Le Comptoir de Tunisie
(The Counter of Tunisia)
You will not stroll
on Richelieu Street without having your
eyes drawn to a grey building. Here, in
front of the Molière Fountain, at the
number 30, a door opens on the other
bank of the Mediterranean and the
country of jasmine.
E
ver since its creation in 2005, Mehdi Djemmali wished to place Le Comptoir
de Tunisie in keeping with the great exhibitions, so that it would be a place
for discovery and conviviality. This temple of the Tunisian know-how offers a wide
range of local products and various elements of the art of the table, carefully
selected and imported from Tunisia. Old Magon, Gris from Hammamet, olive oil
from Tebourba, harissa and m’hamsa (traditional couscous) share their unique and
natural flavours, while handcrafted pottery, tablecloths and basketry enlighten the
space with their warm colours.
And for those who would like to experiment this Mediterranean atmosphere, Le
Comptoir de Tunisie invites gourmets on the restaurant section, on the first floor.
“Le Coin Gourmand“ offers all artisanal products and dishes from the delicatessen
store sold on the ground floor in simple menus inspired by the Tunisian cuisine. I
