5 Worth Visit Restaurants In Djerba

If you’re looking for a place that sums up island living, it’s Djerba. Just five kilometers off Tunisia’s southern coast, this peninsula’s gently sloping sandy beaches and perfect climate has made it a popular stop for travelers. The idyllic villages and scenery make delving deeper into Tunisian culture a delight, and it’s a profound pleasure to discover the many restaurants with their mostly seafood traditional dishes.

* Le Petit Marin

Le Petit Marin is hard to find but definitely worth the effort. Not many restaurants are located on an abandoned beach and this one is definitely recommended. While dining at wooden tables shaded by softly waving curtains only a few meters from the azure blue ocean, Le Petit Marin gives you the feel of a small, improvised and way cheaper Club Med. The service is impeccable and the view is simply phenomenal.

* Dar Hassine

In Djerba’s capital Houmt Souk you’ll find an oasis of white and blue in Dar Hassine. A former traditional houchor Tunisian home, this restaurant serves the best couscous and the crispiest grilled fish on the island. For subtle tastes, culinary surprises and a soothing environment, Dar Hassine is your destination tonight.

* La Lagune

Alongside a natural harbor close to Midoun, hidden away from Djerba’s concrete jungle, lies a little gem of true tranquility: “Laguna”. The portions are copious and the grilled fish is extra crisp. Although there isn’t a drop of alcohol being served, chefs Adel and Fayçal will make sure you leave their restaurant with a blissful feeling.

* Salon de Thé Touareg

At Touareg tearoom enjoy pizza milkshakes in a cool setting. Decorated as if it were a Berber tent or traditional cave house, the mint tea tastes twice as nice here and there are shisha pipes too. The regular traditional music performances are the icing on the cake.

* Lamparo

Having dinner on the beach with your feet almost in the crystal blue water and a vast sunset on the horizon; what more do you need on vacation? Lamparo knows how to seduce and pamper its clients and everything about this restaurant is fun, beautiful and relaxing. The smell of barbecued fish and grilled prawns will lure you to Sidi Mansour beach and its paradise-like restaurant.
