Dar El Jeld
Dar El Jeld
Dar El Jeld (5 rue Dar El Jeld, La Kasbah, Tunis) — this restaurant is a veritable museum of beautiful tiled walls, ornate wrought iron railings and a fine collection of Ottoman carpets rolled out across the floors, all echoing the regal ambience of the original 18th century mansion, which was transformed into a restaurant in 1987. Elegant tables await some of the best traditional food in Tunis, including the customary bricks and a host of other copious hors d’oeuvres, succulent grilled kebabs, whole grilled fish, and fish or lamb couscous. All food is accompanied by the sound of time-honored music enhancing the authentic ambiance of old Tunis. Situated near the Kasbah and among the souks, Dar El Jeld also sells leather babouches, organic Tunisian oil and many other folkloric types of merchandise.
