Good food! Although the service was a little mixed when I went in, and the portions could serve to be a bit larger. I definitely intend to go back, though.
When I visited: Weekday eveningBooths? NoNoisy? NoLives up to its name? Less of a cafe, more of a restaurant. No alliteration there though I suppose.Candies with Bill? Yes but boring.This is one of those restaurants that provide a little basket of complimentary bread with your meal though I read somewhere they charge for refills. We tried the Moroccan iced tea which was fine, and my date had the seafood bouillabaise -fish of the day, scallops, tiger prawns and mussels in saffron broth and she said it was decent. I really appreciate restaurants that have sampler plates where I can try a bunch of different stuff in one entree, so I chose the Couscous Carthage steamed couscous, chicken, lamb, merguez and autumn vegetables in tomato sauce. It was pretty good. Service was good. Music was light and jazzy and Frenchy but not offensively so.Although this is indeed a unique dining experience, the food wont knock your socks off. Desserts all made on site but still overpriced. I could get that tart in a deli for half the price. Ive been here twice I probably wont go back, I feel like Ive got the experience and dont need to spend the money a third time. I would recommend it though if you havent been, are looking for something a bit (but not wildly) different, and dont mind spending some money.Biggest Rave: If youre looking for some fine dining that is open past 9pm this is an option!Biggest Rant: Unnecessarily hoity-toity. Also I dont understand these thin, dry sausages. Who likes them?TRIVIA: Carthage is a seaside suburb of Tunisias capital, Tunisin Africa! It was once the center of the ancient Carthaginian civilization.
SALTY1. Six of us had dinner – we all agreed – too salty! Overpriced! Had the seafood special – should have sent it back.Would never go back. Waste of money and time.
Good couscous but all the meats are tough and overcooked. Tried the couscous and the bouillabaisse. The couscous with the eggplant sauce is absolutely delicious but the chicken, turkey, and sausages within the dish is so tough and dry.The mussels in the bouillabaisse was nice but all the fish were so overcooked! thehappysloths.com
Would so recommend this restaurant. Service equally as good as the food. Sam
Went for first time expecting good – after reading reviews and was very disappointed & unfortunately the food was disgusting. Perhaps they have good days but not when I went. 🙁
First time I went, it was great. Second time was a complete disapointment: they were slow (we waited an hour) and when we got our food it was gross. The fish we got was overcooked and the tajine was bitter. The waiter told us it was because the cook had drank too much alcohol and was late! The place was frigid. I ordered a tea and it took half an hour for it to come. Overall very disapointed!
