former palatial home of Baron Rodolphe d'Erlanger, now a museum.
Dar El Annabi
An old house turned into a museum, showing the traditional life of an 18th century Tunisian lawyer. Privately owned and maintained by his descendants, it's well worth the visit. It's to your left as you enter the village.
Organises concerts and events taking place at the Ennejma Ezzahra palace.
Romantic, with great view from the terrace, but too often offering listless, bland food. Tastier food is on offer at the fresh doughnut stand nearby, on the same road.
Coffee shop with a large outside terrace.
The most upscale restaurant in town. Descent portions, tasty food, with a bit too formal atmosphere.
Best view in Sidi Bou Said. Shisha for 4 DT, but be careful, if you don't know the price the waiters will attempt to scam you for more money. Drinks are very expensive here (5 DT per bottle of water!), essentially you are paying for the view.
Famous cafe where artist Paul Klee worked often. Located at the top of the hill from the TGM (train). Much cheaper than cafe delices and more traditional as well. Shisha for 7 DT, mint tea for 3 dinars.
Right in the centre of town. All rooms are based around a pretty central courtyard. They are rather small, but are en-suite.
Hotel by the seaside.
It is on the Tunis - Carthage TGM light rail line (station Sidi Bou Said).
Read in the guideThe village is quite small, and you can visit every street of the village in no more than two-three hours. On the top of the hill there is a beautiful view of the surrounding bay.
