Makhroud Bazaar

Just off the medina's major pedestrian thoroughfare, this bazaar next to Restaurant Marhaba is dedicated to Kairouan's much-loved makhroud (date-filled semolina pastries soaked in honey). Expert pastry chefs produce them most days, and are happy for tourists or potential buyers to watch them working. Hours can vary – weekday mornings are the best time to visit.
