DESTINATIONS tunisia monastir Dining Malibu Space

Malibu Space

This jazzy resto-lounge has a wild, tropical feel to it. Perhaps, it's because of the giant ornamental elephant sticking out of the front door. The restaurant specialising in seafood is upstairs overlooking the beach and downstairs you can grab a cocktail in the lounge area whilst listening to a live band. Whilst Malibu Space may be on the higher end of the holiday budget, there aren't too many other places you can go in Monastir that offer quality food and live music in the same place. Be sure to try the octopus salad.

Dining

The cuisine of Monastir and Tunisia on the whole defines itself with an abundance of rich olive oil and not-so-delicate spices. The national dish is the famous Berber couscous, made from durum wheat which is steamed and soaked in a thick, peppery harissa paste and accompanied by vegetables, beef, veal, lamb, fish or octopus. Monastir itself is better known for its seafood as it is right next to a major fishing port. The amalgam of sweet, sharp, smokey and tangy flavours that are infused in this seaside city's best dishes can appease even the most robust palates.
