tea of coffee?

Art Abstrait Made in Méditerranée.
 
Experiencing a coffee shop in downtown Tunis is fascinating... You step into a unique atmosphere, the land of strong coffee, short 'express', small 'capucin' or 'direct', that café con leche served with three of four sugars, and a plastic straw...

 

 
 
what does capucin have to do with capuccino in tunis ? 
well nothing! just remember that the two are totally different.
 

Now if you are more a tea drinker, you will both feel home and pretty surprised in tunis:
you will have green mint tea in the morning, and green tea with roasted pine nuts in the afternoon.
With ample portions of sugar of course.

Cette année, on rend hommage au sens du 'kif' à la tunisienne.

Forget about macchiato and cappuccino. Discover the place where direct, capucin and green tea are kings.

Bottarga, the must-have of the beautiful Mediterranean tables. We eat it in salad, on Mediterranean flavored pasta or in slice with just small zest of lemon.
