    The food here was great! Lots of vegetarian and vegan options. Asked to sit in the sun but was told we couldn’t as it was too windy. Halfway through our meal they let other people sit there which was disappointing. The service wasn’t the best. Had to put my hand up multiple times to get attention from staff who were just standing around chatting to each other. The vibes were lovely and peaceful until a large party came in. The restaurant was unprepared for the booking and had to move lots of tables and chairs creating so much noise. Instead of lifting the chairs they were just dragging them which was so loud and unpleasant. When we paid the bill the waiter left me short on the change. Not good. Anyway, food was great so I would go back.

Highly Recommend the breakfast The beans tasteless Omlette was good White cheese with tomatoes & olive oil was amazing Hummus & falafel was good but expensive... Fresh baked bread 10000/10

    The location is wonderful but the food is not great while the dessert is average. Generally an experience you would like to repeat because of the location mainly.

    The place has a breathtaking view in the corner of Alex heart in front of the citadel. The food is average, however, the service is very good. Thank you to Gaber for the outstanding service.

    Fabulous restaurant, elegant, helpful, and friendly staff, great deserts, food, and sweets. Fantastic view at the top floor over Alsaid club نادي الصيد. Good service. Disadvantages. Needs previous reservation. Expensive. The amount of food is not capacious, but it's enough and great. This restaurant is very much recommended in Alexandria.

  • 5/5 Akinomi S. 1 year ago on Google
    I enjoyed dinner for four we paid 1500 pounds for pizza, seafood mix, 3 soups and 2 other meals ( meat and salad) that's a lot i guess but for dinner in such a nice atmosphere it was worth it. I had the seat by the window, view was amazing something hard to find in Alex. Will return for morning 🌅 view and breakfast.

    Excellent place. Good value. It's open before 1 pm, where some of the neighboring restaurants are not. I tried food for the first time and enjoyed most of it. The one I didn't wasn't necessarily bad, I just didn't like the taste. Good location if you're shopping in the chaos outside.

    I had a great experience at this restaurant. We arrived without a reservation, but they were accommodating and friendly. It was refreshing to find English-speaking staff, making communication easy. The food was absolutely delicious, and the flavors were on point. The restaurant offers an amazing view, making it a perfect place to meet with a friend and enjoy a nice conversation. I would definitely come here again. +Food +prices - no negatives

  • 3/5 Joe R. 1 year ago on Google
    Great location for sure, however the quality of food disappointed us. We ordered 2 appetizers and a dish for dinner, unfortunately both appetizers were neither seasoned nor fresh. The dish was too salty. Moreover you can’t simply go there have a drink or two and enjoy the view, it’s mandatory to order food, which we expected to be at least good, but we were very disappointed of the quality of food they serve. Last but not least, expect to pay double the amount you planned to pay. This place would be worth going to again, if the food was at least fair or if they excluded the obligatory food rule.

    Great views and a wide selection of Lebanese food - the service is good, the views, even if you’re seated inside ( try to book a table out on the terrace overlooking the Corniche) are breathtaking

    Best breakfast in Alex. Location is amazing and the food didn't disappoint. Falafel, eggs, fries, manousha, even the orange juice was excellent. Service was also good. Doesn't have private parking, but you can park in the citadel's area for 10 LE.

    The view is amazing, I went on a very short notice without previous reservation and the staff was really helpful in trying to find us a good spot. The food was tasty and the quality is great and also decent prices. Music choice in the place is excellent for Fayroz lovers. It was really relaxing excellent experience.

    Simply amazing....the view, the staff, and the food. The staff is very welcoming, friendly, and professional; the restaurant has an amazing view of the coastline. The restaurant is very clean and the bathroom is very well kept; the glassware and silverware were wrapped with cling film to prevent contamination. A bit pricey, but the portions are very generous and the food is delicious.

    I enjoyed my visit The service is so good abd everyone was very accommodating We had 3 items, falafel Saj, that was pretty awesome, very filling and good in size, zaatar and cheese saj, was crispy on the outside and full of flavors, and the zaatar and cheese Manoucheh and this is where it went wrong, it didn’t taste like zaatar and the dough was hugeee relative to the toppings They served us complementary bread, butter and jam but the bread was too little relative to the jam and butter which was a bit odd I wanted a strawberry smoothie, it was on the menu, yet the server said that it’s unavailable because it’s out of season.. so I think the menu should say seasonal fruit or something Overall I would revisit again I enjoyed the view a lot The prices are very fair and the portions were good

    The view during this time of year (February) is wonderful! You can see the boats in the water and it is very pretty. The food is also very good. I liked the grilled sea bass.

  • 5/5 Rudina H. 3 months ago on Google • 33 reviews New

    Great vista of the corniche. Welcome reprieve from the heat after visiting the Citadel. Breakfast until 1pm. Lunch from 1pm.

    Nice place have a good view ، Tasty foodsbut you won't get the real taste of Lebanesefood but it's okay, perfect service , even the music is a thing you really would enjoy it , but as usual it will cost you a lot to have such things $$$

  • 4/5 D. Ing. HASSAN A. 2 years ago on Google
    Very good location on Alexandria Eastern Harbor. Amazing view. Partly open air. Nice tables and chairs. Medium size Resturant. Limited food variety more to Lebanese cuisine. Staff needs training. Slow service. Limited variety of food dishes.

  • 5/5 Ahmed S. 2 years ago on Google
    Amazing restaurant , interior , location , view and the food presentation and quality are top notch . Been in so many Lebanon places in dubai but this restaurant in Alex won my heart and appetite. Will visit every time I’m in Alex

  • 5/5 ramy e. 2 years ago on Google
    Amazing location ,, best view in Alexandria . It is quite expensive but it worth it . Try clay pot ( sausage with cheese ) ,, it is phenomenal

  • 5/5 Basit 1 year ago on Google
    Amazingly good food, views, atmosphere and service. What a nice place next to the Citadel!! A must go place. I tried grilled fish and mango juice - OMG what a great chef they have! Great

  • 5/5 Frank L. 1 year ago on Google
    This isn’t cheap, for two we paid 1000 EGP including about 100 in baksheesh. However, this place should not be missed if you want a special night out. A well decorated and scenic walkway leads to an impeccably decorated interior. The dishes were mouthwatering and the drinks were creative. Seafood is their specialty, and that’s what we would recommend.

  • 5/5 Christine G. 11 months ago on Google
    Oh yes, I was a bit reluctant because of the few bad reviews but no worries…They must have been having a bad day…lol Fantastic views, service, and food. Best hummus in Egypt! Would dine here again and again!

  • 3/5 Muhammad G. 1 year ago on Google
    The fine diner is amazingly located in the best sea view area, indoor and outdoor seating areas, awesome decorations and professional staff. We tried to reserve but no one answered our calls hence we were offered the high tables only which were okay. We ordered pane with spaghetti, grilled shish tawooq, fillet fish and chicken shawerma. They are all however the shawerma was remarkable and tasty. The vegetables and fries were delicious as well. The serving was not the best and has to be improved and the rates are exaggerated.
