With a largely “no liquor”
rule in the medina due to its reli-
gious status, the nightlife is mos-
tly outside the city walls. The
buzz of activity is around Place
Abdel Moumen Ben Ali where
this pavement café is located.
Coffee-drinkers can be found at
streetside tables; those with a
more boozy disposition can enjoy
alcohol inside.
