Lovely restaurant with a great view. Food is delicious and service was excellent.

!!! AVOID AVOID AVOID !!! Especially if you have allergy. I chose this place as I've seen it in a few tourist guides and was recommended it by our tour guide as the best restaurant in Alexandria. This turned out to be so far from the truth. Yes, the views are stunning, but the service was terrible and the meat dry as a shoe sole. The service was slow and unprofessional. It took 30 min to get water we ordered, over an h to get the food. Some of the dishes we ordered were tasty. However, one dish we ordered did not correspond to what was on the menu - mixed grill. The meat cuts that arrived were different from what was described in the menu. They seemed cheaper, too, such as liver instead of lamb chops. The meat was also extremely dry. 2 of us had rice, and that was tasty, but the chicken in the rice was also dry. One of us, due to gluten intolerance, had to avoid flour, and after asking 3 times, they still brought a dish with flour in it. She tried the dish after being assured that there was no flour in it, and after a few min, the waiter came back saying that there was flour. She also then offered a replacement dish. Thankfully, our friend wasn't deadly allergic, but such behaviour is unacceptable. If it were someone with a tough allergy, it could have finished really badly. She We were also initially sent a waiter who speaks no English, which was extremely unprefosianal as he didn't even know the menu (in French nor in English), and we had to ask for a replacement. In the end, who seemed to be a head waiter tried to fix the mistake by offering some sweets and complimentary dessert, but no one offered to take off the bill or reduce the price of the dishes they got wrong. We didn't even eat the mixed grill as the dish was just so badly done and not what expected. Advice to the restaurant: Ask for allergies, and if a guest informs you about theirs, then check until you are 100% sure as this can finish in death. If you advertise a dish on the menu and you don't have it in that moment, then just say that you don't and offer something else instead of trying to mask your mistake and hoping that the customer is stupid enough not to remember what they ordered (if you are advertising lamb chops then serve them eather than chicken liver).

A very elegant restaurant with excellent service. Stanley bridge with the moving water of the sea give this restaurant a lovely view .. its old walls and paintings, wood work, old music add to its special atmosphere. Food is delicious, quite big portions. I really enjoyed my late lunch

Dear Mr Wasseem … I am a big fan of yours … whenever I visit Alexandrie I have to have dinner at your famous restaurant..: but things have changed suddenly … the food doesn’t taste the same … the service is not the same … a lot of order mistakes … its a dangerous syndrome that happens to Luxury heritage Brands called the Old lion Syndrome… where the old king so lazy to hunt and rely on his famous old position … but the forest always understand that the lion became week and lazy and the monkeys can take this opportunity and claim the kingdom… you need a new fresh start

Profesional service, Tasty food, high level of cleanliness and order. I'm really so happy to find a restaurant like this. Thank you for the good hosting ☺☺

Very fancy but the food is bad. Calamari came in Michelin consistency, the meat in the mixed grill plate was dry and looked like it’s glory days were long gone. Just like San Giovanni. I would definitely skip. And warn others from eating there. Avoid at all cost.

I wanted to add my review months ago but here we go now. I used to go there in winter so it wasn't crowded and nice. People who work there make u feel fancy. The food was awesome and my favorite was this chicken apple salad(had a name that I can't remember). One time on a busy day, I ordered the salad and it was all messed up so maybe the place isn't that good when it's full of people.

Place is good but a little bit old. Furniture needs to be updated. Food is very good and yummy, but a little bit costly.

An old time Alexandrian's favourite but there's a slight drop in quality. However it's still among the best restaurants in Alexandria with a chic crowd and old school hospitality.

Napkin had stains,when I asked for another one it wasn’t super clean as well Salad was good & main course was tasty . I didn’t like Tiramisu , it was more like vanilla sponge cake with cream chantille not with mascarpone as it should be

Food and drinks are delicious they also give you a dessert. No all restaurant give a dessert. Please no give always fried potato no all foreign people love potatoes you can chance for salad Have a great view to the beach you can see people swimming.

Lovely atmosphere, very nice food, live music...simply perfect for a romantic dinner

The location is great and I really wanted to try it out. Walked in to booked a table for dinner, but the receptionist has successfully put me off by her derogatory attitude; not welcoming, avoiding eye contact and not interested in doing her job. Hopefully they can reflect on this and improve their service.

Great food and great live music.... wonderful ambience......a quant restaurant taking you back to the ambience of an era gone by

Always a great visit, same service and taste since old days

I’m convinced that this is the best restaurant in Alexandria, just wow. Every bite took me on a ride to dance town, I was legit dancing in my seat throughout this whole meal. Try the shrimp soup, lasagna and the San jack!!! It was AMAZZZZINGG!! Top 3 in my life. Beautiful ambience, insanely unbelievable view, phenomenal service from the best server in all of the midddle East!! Ask for Eslam he was simply THE BESTTTT!!! Very elegant smart funny and classy gentleman!

Excellent opportunity for lunch with a view. :)

The food and service were terrible. There were 5 of us all with different food. All bad. One of the worst meals of my life (and we waited 1.5 hours for it!!)

Live irresistible songs,delicious food,friendly staff,bohemian crystal glasses,silver utensils,it is a wow old fashioned restaurant.

One of my favorite spots in Alex. The food is so heartwarming. Reminded me of my grandmothers cooking. Great selection of food, well cooked. Hospitable and professional staff. Nice view of Stanley bridge and the sea. Makes a good spot for a romantic dinner. I highlight recommend their seafood pasta, grilled chicken and Pesto Pasta 👌🏼

Same old good quality food and service

Excellent service the lady apple salad is good. Nice view. The fiellet au champignon is excellent ordered medium well. The rice is good.

The service here is always great and the food, shisha, and drinks are amazing! Can’t help but go here a few times a week.
