La Bouillabaisse

The restaurant's imposing sign is hard to miss — especially so at night, when the letters light up. La Bouillabaisse serves French cuisine with an individual spin, with cooked-to-perfection meats, seafood (escargot in garlic sauce), and other dishes gracing tables of loyal customers.

Dining

Eateries in and around Hammamet (and the Yasmine resort complex) cater to a plethora of different tastes, given that the city regularly receives large numbers of foreign visitors. Seafood features prominently on local restaurants' menus, and so does lamb. One local specialty not to be missed is couscous, a dish containing the grain itself along with meat and/or vegetables. Meals often come with a side of harissa - a spicy peppery paste, to be mixed in with food or used as a spread.
