Whole red fish laid out on crushed ice.

Alexandria · Corniche, Alexandria

Fish Market

Fish by weight with a panoramic view over the eastern bay.

€€€ High end

A large glazed room above the Corniche, where you choose from the ice before the kitchen takes over. The fish address Cairenes know, pricier than Bahary's but with the view thrown in.

The extra bit

Ask for salt-baked rather than fried: it is what the house does best.

Know before you go

Book a window table: without it, half the point of the address disappears.
