Has been there for a work-team dinner. The table organization was OK, and capacity to cover all orders was adequate.They serve very nice blood-lemon, and you should treat yourself with a Mid-Spicy Pasta with either sea fruits or grouper.I did not like their overcharging the table reservation, as it was sky high compared to the market rate.

2. Fish Market
Reviewed By JennyInGiro
Well worth the journey out of town to this string of cheap and cheerful fishmongers facing the Mediterranean. I can't remember which specific restaurant we went to but they all seemed pretty similar. We selected our fish outside and then went to sit in the family room whilst it was barbecued. In the meantime, you can help yourself to delicious appetisers of salad, rice and soups. When the fish arrived, it was perfectly cooked and simply delicious. As this is off the beaten track, I would advise women to dress even more modestly than you would in Tripoli.

3. Al Hofra
Reviewed By Marcio A
Hofra (which means ´the hole´ in arabic) used to be an interesting attraction in Tripoli. A mixture of fish market and restaurants, a big fuss of fish sellers and families. You could buy your fish and have it prepared there. But it no longer exists (closed in 2009). They keep calling ´hofra´ a region nearby where you have some restaurants specialized in sea food. But there´s nothing special about.
