Dar Belhadj
دار بالحاج
A traditional restaurant in a restored Medina mansion, known for its couscous, tagines, and occasional live music, also serving alcohol.
Located at 17 Rue Tamis in the Medina, not far from the Al-Zaytuna Mosque, this restaurant is housed in a restored 17th-century mansion featuring ornate decor, soft lighting, and occasional live music or cultural performances. The highlights are generous portions of couscous and tagines, as well as slow-cooked lamb and spiced chakchouka. It is one of the few restaurants in the Medina that serves alcohol. Tucked away in a narrow alley, it can be hard to find; reservations are recommended during peak hours, and hours may adjust during Ramadan. Reviews on the food are mixed, with some finding it average or noting slow service; prices are on the higher side, categorized as expensive on Tripadvisor.
