Al-Medina al-Kadima Teahouse
In the heart of the medina, you can't miss this traditionally decorated teahouse with loads of North African knick-knacks and a mixed crowd of tourists and locals. The only drawback is that you'll need to go elsewhere if you've set your heart on smoking a nargileh. It also serves food upstairs.

Magha as-Sa'a
Opposite the Ottoman clock tower in the medina is Tripoli's outstanding traditional teahouse. You can sit outside, but make sure you check out the ground-floor room with its eclectic and distinctly musical themes - an old electric guitar, an archaic juke-box and gramophone. There are good views over the square from upstairs. Not surprisingly, this place has become a favourite of tour groups, but enough locals also turn up for it to feel authentic.

Mat'am al-Saraya Teahouse
This upmarket restaurant is classy inside, but especially popular for its outdoor tables on warm evenings where the air is thick with smoke.
