Restaurant Name: The Fishmarket
A big restaurant where you select your fish. Lots of salads and bread are served with your order-- a meal on its own , so don't fill up. The main meal itself is also several courses from shellfish, small fish and large. There is also a dessert trolley, and finish with mint tea or coffee. Well prepared and good service
Favorite Dish: Again spoiled for choice. But, I'd opt for "meru" - stuffed with herbs and spices and baked in the oven.

Restaurant Name: Hosny's
This restaurant looks as if it is situated in an old warehouse. It is spacious with no frills, but the service is excellent and the food too. It is obviously well patronized by the locals as we saw no other tourists.
Favorite Dish: fofta, kebab and stuffed vine leaves with all the dkps. There was a lot so I was not able to eat it all.

Restaurant Name: Taberna
This restaurant and take away is tucked away almost next to Gad on Mahatat el Raml . Upstairs is the seating area. It is decorated with old pictures, old bits and pieces like an iron, tankards, cauldrons and trays. The walls are white painted brick with wooden beams here and there. Tables are granite topped and everything has a rustic feel. Service is good.
Favorite Dish: The pizzas are excellent with light crisp dough. The 'oriental pies' = fateer, are also tasty, light with a cheese filling.

Elodie_Caroline Mon Jan 14, 2008 11:52 UTC A lovely page Shane, I would love to see a lot of the architecture in Egypt. The Montazah Palace is absolutely beautiful! Hastings smells fishy too lol. | TheLongTone Fri Sep 28, 2007 22:10 UTC Thanks for the birthday greeting & the compliment on my Alex photo. Sometimes the light is with you... Truly sabah an noor. | freddie18 Thu Sep 13, 2007 23:25 UTC Hi Shane. It's beautiful. Alexandria is always on top of my future trip to Egypt. Thanks for sharing. Regards from Toronto | fabrice Sun Apr 8, 2007 08:21 UTC I am sorry alexandria has lost its international atmosphere when there were thousands of jews, greeks, italians and christians ; by the way, I would love to travel to sudan but I am a little scared |
