The best restaurants in Egypt 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.

Here you can choose to eat either in a typical souk alley or on the incredible roof terrace of the Nefertiti Hotel. From the roof terrace, you have a front row seat to admire the Avenue of the Sphinxes and the Temple of Luxor. The menu offers traditional Egyptian dishes, served by a smiling and dynamic staff. Don't miss your chance to taste the famous Camel Burger. Fans of strong meat will probably find this sandwich delicious. A restaurant that guides you to new Egyptian discoveries.

A smart restaurant where you can eat very well, this is a good address.

You have to pass through the owner's outdoor kitchen before you can take a seat in this little restaurant. Once inside, there's plenty of time to watch her at work, cutting and stirring all sorts of dishes. All grilled meats are served with soup, rice, salad and potato stew: a sure-fire way to fill up on the way out. 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. The first one on the main street is filled with flapjacks. To avoid them, take the second entrance, which is behind the Mummy Museum. The staff of this small restaurant is very nice and friendly. If the small space doesn't inspire you, you can always pick up your meal and enjoy it at your hotel.

The New Oum Hashim Restaurant may not look like much, but it comes highly recommended by Luxor locals. In this small downtown restaurant, you'll find a 100% Egyptian atmosphere in a simple yet clean setting. On the plate, you'll come to this address to feast on meat dishes: kebab, kofta and stuffed pigeon are all on the menu. The flavors on offer are worthy of the finest gourmet addresses, and the welcome is local and very friendly. We recommend it!
