Sometimes a good book and a some fresh coffee are all it takes to make your day. You can find both and much more at L’Agora – cinema, café and cultural space in La Marsa.

With walls full of books & magazines, hot coffee and tempting cakes, L’Agora is a place that instantly makes you feel comfortable. You can dive into a story in one of the little corners or catch up with some friends over a brownie at one of the inviting tables outdoors.

In addition to simply being a great place to spend a relaxed, yet inspiring afternoon (I stumbled upon a late 1990s magazine on Moroccan fashion & interior design that captured my attention for a good hour), the cinema at L’Agora is also the best address when you’re up for either the latest Hollywood blockbuster or a journey into Arab cinema, with screenings of the original versions in English or Arabic (with French subtitles) as well as of the respective French versions.

If you are always up for a good cultural night, L’Agora is definitely a space to keep your eye on. They also host various events – one of them being the Urban Session, which will take place on August 4th, 2016 as part of the Festival International de Carthage and celebrates anything Urban Arts – hip hop, rap, break dance and much more!

Last but not least, special shoutout to whoever bakes the chocolate chip cookies at L’Agora – the only truly chewy and delicious cookie I found in Tunisia so far.
