    Sidi Bou Said - Café des Délices

    April 23 in Tunisia ⋅ ☀️ 19 °C

    Café des Délices, originally named Café Sidi Chaabane, is a well-known café in the charming, blue-and-white village of Sidi Bou Said, Tunisia. Perched at the top of the village, it boasts remarkable panoramic views of the Gulf of Tunis.
    Established in the 1960s, the café gained significant popularity after it was featured in the 1999 music video for Patrick Bruel's song "Au Café des Délices." This led to its renaming, although it still retains its original name as well. The blue parasols that shade its terraces match the distinctive doors and shutters of Sidi Bou Said, adding to its picturesque appeal.
    While the view is undeniably a major draw, some reviews suggest that the prices can be high and the service inconsistent. There have also been reports of issues with pricing and service quality in the past. However, many visitors still consider it a must-visit for the stunning scenery and the chance to soak in the atmosphere of Sidi Bou Said.
    In summary, Café des Délices offers:
    * Breathtaking views of the Gulf of Tunis.
    * A prime location in the beautiful village of Sidi Bou Said.
    * A connection to popular culture through Patrick Bruel's song.
    However, potential visitors might want to be aware of some reviews mentioning high prices and variable service.
