FOOD & DINING IN TUNISIA
GENERAL
Tunisian food is well prepared and delicious. Tunisian dishes are cooked with olive oil, spiced with aniseed, coriander, cumin, caraway, cinnamon or saffron and flavoured with mint, orange blossom or rose water.
Restaurants catering for tourists tend to serve rather bland dishes and 'international' cuisine, and visitors are advised to try the smaller restaurants. Prices vary enormously, and higher prices do not necessarily mean better meals. Tunis and the main cities also have French, Italian and other international restaurants. Self-service may sometimes be found but table service is more common. Moorish cafes, with their traditional decor, serve excellent Turkish coffee.
Although Tunisia is an Islamic country, alcohol is not prohibited. Tunisia produces a range of excellent table wines, sparkling wines, beers, aperitifs and local liqueurs.
National specialties
• Dorado (bream).
• Couscous.
• Tajine (a fish dish).
• Brik or brik à l'oeuf (egg and a tasty filling fried in an envelope of pastry).
National drinks
• Mint tea with pine nuts.
• Boukha (wine, distilled from figs).
• Thibarine (wine).
Tipping: 10 per cent for all services.
