Unlike other North African cuisine, Tunisian food is very hot and spicy... In fact, there is an old wife's tale that says a husband can judge his wife's affections by the amount of hot peppers she uses when preparing his food. If the food becomes bland then a man may believe that his wife no longer loves him. However when the food is prepared for guests the hot peppers are decreased to suit the more delicate palate of the visitor!

| Cafe el Bir (Cafe's) | Monastir, Tunisia |
| Pyramids of oranges in bowls, waiters wearing the traditional waistcoats brocaded at the front with the three quarter length white trousers, and an upstairs area for families and couples, cafe el Bir is a real find. The courtyard part of the cafe is well shaded by trees. Ask for a 'bir' (a mug of water) to accompany your glass of mint tea, coffee or light snack.

| Cafe Maure La Fontaine (Arabic) | Port El Kantaoui, Tunisia |
| Set in the pretty location just by a square and well situated to enjoy the fountain that comes alive at night to accompanying music, the cafe is a white washed building with low seats and an airy light feel that serves up Italian ice creams, light snacks and crepes with considerable panache. Service is efficient and friendly and the food is very reasonably priced. |
Recommended  Rue des Palmiers, Place de la Marina |
| Daurade (International) | Port El Kantaoui, Tunisia |
| This restaurant is slightly expensive but worth it... Fish is the main dish on the menu, although there are the usual other chicken and meat options. The soup (seafood bisque), Mediterranean delights (filleted fish served in a buttered paper parcel that's been sealed and baked in the oven), red mullet and lobster grilled with cheese are all delicious options. |
