Chez Yassine
A long-standing Tunisian diner in Noailles where you point at the pots to order; the chickpea soup and egg brik are cheap, hearty, and satisfying.
Chez Yassine is a long-standing Tunisian canteen in the Noailles neighborhood, hailed by Frommer's as the best representative of street food in the area. Here, you order directly by pointing at the simmering pots. Signature dishes include the spicy chickpea soup (lablabi) and egg brik, with lamb couscous served on Fridays, alongside kafteji and homemade lemonade. The average cost is around €10 to €20 per person. Portions are generous, takeout is available, and the restaurant is halal. The space is cramped and noisy, with long waits during peak hours and hurried service. Some recent reviews suggest inconsistent quality, so it is recommended to avoid peak dining hours. Located on Rue d'Aubagne, within walking distance of the Noailles metro station.
Opening hours
From around 11:00 to late evening; sources conflict on Monday closures and exact closing times, so confirmation before visiting is recommended
