Chef Fatma's Home Dinner
Chef Fatma
A reservation-only home dinner on the ground floor of a house in the old medina, where the host serves Le Kef's signature borzgane in the traditional style.
Located near the Ali Ben Salah Mosque in Le Kef's old medina, this small restaurant occupies the ground floor of chef Fatma's own house. It is decorated in a traditional style and serves only a few guests. The highlight is borzgane, a Le Kef specialty of slow-cooked lamb with pistachios, almonds, walnuts, hazelnuts and dates, spread over coarse semolina. Other dishes include Berber soup, mechouia roasted vegetable salad served with tabouna bread, chakhchoukha, and rfiss for dessert. The kitchen only fires up for bookings, which must be made by phone 2–3 days in advance. Expect about TND 70–80 per person. It is within walking distance in the old town.
