there to check if it's open cause it's not accurate on google 👀 ... Tip: get the lamb...
