Alexandria · Corniche, near the Bibliotheca

Tikka Grill

Grills and seafood facing the sea, steps from the Bibliotheca.

€€€ High end

A large Corniche table, valued for its mixed grills and its bay view. The practical address after a Bibliotheca visit, and one of the few in the area serving late.

The extra bit

The mixed grill for two costs less than two separate mains, and covers everything.

Know before you go

Parking is hard on the Corniche: come by taxi rather than by car.
