Abouda distills Tunisian food into the kind of bold, no-frills street dishes you’d expect to find sizzling on a roadside griddle in Tunis. Since 2019, this low-key spot on Plaza St-Hubert has earned a loyal following among the city’s Tunisian diaspora and curious locals alike. The space is compact and inviting, all wood paneling and Berber textiles, with a small terrace out front in summer. The menu leans hearty and spicy: think egg-laced kafteji, cumin-scented lablabi built over torn bread, and slata mechouia punched up with tuna and harissa. Merguez, grilled meats, and rustic stews round out a lineup that’s heavy on comfort and surprisingly light on cost. It closes early and fills up fast, so come hungry and come early.
