CAFETERÍA DES NATTES
Cómo llegar y contactar
Aunque llegue a lo alto de la calle principal, todavía tendrá que subir algunos escalones para entrar en uno de los establecimientos más famosos de la ciudad. Clint Eastwood, Sean Connery y Johnny Hallyday fueron clientes habituales. En otras épocas, lo visitaron también Paul Klee, Simone de Beauvoir, Montherlant o André Gide y sus recuerdos aún perduran. Tumbados en las esteras, los visitantes beben a sorbos su té de menta o hacen burbujear su cachimba. Es la cafetería a la que van las personas mayores del pueblo, que acuden aquí sobre todo por las mañanas. El ambiente es muy agradable.

Sa vue sur la rue principale qui descend vers la ville nouvelle permet d'observer les vas et viens des passants, tranquillement, en sirotant un thé aux pignons.
I visited Café des Nattes in Sidi Bou Saïd two days ago with my family — four adults and a child — and had one of the worst experiences during our time in Tunisia.
We ordered just 3 non-alcoholic beers and 1 fresh orange juice. Without asking, we were served a few small, stale-looking croissants, which we assumed were complimentary. No one told us otherwise.
We politely asked for a menu multiple times — they refused to give us one. Luckily, we had photos of the outdoor menu, so we were aware of the pricing. Still, when the bill came, instead of a printed check, the waiter simply drew “28€” with his finger on the table. Yes, that’s right — no receipt, no breakdown.
We asked how that was even possible. After some arguing, they “generously” lowered the amount to 23€, which was still way overpriced. We ended up paying only 20€, which they reluctantly accepted, and we left the café extremely disappointed.
Later, we noticed a printed slip with a charge of 15 TND (approx. 4.4€) for the croissants, and when we questioned it, the cashier (Mahjoub Aouadi, bill number 220525, table 220, April 3rd, 2025 at 14:47) claimed each croissant was 3€! Insanity. We never received a proper receipt for the drinks, and it felt like they were trying to scam us for nearly 100 TND total.
This place survives on its historic reputation and tourist location, but make no mistake — it's a money trap with no transparency, no service ethics, and rude staff who try to overcharge unsuspecting visitors.
⚠️ If you’re considering visiting — don’t. There are plenty of other places in Sidi Bou Saïd that are honest and welcoming.
