Terracotta is the best North African restaurant in the city. The food is extremely well prepared & the service is fantastic. The food is distinctly different from Moroccan cuisine. They have some really interesting specials on the menu. The food is cooked to perfection. We were surprised at how flavourful the vegetables were. I highly recommend this restaurant!
We stumbled upon Terracotta on a Monday evening, wandering around this fantastic neighborhood. I can't say enough good things about the restaurant. We were new to Tunisian cuisine & were excited for a new experience. It did not disappoint. The food was absolutely delicious - everything we ordered was so good with very big servings & the service was outstanding - our waitstaff were attentive, informative & friendly. I would highly recommend this spot. We will definitely be back.

One of the best restaurants we have tried in a while! Delicious food, I highly recommend the gargoulette & the octopus salad. The service was very friendly, they explained the different dishes to us & provided recommendations. Highly recommend trying this restaurant!
Can't believe google didn't recommend this place. Tucked away on a side street, had a nice vibe (with indoor & outdoor seating options), friendly staff, & lovely food. The aesthetic might strike you as italian on first blush, but it is Tunisian. Food is phenomenal & filling!
