Post: Food of Gabes — What I Ate and Where by @marwene
Status & Checks
| Criterion | Status / Notes |
|---|---|
| Pin location | The !steematlas block with 33.88703058, 10.10341359 labels “Market Bab Bhar Gabes” and lands by the central market area linked to Plus Code V4P3+C7Q, which works as a hub for a citywide food roundup. For maximum accuracy on a multi venue post, either keep this central anchor and clearly state it in the intro, or add secondary pins in future posts for standout places with their own doors and signs. |
| Added to Steem Atlas | Atlas code is present and correctly formatted so the post appears on the map and is straightforward to verify. |
| Beneficiary @steem-atlas | Not mentioned. Consider adding 5 to 10% to @steem-atlas to support weekly processing and tools. |
| Required tags | Ensure #atlasafrica #steem-atlas #tunisia are present. Add #gabes #food #couscous #streetfood to improve discovery. |
| Word count | Clearly ≥ 400 words with multiple sections that cover dishes, venues, and tips. |
| Original photos | Good variety across ice cream moments, pasta plate, couscous, octopus and peas, ojja, sahlab, family kitchen and morning garlic bowl. Add short one line captions under each image, plus one wide context shot per venue that shows a sign or counter for verification. |
| Useful info | Location, Plus Code, Google Maps link, how to get around, hours pattern and etiquette are included. Strengthen with a tiny price sampler in TND for 3 to 5 dishes and note that any STEEM equivalents are indicative on today’s date. |
| Witness proxy → @steem-atlas | Not mentioned. Optional to set a witness proxy to @steem-atlas for long term reliability. |
Quick improvements
Keep the !steematlas block at the very end unchanged so coordinates remain verifiable. Add a 10 to 20 second clip at the central market or a countertop plating shot to give motion context. Include a mini price table with typical local ranges in TND for ice cream cups, ojja, couscous plates and a café drink. Add a brief hygiene and sourcing note such as choosing busy counters at lunch and asking for the day’s fish or stew. Where family homes are shown, keep captions respectful and avoid close identifiable faces without consent.
Plug and play “Practical Info” (copy or adapt)
Access: Market Bab Bhar, Gabes at V4P3+C7Q, coordinates 33.88703058, 10.10341359. Most traditional spots cluster around the center and the corniche, with easy walk ups from roadside parking or shared taxis.
When to go: Lunch 12:00 to 15:00 for fresh pots and evening 19:00 to 22:00 for cafés and dessert. Fridays and market mornings can be lively, arrive a little early.
Ordering tips: Ask for the poisson du jour for couscous from the coast, or request less spicy or no garlic if needed. Sharing two plates across the table lets you taste more.
Etiquette and safety: Ask before photographing staff or private kitchens, keep bags in front in crowded lanes, and mind hot pots at counter service.
Verification notes
The coordinates and V4P3+C7Q Plus Code align with Bab Bhar at the heart of Gabes. The photo sequence spans recognizable local dishes and settings that match a central market based food circuit, so the pin serves as a practical anchor for readers to start their own tasting walk while keeping the entry easy to verify.
