The best restaurants Suez Canal

Nostalgic atmosphere, stone walls, checked tablecloths: Chez Gaby is the most pleasant al dente restaurant in Alexandria. Delicious antipasti, variety of pasta and pizzas, good dishes of the day and homemade ice creams to become gourmet. In addition to the quality of the cuisine, this address has other advantages: it takes orders until late in the evening and serves good wines (you can also bring back a bottle for a corkage fee). Roxane, the owner, is a charming hostess and, what's more, she speaks French.

One of the best seafood restaurants in Alexandria, in a one-storey hut on the seafront. Choose the catch of the day and its price will be calculated according to weight (if you are fond of shrimps, they are just delicious!). Your choice will be seasoned and grilled with taste. Bread, salads, hummus, rice: the side dishes are also very good. Clean establishment, fast service, very cheap price: this is the kind of "bon plan" address that you recommend to your friends for its quality and freshness.

The most beautiful point of view, at the water's edge, of the old port and the fort of Qaïtbay. Excellent fish a little more expensive than elsewhere, but the view is to die for. You choose your fish from the crushed ice stall and we prepare it for you at your convenience. You can also opt for an à la carte dish: soups, salads, paella, pasta and a few suggestions for carnivores. It is one of the must-see restaurants in Alexandria, the service is friendly although it sometimes seems outdated! No doubt about hygiene.

An unlikely place: a reconstructed fortified castle, a zoo and a restaurant. Sea-side kitchen with a selection of fresh fish and seafood that can be prepared at your convenience. The fishing is of quality and the cooking perfect, all orchestrated by a friendly service. The room is kitschy as you wish, ask to be installed in their open space where the view is splendid. Perfect address for families, children have a space with attractions to keep them occupied if dinner is too long.

If you've only got one meal to eat in Port Said, the Borg is the place to go. This fish restaurant is renowned for its exceptional finesse. Start with the fish soup, enriched with pieces of crab and dates. Then ask for a cicada de mer, a smaller version of a crayfish, to be baked with oil and lemon. A few plump king prawns and you're all set. All this will be accompanied by a host of exquisite mezze, and often the owner will offer you a fish amuse-bouche.

This luxury hotel overlooks the Mediterranean Sea. It is a 10-minute walk from the Royal Jewellery Museum and 9 km from the Bibliotheca. The rooms are tastefully decorated with a balcony, offering a panoramic view of the city or the sea. The hotel offers six catering options, which can satisfy all desires: grills; Byblos for Lebanese or French cuisine; Stefano's for Italian cuisine. The best restaurants in town.

A very good address for kebab, kofta and shawarma, as well as all kinds of grilled meats. Here too, you'll be overwhelmed by the mezze brought in to tide you over. Enjoy, but save room for your order! Sensitive stomachs will appreciate smaller portions, as the meat is a little fatty - some would say that's why it's good! We like the simple, popular feel of the place and the friendly, cheeky waiters. Next door to this resolutely carnivorous address is the excellent fish restaurant Arous el Bahr.

Since 1957, this address has been the Alexandrian - indeed, the national - reference for foul! The whole of society flocks here, including the Queen of Spain. Ask, of course, for the "foul eskandrani" (Alexandrian foul), accompanied by a variety of mezze. You'll really get your money's worth, and the impression of a local experience, in a warm and typical atmosphere. Falafel and hummus are also excellent. If you're in a hurry, buy sandwiches on the run - they come in all shapes and sizes.

This fish restaurant is a popular seafood destination for Port Saidians. Grilled, breaded, skewered, in soups, stewed... fish and seafood are prepared here in a variety of ways. Their great specialty is a recipe for rice cooked in a fish broth, full of flavor. Freshness, quality and impeccable hygiene. In a relaxed atmosphere, the waiters keep a smile on their faces and are always at your service... One of Port Saïd's very good addresses, at reasonable prices.

A rather warm, oriental-rustic atmosphere, and friendly waiters who work like bees to satisfy all these little people. The cooking is not always regular but it is especially necessary to go there for the shawarma and the fitirs that they succeed particularly well. It is rather a cheap address that stays open late at night which can help when you let yourself be taken by time. The small terrace overlooking the sea is very pleasant in summer, lunch in such a setting is certainly the most beautiful advantage of this address.

