Restaurant du Peuple

Home-style eatery on the north city wall of Sousse's old town, famous for fish couscous and homemade chili sauce, with affordable prices.

Located on Rue des Remparts Nord on the north side of Sousse's old town, the restaurant is also known to locals as the "Paris Restaurant." Diners choose fish, chicken, or lamb couscous or tajine, and the meal is followed by soup, lentils, stewed pumpkin, mini brik, and other small dishes, often finished with mint tea and fruit. The menu is short and changes daily. The setting is simple, and it mainly serves lunch, roughly 12:00–18:00. Some platforms have listed temporary closures, so check before visiting. It's a few minutes' walk from the Great Mosque in the old town.
