Quite a good restaurant with nothin special in particular. The location is nowhere special. The ambiance is very nice, especially the courtyard. The service is slow. The food tastes more like fast food and it seems the chef does not take heed of the whole order. I was given a small portion od salade Tunisien with potatoes as complimentary strater; I had a full salade Tunisien (extremely good taste) as first course ( I did not know that salade Tunisien had to be served also as complimentary starter) and then half an entrecote which was over cooked with, again, salade Tunisien as contour together with white rice. Tastewise there was nothing to write home about.Price - mid-range but expensive for what I ordered.

Our taxi drive recommended this restaurant. Located in the heart of Midoun, Jerba's second largest town and less than 5 Tunisian dinars by taxi from many seaside hotels, Resto Delice was a wonderful find! We were greeted upon arrival by the owner, who welcomed us and thanked us for coming. We proceeded to enjoy a most enjoyable meal in this rather unadorned restaurants. From the fresh calimari appetizer, to our respective main courses of grilled Turkey brochettes and a second main course of pasta with mushrooms, the food was well prepared and excellent values. Following our meal, Kamel, the owner came over to thank us again for coming and surprised us each with a homemade cake with cinnamon, complemented by ice cream. A most gracious host, when I told him I wanted to write about his restaurant on Trip Advisor, he proudly showed us his Trip Advisor awards for 2012, 2013, 2014 and 2015. Clearly well deserved, we look forward to returning to Resto Delice and highly recommend anyone visiting Jerba to enjoy a meal at this most enjoyable restaurant.

A small, tranquil restaurant where one finds also works of art by Tunisian artists as well as a lounge area for having tea/coffee and snacks whilst socialising with persons of similar interests - good food and peaceful ambiance. The owner is extremely friendly, a typical Tunisian, and goes round every table even asking to sit down and chat and give advice on Djerba! A true example of socialising. The food is prepared to the best and excellence of tastes and varies from Tunisian and European, with a typical Meidterranean touch. One can see the young chef busying about alone in the kitchen and the waiter helping him in the kitchen and serving outside together with the owner. It is an outstanding feat and much praise goes to the three of them. The decorations are white and fresh, with soft lights and a relaxing courtyard; while the lcation is near the Mosque of the Turks, lovely lit up at night, and just about 300 metres from the centre of the Medina. Prices are within average and huge value for money. I highly recommend this unique restaurant with Parisian touches. Open for lunch, dinner and afternoon tea!

The food at Haroun is simple but good. The seafood pasta was delicate and delicious and the seafood and fish were finely grilled. The seafood rice was disappointing. We finished off with a lovely lime sorbet. The decor of the restaurant is amazing. It feels cosy even though it is large. The bathrooms are impeccably clean.

4. Les Palmiers Chez Neji et Catherine

Rather a small and very casual restuarant, typical tunisian food with a long list of meals to choose from.We were a group of eight and all ordered different meals; everyone was happy with their meal: very yummy food, and great, yet simple, execution. Only exception was for the Bolognese my niece ordered, not a surprise as it's not really a Tunisian specialty.Service was great: free "mise en bouche", free tea and a platter of fruit to finish. If you are in for some grillades, try and make it there before 10 pm: they do run out of fish and sea food quickly, which is a sign of fresh daily supply !Having been to other restaurants on the island, I believe Les Palmiers has one of the best Value for money. A definite Recommend !

Delighted with this luncheon experience. We always seek authentic local cuisine; Essofra offers the "real deal." Our outstanding Gil Travel guide directed us here and we savored the open, comfortable, unique setting (farm implements!) as well as our friendly and ohso helpful servers. Our group of 8 ordered and shared multiple Tunisian dishes; each was more flavorful than the next. Oh my.

Café Restaurant touristique et cadre typique. Cuisine issue des traditions raffinées de la gastronomie tunisienne et méditerranéenne extraites d'un large éventail de produits frais et de qualité. Zone piétonne, Djerba Midoun Tunisie.
Reviewed By 2tourtheworld
If you look around from this rooftop-terrace-restaurant, while having a snack or drinking a tea or coffee, you can admire the beauty of this wonderful little village to the fullest extend. I clearly recommend coming to Sidi Bou Said, when you´re in the area of Tunis, as it´s really amazing to see the beauty of all the buildings and especially those of the entrance doors and their frames, which are often a real work of art.
