Decent Assida — nothing more, nothing less

Assida at this place was fine. The deeply savoury flavour was there but not distinguished. preserved lemon was present in the right quantities but without the care that makes the difference. You can taste when something is being made to a formula.

Tunisia is the world's third largest olive oil producer and olive oil underpins the cuisine. The a Tunis medina restaurant setting was generic rather than immersive. boukha fig spirit was offered but not explained. If you're in the area and want Assida it'll do. If you're going out of your way, look elsewhere.
