"Operating as a breakfast, lunch and musician‑residency spot, Le Dépanneur Café maintained a pared‑down grilled cheese and soup‑of‑the‑day menu before the pandemic, but during the first wave it pivoted to an international takeout menu to generate income and discovered a strong local appetite for Tunisian flavours; that discovery directly inspired the creation of Manoubia next door. Run by self‑taught owners Mouhli and Raymond, the café also helped press the city to permit street terrasses on Bernard — a change that, along with government aid, helped keep business afloat during lockdown." - Valerie Silva
