Hammamet is known for its exotic nightlife, glamorous bars, and scrumptious restaurants. But if you prefer the quiet life as opposed to letting your hair down, or if you crave somewhere to recover from the previous night’s craziness, you’re in luck. Here’s our list of the best brunches in the area.
Brunch is a beautiful thing. Coffee is a beautiful thing. And when you put them together, magic happens. The place where you can find the best of this combination is Yachting Cafe Restaurant. Around the marina – Hammamet’s central, bustling area – you’ll usually strain to hear yourself think over the pleas of restaurateurs for you to come to their establishment – all part of Tunisian culture. But Yachting is different. There are no loud persuasions – simply because they’re not needed. Enjoy a quiet coffee and snack overlooking the sunshine.
La Bouillabaisse may count steak as their most ordered meal, but you still won’t regret brunching here. Why not have a cooked meal mid-morning and get the best of both worlds. If this doesn’t appeal, their drinks are wonderful; staff offer their full attention; and the restaurant has a widely unspoiled feel to it.

You might not think a typical English gastro-pub would ordinarily warrant a Certificate of Excellence from Trip Advisor. When the place in question is bang in Hammamet’s central, however, this is a different story, and it thoroughly deserves this acclaim. A friendly pub, The Rovers Return will make you love the cheerful cups of tea and hot breakfasts.
Classed as being home to the ‘best view in Hammamet,’ you are guaranteed to lovely scenery accompany your brunch at Sidi Boudhdid. Similarly, it’s also a great backdrop for admiring the sun go down, but as this is brunch-centered, we’ll focus on the mornings. In this traditional coffee shop, the green tea, made from the flowers of Fell, epitomizes all that this simple but irresistible cafe has to offer.
This really is a delightful little find in Hammamet. With home cooked, natural food that’s locally sourced, with pleasant staff who’ll make even morning haters want to chat over their breakfast. Their coffee, cake, and British teas don’t amass to much individually, but collectively they combine to make this among Hammamet’s top brunch spots.
When you think La Bella Marina, fancy cigale lobsters and evening settings may jump to mind more quickly than brunches. But fortunately for residents and visitors of Hammamet, you can come here when the mid-morning lull hits, too, and have a pick me up guaranteed. It’s mostly seafood and steak, but when it’s of this quality, it’s never too early in the day to start indulging.
La Belle Vue
Last but not least, La Belle Vue gets our honors. They’ve nailed the fine line between traditional Tunisian fare and modern mixtures of other cultures – something that can be notoriously difficult to master. In fact, La Belle Vue is actually quite splendid. Maybe head here if you’re looking for a brunch with a twist, rather than the standard coffees and crepes. It would be ideal for a special occasion.
I’m Ellie, I’m in my second year studying English Literature and Journalism at Cardiff University, and I’m loving every minute of this crazy thing I call my life. As an aspiring journalist, I’m always looking for new opportunities, which means my workload is kind of overflowing with freelance ventures. But this is no bad thing, as I like being busy! I’m itching to explore the world – namely Sydney, Paris, Nashville and New York. Yes, I’m a city girl! If I’m not daydreaming about travelling, or writing, you’ll find me singing Taylor Swift, hopping between coffee shops, or Instagramming random things I bump into day-to-day.
