To eat well in Djerba, start with the area. In Houmt Souk, around the harbour and the souks, you will mostly find fish restaurants and small eateries for a quick brik or sandwich at lunchtime. In Midoun, the town and the neighbouring tourist zone mix Tunisian and international cooking; that is where Restaurant Sultana sits, at the Coupole roundabout. On the plate, order what the island does best: an egg brik to start, then a kamounia, a couscous or a grilled fish, and always ask for the dish of the day, often the freshest. A menu displayed with its prices, and locals among the customers, are two good signs. Prices are in Tunisian dinars and stay reasonable outside the hotels.
Eating in Djerba: your questions
How much does a meal cost in Djerba?
Prices vary a lot between a hotel restaurant and a table in town. To get an idea, Sultana's prices of the day are shown on our menu.
Should I book a table for dinner?
In high season and in the evening, it is safer. At Sultana, booking takes a minute on WhatsApp or from the Book page.
