When I walked into Djerba la Douce, I saw a hint of dismal in one of my friend's eyes. I know Djerba la Douce does look a little sketchy both from the outside and the inside and this definitely not places he would have frequent.
With no decoration, no air conditioning (lucky it was kind of a chilly evening), a hole in the wall place, I don't blame him, I have second thoughts when I walked into Djerba la Douce too!
But when I tried the food! The tasty well prepared food...full of flavours...cooked with care and love... I knew I made the right choice..
Calamari Djerbieno $6.95 (tender calamari and the sauce!!!)
Brique $4.25 (lemon,herbs and incredibly light!)
Chicken Merguese Couscous $13.95 (Couscous is the star!!)
Trout with Coriander Sauce $15.95 (spicy and creamy and peppery!)
They all tasted so good... has great balance of spices and herbs, foreign yet familiar.....
Since every dishes are cook when order and having a small kitchen with 1 cook, it takes time... But it really worth the wait!
If you want ambiance, go across the street to Walima.... we can meet up later and listen to you complaining about their lousy food!
