The best restaurants Luxor

What a little jewel of skill! This two-storey restaurant has a magnificent terrace fully furnished in the old Arab and Ottoman style: carved wooden chairs and tables, dark metal chandeliers and a palm leaf roof. The menu is just as enchanting: a large choice of hot and cold mezzés, traditional dishes such as pigeon or stuffed duck, and of course the very classic fresh fruit juices and shishas with a variety of flavours. For gourmets, the 8 mezze tasting plate is an excellent option.

A clever mix of English and oriental classics make up the menu, which is sure to please expatriates as well as locals. The dishes are copious. The restaurant is a bit off-centre, but it's a small one that's worth it. The owners have opted for an Art Nouveau decor. The staff is very friendly and takes great care. The only downside is that no alcohol is served.

One of the many English restaurants in Luxor, where you can eat very well. Debby, the landlady's got her eye on everything. What's on the plate, but also on the reception of the customers, which she does herself, the staff, the menu... The dishes are of a very good quality, prepared with fresh products. The chicken curry is very good and the lemon pie is delicious. The restaurant is located close to the Hotel Steingenberger. Everybody knows, just give the name of the restaurant to the taxi driver.

A recommended address, especially if you want to wander around the restaurants frequented by the locals. The menu you receive will be without prices. Please ask before ordering.

Probably one of the best koshari in Luxor, this traditional Egyptian dish combines rice, pasta, lentils and chickpeas, all topped with fried onions. Restaurant with two starters.

If the small space doesn't inspire you, you can always pick up your meal and enjoy it at your hotel.
