Culinary passion mixed with Arab hospitality led one Tunisian to open a restaurant, now famous for octopus and couscous. In Kerkennah, an island off the Tunisian coast, you can allegedly get the best couscous and octopus in the world – and the place to get it is Najet’s restaurant. Najet Werda came to Kerkennah as a young girl and fell in love with the picturesque island’s low-key profile. She always dreamed about returning to the island, but little did she know that she would settle here and realise her dream with her husband, Fadhel.
