It seems that Alexandria’s getting overlooked in Egypt in favor of Sahel, butย the cityย still has some of the best views of theย Mediterranean Sea. These are some restaurants to enjoy your food alongsideย amazing views of theย waterfront and city skyline:
#1 White and Blue Restaurant at the Greek Club
This restaurant at the Greek Club serves Greek food with amazing views of the harbor. It includesย the famous view of parked sailing and fishing boats. The best time isย lunch or dinnerย to enjoy the sea breezeย atย outdoor tables.ย Be sure to go atย sunsetย time to catch a stunning dusk view of Alexandria, or nighttime to see the bright-light Corniche come alive. The seafood and Greek salads are excellent; make sure to try out the octopus appetizer! A worthy tip is to avoid shrimps since they’re notย always fresh.
#2 Byblos Restaurant
Byblos is a Lebanese restaurant at the luxurious Four Seasons San Stefano. There are other restaurants to choose from at the hotel but this one has an amazing view of the Mediterranean. The delicious Lebanese cuisineย is also a good breakย from seafood. More pricey than other options but an elegant dining experience. Go for mixed grill, mezzes, and fattah.
#3 Fish Market
#4 Blue Harbor Roof Restaurant & Cafรฉ
Blue Harbor Roof Terrace is located in theย Paradise Inn – Windsor Palace Hotelย on Alexandria’s Corniche. The food is pretty standard but the views are really great and give a better panoramic view than other restaurants. Go for breakfast, coffee or other drinks rather than lunch and enjoy the fresh air and rooftop vibes.
17 Elย Shohada Street, El Geish Road, Alexandria.
#5 Zephere Restaurant
Another great seaside restaurant that servesย one of the bestย seafood meals in Alexandria. The shrimps, calamari and sol are good here. It is further away from the downtown area so it has aย quieter outdoorย setting but can get crowdedย during the weekends.
29 Al Kornish, Al Max, Qesm Alย Dekhilah, Alexandria. Menu here.
#6 Seagull
Also near Zephere, this seafood restaurant is more spaciousย inย outdoor seating. The food is delicious across the board, from fish to shrimp to soups. Go in the afternoon or sunset time. Seagullย is closer to the shore than the other restaurants so you can really enjoy the sea breeze and fresh air.
