Djerba’s cuisine is a delightful blend of Berber, Arab, and Mediterranean influences. While staying at Hôtel Mizwar, don’t miss the opportunity to explore the island’s rich culinary traditions.

  1. Rouz Djerbi: This signature dish features rice steamed with herbs, vegetables, and meat (usually lamb or chicken) in a couscoussier.

  2. Grouper Couscous: A Djerban twist on a classic — couscous served with fresh fish and a spiced tomato-chickpea sauce.

  3. Brik with Egg: A crispy malsouka pastry filled with egg, tuna, and capers. Best enjoyed hot and golden!

  4. Chorba: A comforting soup made with tomatoes, spices, vermicelli, and meat. Often served on festive occasions.

  5. Makroud & Bambalouni: For dessert, try makroud (a date-filled semolina pastry) or bambalouni (Tunisian-style doughnuts).

At Hôtel Mizwar, these specialties are lovingly prepared using local ingredients and served in a welcoming setting — the perfect way to experience Djerban hospitality.
