A tomato, mozzarella and basil pizza on a wooden board, one slice pulled away.

Alexandria · City centre, Alexandria

Chez Gaby

An Alexandrian trattoria from the 1980s, checked tablecloths included.

€€ Mid-range

Pizzas, pasta, escalopes and Egyptian wine, served in a room unchanged since it opened. One of the city's historic Italian addresses, and one of the few where you dine late on a weekday.

The extra bit

The pizza beats the pasta: the oven is what makes this house.

Know before you go

A small room: book at weekends, especially in winter when terraces close.
