La Goulette. Fishing port of Tunis La Goulette is an important part of the port system of Tunis, lying out on the coast. It is also a very important fishing port, and the place has gotten a reputation of having some of the best seafood restaurants in Tunisia. Considering what unknown small restaurants can do with fish in this country, La Goulette soon appears in your daydreams. The city itself is no more than a pattern of streets with very normal houses. Finding your way down to the center is a bit difficult, and to your disappointment, the seafood restaurants are not on any esplanade, nor will you see any sea unless you go searching for it. And the food? It's very good, but compared to your expectations it all comes as a disappointment, the extra injection you were dreaming of, the juicy, crispy fish that could have almost lifted you out of your body, removing that tickle, isn't there. And the setting in most restaurants seem a bit more basic than the bill you're presented with at the end. But there are many Tunisians in these restaurants, always a good sign.
