Eating out

about me Cafes i like : Cafe de roma  in seyahia and Lamma cafe  in gergaresh and caracalla in gergaresh also .. restaurants are La sacala in hay alndlous and aboulina ..

if you like lebanese food -- real lebanese food and not schwarma and french fries, try the lebanon restaurant. it's on the main road in gergarash right next to lino's cafe!

for a real Libyan restaurant - and if you like fish - go to the fish restaurant with the "blue table" in the medina al qedima!!  I can never remember the name - but they always put a little blue table outside the door to show that they are open - 3 course meal for around 8 dinar - its delicious!!  :-)

A lot of info for me in here guys can you till me what is the cost of meals in kook door?

probably Abiya. simple menu but fresh. also the tripolis right in the middle of all the dive shops between marcus aurelius arch and casa caffe. i bit more expensive (i think) but bigger menu.

YES!!!  Thats the one!!!  :-D  Al Abiya.  My other favourite is the Al Attar - right next to Marcus Aurelius Arch.  Their speciality dish is "Al Jarra" - a kind of stew cooked in a pottery jar and then broken in front of you and poured into your dish...really superdelicious - and my favourite THERE is the baby camel!!  :-)  They also serve it with fish and mutton...superb - and the resident sax player is an added touch - and very romantic at night!!  :-)

Tarek - CookDoor no longer exists - its been taken over by Al Farouj (see the first post at top of page....  ;-)) - also fast food, but specialising in chicken - the decor hasnt changed much - and the food is as good if not better - and the staff friendlier and more helpful, especially when it comes to birthday parties!!  :-)

I also was just introduced to a REALLY lovely Cafe/Restaurant in Gargaresh Road - just on the edge of Siya Hiya and gergaresh....called Veranda Cafe - it has just moved next door to where it was originally, and is now much bigger and better - and REALLY good coffee and cakes....  :-)

Another coffee shop that is fast becoming a favourite that I was just introduced to by a friend is Diplomacy Cafe near the Ministry of the Interior I think - close to the Radisson on the sea front.  Again, excellent coffee and cakes - and their burger is pretty good, too......  :-)

Hi Tarek

I think it's prices are relatively moderate. I was disappointed with their charcoal grilled chicken. The picture in the menu is more or less fine art

The deep fried chicken is delicious + humms + salads too

Safir restaurant behind the Kabeer Hotel -- nice ambiance and good Indian food!

there's a complex of restaurants, and they are nice, the food is fantastic and all kinds of salads, but a little far, it's near the light house in tajoura, in front of the sea. no place worth going but there, only sea food, you can choose your own food and watching it grilling and you can choose any salad that you want. nice

@Ayman  You are right.. I usually go there every weekend.. It's just the place where you can find good grilled fish..

You chose the fish and they cook it for you plus salad and other stuff.

It's worth visiting..

Genuine libyan meal is in small restaurant called Haj Hmad. The most delicious kous-kous and other libyan stuff that i have ever eaten in Libya.

Thank you for your info. It is really helpful. If you have their phone number it will be really useful to check whether they are still working?

In the old city close to Martyrs square there is Tripoli's restaurant. Fish soups, cous cous, grilled pumpikin and more!
We could arrange a dinner there. Ciao!

Hi Factory Girl - if you look further up this topic, you will see I already mentioned that restaurant...  ;-)

concerning sea food, the only place is complex of restaurants near the light house and specifically one among these restaurant, all kinds of sea food, the top in tripoli with reasonable prices, you can choose your own dish, but in terms of other kinds of food, the traditional meals, im not sure about anyone, believe me, to tell the truth, there were many, but as they say the good quality goes away with time.
