SEA GULL

Egyptian restaurant €€
4/5
1 review

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.

MOHAMMED AHMED

Egyptian restaurant

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.

TAVERNA

Egyptian restaurant

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.

ANA MISHO

Egyptian restaurant

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 ..

SABER

Egyptian restaurant

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.

ZEPHYRION

Egyptian restaurant €€

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.

SAMAKMAK

Egyptian restaurant €€

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.

AROUS EL-BAHR

Egyptian restaurant €€

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.

SABREN RESTAURANT

Egyptian restaurant

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!
