Beignets de la Médina

Beignets de la Médina is a small, unpretentious shop tucked into the dense, historic fabric of the Tunis Medina. It is distinguished by the scent of frying dough that regularly spills into the street, signaling the preparation of classic Tunisian snacks. While the neighborhood is home to many traditional establishments, this particular spot is recognized by locals for its fricassés—small, deep-fried rolls that are split open and stuffed with a savory mixture of tuna, mashed potato, olives, egg, and a touch of spicy harissa.
