Excellent place with no menu! You simply choose the fish and ask them to grill or fry. Fresh, clean tasty and value for money!

The Restaurant is a bit dusty, but has a great location (there are more good looking restaurants than this one, in town) with nice sea view but rustique decor. Food is tasty but the price is "spicy" .

Have every type of the freshest seafood. We had grilled seabass and fried calamari. Oriental salad and bread supplied free of charge. All that for $12, and what a view!

I really love the babaganoush and the Tahini appetizers!! Best in all of Egypt and the sea bass melted in my mouth as we overlooked the harbor of the med sea!!!

the view was great as everyone stated. The food was just average, the best part was the fresh pita they serve with many different kind of dippings. I had the grilled fish, with shrimp and calamari. Maybe it was the fish itself, but the flavor was not that great. Service was sufficient, we had our tour guide, so we did... More

The place is well know and luxurious but view and food aren't the best in Alex i am sure :) Or you can say it's just an old name!

Beautiful, panoramic view of the bay. The waiter will direct you to a case with the catch of the day, choose and weigh your fish. I opted for the sole grilled with garlic and herbs. When the dish came I devoured it with the grace of under fed swine-simply put: it was delicious! Salivating now, just remembering my superb meal…yum...salad,... More

delicious, great service Great, but more expensive and not quite as good as the Greek Club/White & Blue (right next to Fort Qiat Bay, no signs in English so a little tricky to find...make sure you go UPSTAIRS, not the downstairs part because it is completely different)

Having been in Cairo for about a week on holiday, we were looking to get some sea food. With Alexandria only a 2 hour drive we decided to make the trip. Driving along the harbor/bay we noticed a familiar name, The Fish Market. We have many here in the states, but I do not know if they are the same... More
