Al - Athar

Yes, Al-Athar is a restaurant located among the ruins of an ancient Roman city, it is also one of the best restaurants in Libya. It's a particularly romantic site, with its open front facing out into a 1st century, completely preserved Roman arch. You'll dine outside in the Mediterranean wind (excellent weather 9 months of the year) under the shade of a 2000-year-old Roman arch (Marcus Aurelius), surrounded by old Roman marble and stone carvings. You can even touch the stones and take selfies with them, unlike most other historic sites across the world.

The meal is delicious and well-presented typical Libyan fare. As others have mentioned, the typical local cuisine of Libyan soup, as well as the goat casserole, are both excellent. The fish is always good, and it was landed only a short distance from the port. They serve typical Libyan dishes such as baby camel cooked in a clay pot that they smash right in front of your eyes! Come here at night for a terrific atmosphere.... The only disadvantage is that it is rather costly.
