Great place to savor Italian food with a Roman accent at its best in the heart of Tunis. Great pasta dishes an excellent "antipasto" spread and varied main courses. Small so reservation might be needed, Friendly staff and Italian owner who speaks a number of languages. Taaxi ride from Av Bourguiba should set you back around 5 dinars about 2 euros.

The bill came out at 120 TD for two people. Service was Brusque but professional, and the three courses (plus wine) all delicious. We basically ordered exactly what the waiter recommended; it seemed that the menu was an irrelevance. Tables very close together but still afforded a sense of privacy. Had to wait 15-20 minutes as showed up after 8pm without a reservation and every table was already taken.

I visited this restaurant with very high expectations. It was claimed to be one of the best in Tunis. Unfortunately, beyond its tasteful decor and ambiance, the quality of the food didn't really live up to expectation. It's possible that Ramadan's pressure affected the quality of the food.
Issues included a drab looking salad, they appears to have been prepared several hours before serving. The boreka was cold and greasy, and the main dish also appeared stale. I ordered a soft drink, and it was luke warm when it was served.
Service is good however, so no problems there. I will be visiting it again and hopefully the quality will be what others reviewers seem to have experienced.

Italian restaurant, located in one of the most modern and comfortable districts of Tunis, Ennasr II. Begins the activity the 13th June 2007 with one extraordinary idea, to export in North Africa the freat and diversified Italian kitchen. The professionalism of the Italian staff and the excellent quality of the Tunisian products (meat, fish) gave at the restaurant the quality we have set from the outset.

Welcoming was not that good. A person talking with an italian restaurant wanted us to wait up stairs because the table was being prepared. They did not serve s at the same time and then they apologized bit nothing else.
Pizza was saggy and average.
This was not a wow at all.
I am disappointed by service who brought bread but no plates. Servers did not smile.

Very pleasant French style restaurant with good food menu and good bar.
The food menu includes steaks and fish - shrimps looked very nice and also the speciality Duck. Sadly the duck was not available on our visit so I went for the fillet steak.
Beautiful .
The barman also does a very good cocktail menu. To be recommended.
Service was attentive and polite.

Reviewed By PhillipNelson - Washington DC, District of Columbia
Let's start with the ambiance. This is one of the only places in Tunis that does not allow smoking ! Amazing, and so appreciated. Le Zink is popular and full (expect a wait if you arrive after 8pm), but not overwhelming. Friendly and efficient service. Not too big and not too small, and a nice variety of people (teenagers, families, young, old, couples, and even the rare solo). Now the fries. Perfectly crisp. Honesty a delight. And of course, the burgers. Ground steak, top ingredients, great selection (even real bacon, if you want it). Perfectly done. I've had a lot of gourmet burgers in a lot of places in the world, and these hold up to any of them. Worth the drive from where ever you are in greater Tunis. Highly recommended.
