Kairouan Food Guide: 6 Must-Eat Restaurants & Street Food Stalls in Kairouan
Kairouan (Arabic: القيروان Qeirwān, also known as al-Qayrawan), is the capital of the Kairouan Governorate in Tunisia. It is a UNESCO World Heritage site. The city was founded by the Umayyads around 670. In the period of Caliph Mu'awiya (reigned 661–680), it became an important centre for Sunni Islamic scholarship and Quranic learning, and thus attracting a large number of Muslims from various parts of the world, next only to Mecca and Medina. The holy Mosque of Uqba is situated in the city.

This place is simple, clean, and the service is good. You can get international food (pizza, pasta, etc.), but my recommendation is to go with the plat Tunisienne or plat chwarma. They are super cheap - less than 6 dinars - and quite tasty. Another nice thing is that it is located in easy walking distance from the Hotel Continental.
We went a bunch and liked it. Even with an appetizer, you can expect to pay about 6-7 dinars per person max, and leave full and satisfied.

I loved the ambient in old medina and an old house with lot of smaller rooms, nice patio, decorated with ethnographic items, and even with kind of beds near some tables, which looked like beeing in a harem.... The food and service were good, efficient and tasty.

My husband and I stopped here for a short break before we continue our itinerary. It is an old forteresse that was converted to a cafe/ restaurant.
The interior decor looks nice.
Bathrooms were clean compared to other bathrooms in Tunisia. Their fresh juice was excellent. We didn't order any other food or beverages however it looks clean.

ristorante molto semplice, arredato con una vena molto ingenua, forse kitsch, ma con tanto garbo e amore, il che lo rende già simpatico di suo, oltre ad essere un'oasi di pulizia, fatto più che apprezzato in una cittadina dove calore e polvere la fanno da padroni. un buon servizio cordiale (altra qualità gradita in una città non proprio accogliente) fornito da un padre e il suo bambino aggiungono un'ulteriore nota di merito. cous cous nella norma, frutta fresca e tè alla menta con pasticcini. conto più che onesto. centralissimo, nella strada della medina che collega le due porte principali. raccomandabile!
