What You’ll Find on the Menu at El Mida
Lamb Couscous
A signature dish of major celebrations in Tunisia. This generous couscous is made with tender Québec lamb, chickpeas, raisins, a hard-boiled egg, and a spicy pepper — offering the perfect balance of sweetness, spices, and tradition.
Kafteji
A colorful mix of fried vegetables and eggs — including peppers, zucchini, and chili — cooked in a rich tomato sauce. Served hot with our homemade bread, potato slices, a fried egg, harissa, and a spicy pepper. A truly Tunisian dish, full of flavor and character.
Tunisian Ojja
A slow-cooked dish made with garlic, peppers, tomatoes, and onions simmered in a homemade spicy tomato sauce infused with Tunisian flavors. Eggs are cracked directly into the sauce for a rich and flavorful finish. Available with merguez sausage or seafood.
Brika
A timeless classic of Tunisian cuisine — simple yet refined — typically enjoyed as a starter. Wrapped in a crispy malsouka pastry, the brika is filled with a creamy mix of seasoned mashed potatoes, parsley, tuna, and a whole egg that turns delightfully runny when cooked. Each bite combines crunch, softness, and spices… a true taste of tradition, both simple and irresistible.
Tunisian Salad Trio
A must-try starter featuring the three most iconic salads of Tunisia. Enjoy Salade Mechouia — ranked the second-best salad in the world — alongside Salade Houria, made with spiced carrots and bold flavors, and Tunisian Salad, a fresh and tasty mix of vegetables, tuna, and olives. A colorful, balanced trio bursting with flavor.
Tunisian Lablebi
The ultimate cold-weather comfort bowl: chickpeas slowly simmered in a fragrant broth with garlic, cumin, and harissa, served piping hot over bread with a runny egg, a drizzle of olive oil, and a splash of lemon. A true street food classic found on every corner in Tunisia — this hearty, authentic dish is perfect for warming up winter days.
Chapati
Come and try our Tunisian chapati — a street food staple bursting with bold, delicious flavors. It’s one of the many authentic street food specialties we proudly serve at El Mida.
Tunisian Makloub
Makloub is the ultimate Tunisian sandwich — generous, flavorful, and satisfying. Made with crispy flatbread grilled on the plancha, it’s filled with your choice of meat (chicken, merguez, or ground beef), fries, fresh salad, melty cheese, homemade harissa and mayo sauces. A bold and comforting mix of Tunisian flavors — perfect for a quick, hearty bite on the go.
