Taberna: Pizza anyone? Mediterranean food Review

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.

Address: Mahatat el Raml

Comparison: least expensive

Directions: almost next to Gad.

Price: less than US$10

Tikka: watch the boats while you eat

The restaurant is in a complex next door to the Fishmarket Restaurant. It is clean and well situated to view the bay. Service is good and the food excellent. with a wide choice of dishes on the menu. Salad is selected from the buffet and again there is a wide choice.
It is up to most international standards.

Favorite Dish: The salads were excellent. We had a selection of kufta and kebab, mixed grill, and for the seafoood afficionados the calamari was greatly appreciated [best ever].

Address: on Corniche at western end

Hosny's: Like being in a barn traditional&local Egyptian food Review

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.

Address: near Ras el Tin

Comparison: about average

Directions: not sure exactly, but any taxi driver could give directions

Price: less than US$10

The Fishmarket: Fresh from the Sea Seafood restaurants Review

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.

Address: west end of the bay

Comparison: most expensive

Directions: along the Corniche

Price: US$11-20
