I was invited by my client for lunch and told that this is probably the most highly-regarded restaurant in Tunis. It's located in an ancient Dar practically in the Medina, a magnificent building beautifully restored. The food was delicious, from starters to lamb couscous, one of the best ever tried. Apparently it is essential to book. As a no-smoker myself,... More

This is the place to go to if one wants to try tunisian traditional cuisine at its best ! Located at the fringe of the old medina of Tunis, in a former palatial home, " Dar el Jeld" has a subdued atmosphere pervading its beautiful surroundings. While the service is a bit too formal, the food comes usually up to... More

Excellent food, and service was flawless. I enjoyed everything so highly recommend it. I like it because of the atmosphere, so it was perfect to go with friends because as much as it is a beautiful place, you also feel at ease, not like other trendy places where you can sens a lot of formality in the air.

in the heart of the old town, in a typical arab old style house, serving a very authentic and typical tunsian food, this restaurant is a must visit, and one of the best restaurants in Tunisia. the service is great, even if I find it too formal. the waiter was very serious almost upset when dont answer his questions right...

This is the most highly-regarded restaurant in Tunis, serving home-style cooking presided over by a lady of the family which has restored this ancient Dar in the medina. Beautiful building with plenty of history. Waiting staff a bit stuffy but good food and wine. The Diwan craft/antiques shop down the street opposite has interesting pieces and is part of the... More

The main room of the restaurant is simply beautiful... the food is very good, the wines are excellent. It's a little bit too expensive for my budget but it still has to be done at least once. The staff is bizarre but OK. I think as numerous as they are, they should take care much more of clients' tables but... More

this is spectacularly -good Ottoman food in an Ottoman palace of great beauty at the top of the Medina. We were a large party and had mixed hors d'oeuvres, of which the fish salad with dill was spectacular, and the assorted filled pastries very unusual. This was followed by a perfectly cooked grilled loup-de-mer, and, for desert, by fruit and... More

The restaurant is beautiful. It is located on the edge of the Tunis medina, and the building seems to be a restored ryadh with a courtyard overlooked by narrow terraces. Eating on the terraces or one of the small rooms to the side is very romantic. The ceiling is very clever - it looks like open sky, but is in... More

At Dar El Jeld it is all about the ambience. I have been there on three occasions with visitors and they as simply knocked out by the style. It is the most beautiful building and a very elegant dining experience. The food is okay - not outstanding, service varies from polite to slightly disdainful - but one keeps coming back... More
