Voyage to the heart of Tunisian flavors: Exceptional Iftars at The Residence
At The Residence Tunis, culinary art becomes a bridge between past and present, between heritage and reinvention. In a refined setting, we invite our guests to an authentic immersion in Tunisian gastronomic heritage, celebrating the treasures from various regions of the country.
The Flavors of the Past, Enhanced by Chef Wafik Belaid
At the heart of this quest for authenticity, Chef Wafik Belaid and his team reinterpret ancestral recipes, giving them a contemporary touch. Every ingredient, carefully selected, embodies the spirit of a terroir. From freshly caught fish to captivating spices, from exceptional olive oils to carefully cultivated grains, every product tells a story – the story of generations who have preserved a valuable know-how.
El Dar: The Soul of Tunisian Cuisine
In the cozy setting of restaurant El Dar, tradition reigns. Here, Tunisia’s iconic recipes come to life, passed down from mother to daughter, from chef to apprentice. Each week, a themed Iftar highlights a region, revealing its specialties and forgotten culinary treasures. Dishes such as couscous with octopus from Kerkennah, cooked in a clay pot, or guerfella – a mix of dry peas and barley from the fishermen’s traditions – transport guests to another time.
Heading to Kerkennah: Between Sea and Heritage
The Kerkennah Archipelago unveils a cuisine shaped by the sea and time. Here, fishermen have learned to make the most of the natural resources, transforming dried octopus and dried shrimp into exceptional dishes. Chef Wafik Belaid draws inspiration from these traditions to create elevated dishes, where the simplicity of ingredients blends with the subtlety of local spices. Each bite becomes a tribute to the fishermen and their ingenuity.
Bizerte: Where the Sea Meets the Olive
Further north, Bizerte unveils a cuisine where land and sea merge into a symphony of flavors. Between its freshly caught fish, its fruity olive oil, and its captivating spices, this city embodies a rich and diverse culinary heritage. The Iftar dedicated to Bizerte highlights marine treasures and local products, celebrating a perfect balance between tradition and creativity.
L'Olivier: An Exceptional Iftar Buffet
For a more modern experience, the restaurant L'Olivier offers an Iftar buffet where Tunisian flavors meet global influences. In an elegant setting, guests discover a variety of refined dishes, from fragrant tagines to succulent grills, and delicate oriental pastries with a touch of sweetness.