If there is a king of the foul, Ana Misho is the prince of kochery in Alexandria: he is undeniably good... and invigorating! This traditional recipe is made with macaroni, fried onions, brown lentils and tomato sauce, so much so that you will be satisfied at a lower cost! The place is clean and the service efficient: it's a good popular address, you can also order your kochery to go. A little advice, stick to the house specialty and avoid pasta and pizzas that are served in their own oil ..

This is Port-Saïd's emblematic pastry shop. Try its delicious butter croissants. In addition to viennoiseries, it offers a multitude of mouth-watering pastry creations and, of course, a whole range of oriental cakes, including a wonderful baklawa. Sandwiches, burgers, salads and pizzas are also available for lunch. You can also buy bags of confectionery and sweet petits-fours to take back to France as souvenirs. The interior is less attractive than the terrace on the street.

The inhabitants of the town will tell you, it is the best restaurant to offer you grilled meats, pigeons to become greedy! We also like its accompaniments: garnished vine leaves, accompanied by a yoghurt salad, vegetables cooked in tajine, samboussek filled with cheese and a delicious rice cake to finish. The pita is particularly fresh with a hummus perfect to accompany it! Very good address but a little more expensive than a simple Kebab restaurant. The place is clean and the service courteous.

It is the historic site of the chain that has now developed in Cairo. Another king in his field: rice pudding with different flavours. Same recommendation as in Cairo: ask for the whole thing with eichta (a thick, extremely fragrant milk cream) and raisins. Other specialities include louqmat al-qady doughnuts and iced compositions such as Mistka, a vanilla ice cream sprinkled with crushed nuts. On the spot or to take away, the sign makes sweet eyes with sweet beaks.

The favourite address of the late Georges Moustaki. A little off-centre, this restaurant has its feet in the water, on the sandy beach. Exceptional setting from which this traditional address benefits, serving plates essentially turned towards the sea. Great choice of charcoal-grilled fish including giant melting shrimps and absolutely delicious crabs. Ideal for a late lunch in the sun but to be avoided in winter, as it is cold. Following a change of ownership, the restaurant no longer serves alcohol.

A very good address where fish is cooked with taste and originality. More refined than most restaurants, Samakmak's cuisine knows just how to dose the quantities of oil, even in the fried dishes, which is rare enough to be noticed! Excellent prawns cooked to perfection and the mezze preceding the main course are just as succulent. Wine and beer are served, which is rare in Anfouchi restaurants. Simple setting, friendly atmosphere and particularly cheerful service.

It's a simple place, but that's all you need to know about the freshness and excellent cooking of the fish. You choose your order from an iced display, then indicate the cooking method you prefer (grilled, fried...). Mezze and fish soup are served while you prepare your dish, which arrives on a nicely laid table. It's often crowded, but there's always a place for you. Note that this is Alexandria's favorite sea-food address and that no alcohol is served.

It's an excellent fish restaurant. The technique is to choose your fish still fresh on the displays of crushed ice, to have it weighed, to choose the desired cooking method (grilled, in the oven with oil and lemon, fried). To make you wait, we'll bring you about fifteen mezze that you shouldn't be afraid of, because the addition is really light. Choose a few sea dates (a kind of mussels), grilled squid, large grilled prawns and a grouper to share, or even a wolf or a pink sea bream... A delight!

The benchmark for fresh fish in Suez. Here you'll find a wide variety of fish and seafood, selected from the glazed display and cooked to your liking. For those who want a change from the traditional boli sangari (grilled fish with vegetables), the kitchen also concocts original recipes with sauces that only they know the secret of. The interior is decorated in a marine style, with tables on the terrace for summer evenings: this is one of the city's most pleasant and delicious restaurants.

At the very end of Alexandria's famous corniche, a pleasant stroll takes you to the harbor, filled with colorful boats. Here you'll find Sabren, a small restaurant where you can feast on fish, of course! You'll be able to sample all types of fresh fish and seafood, depending on the catch of the day. Preparations are more or less spicy, and sometimes even very spicy... The small dining room on the second floor offers a pleasant view of the corniche and the port. The team is particularly friendly. A good stopover in Alexandria!
