Grilled squid and a prawn, with a roasted lemon wedge.

Alexandria · City centre, Alexandria

Cap d'Or

An Art Nouveau tavern serving beer and prawns for a century.

€ BudgetOur favourite

A narrow room decorated with wrought iron and old mirrors, run as a neighbourhood bar: cold beer, octopus, garlic prawns, calamari. The last of Alexandria's Greek café-taverns still working in this form.

The extra bit

Order garlic prawns and a cold beer, nothing else: that is the house order.

Know before you go

A tiny, noisy room, often full in the evening: tables get shared readily.
