The location is just great, just by the marble arch. Going there at night with the arch illuminated is even nicer. Th food is good. We had a try at the youg camel stew in clay pots which was very good

We had lunch at Athar restaurant today and went with the lamb stew cooked in a clay pot, broken open at the table. It was tender, lemony, served with cous-cous and grilled veggies, and was exactly what we had hoped for. The view of the Arch is second to none, and our starter salad, the fatoush, was a real highlight.... More

Fish and meat restaurant. Fresh fish always available. Libyan Soup is a speciality. Enjoyed eating there near the historical Marcus Gate

A wonderful setting in amongst roman ruins make this setting spectacular. Seats outside are great and you can eat outside until late November.

The location is superb: right next to a Roman victory arch. The food was very good, especially the fish soup and baby camel main course.

Dining options are limited in Tripoli at present and this one certainly offers one of the best settings under the imposing and beautifully lit Marcus Aurelius Arch. We ate here twice and the food is not great..a colleague had to hack into a very chewy overlooked steak. It was sent back only to be replaced with another very tough piece... More

The location is special tto be sure- in the old city and overlooking the only surviving structure from the Roman city of Oea. The service was perfect. We arrived at late afternoon as the kitchen was closing. This might have impacted the food quality. We had the Libyan soup, appetizer tray (hummus, harissa, and olives), and a main course each....
