Restaurants cuisine d'Afrique Aswan

If you only go to the restaurant in Aswan once, go in front of Egypt Air, along the cornice, to take the shuttle that will take you to the small island. After a fire in 2017, the site was completely rebuilt and the Nubian atmosphere restored, from the decoration to the plate. Prefer the terrace to the hall, the setting is magical. You will find Nubian specialities: grilled meat, tajines, mezze, salads, rice... Service somewhat overwhelmed in high season.

Restaurant on three levels on the banks of the Nile. You can either choose to gaze at the river and stay on land or dine in the boat and feel the lapping and swirling of the Nile. Being below the level of the Corniche, you also put away its hubbub to better appreciate the view. The menu of traditional Egyptian dishes is unpretentious but flawless. It also offers pasta and pizza specialties and, of course, mint tea and chichas! Very busy in season, it is sometimes necessary to be a little patient.

It is not easy to find a decent local restaurant in Aswan without finding oneself in the big hotels of the city. The al-Masri restaurant is a good alternative to the big hotels. The restaurant doesn't look like much, but you can eat well and at a low cost. Just a stone's throw from the cornice and five minutes from the train station, everyone knows this typical Egyptian grill restaurant. Not far from the souk too. The reception's nice. There are more locals than tourists, which is a good sign! We eat there pretty quickly.

The Makani restaurant has a pleasant, airy room on the banks of the Nile, with a cheerful, colorful decor. The cuisine is simple and spicy, with the majority of traditional Egyptian dishes on offer. Here, beef and chicken come in all shapes and sizes, deliciously flavored with locally-grown spices. The owner, like his team, is friendly and concerned about the well-being of each and every one of his customers. Pleasant background music punctuates the evening.
