Assida exceeded every expectation

I went in with low expectations — I'd had mediocre versions before. What I found was Assida made with real commitment to olive oil and technique. The deeply savoury result was more complex and satisfying than anything I'd had before.

Tunisia is the world's third largest olive oil producer and olive oil underpins the cuisine. The a seaside fish restaurant was exactly right for this kind of eating. fresh lemon juice was offered as the natural choice and it elevated everything. When a dish you thought you knew surprises you completely, that's worth celebrating. Five stars without hesitation.
