Good food and drinks at affordable prices. Located in a very pleasant park, full of locals. Attention tourists: the staff do not speak English or French, only Arabic, and the menu is not translated. Despite that, we managed to place our order.
Recommended by our local tour guide, this spot offers a truly vibrant atmosphere—especially on Fridays with live traditional music. It gets very crowded, but that’s part of the charm. A great way to experience local culture beyond the tourist scene.
