The restaurant is a simple design, nothing extra, but fairly big, they have two floors full of tables (plus the entrance on the groundfloor). When we were there, a lot of local people ate there (maybe it was only crowded due to the Ramadan, when everybody eats at the same time during the day when the sun goes down). We had a whole meal organized by our TourGuide so we didn't order off the menu. They brought a lot of appetizers with the Pita bread, then fried Octopus ("Calamari") and one fish for each of us (as You can see on the picture). It was very tasty, I ate some Octopus, even though I'm not a great fan of it. The fish and the appetizers were delicious! The drinks were very expensive, though, and they didn't have cold beer, only the soft drinks were cold.

....so I'll have to give good directions. I found this place while looking for somewhere else with a bad map and sketchy directions. After a couple of passes I figured this place was obviously a fish restaurant and although not the one I was looking for my stomach was saying past dinnertime. I wasn't let down: in fact I went back a couple of nights later. Good fresh seafood properly cooked is always a delight and no compaints at all here, but there's more. Excellent seafood soup with lumps of crustaceam to dissect, great spiced rice and very good accompanying salads. And the portions were exactly the right size too. And excellent service. Not obsequeious but thoroughly professional.
Both times the bill was a modest 50 LE or so, which I think is fairly modest for what I ate and the general quality of the experience. The Corniche turns to the left, leaving the shorelineand cutting across to the western harbour, as you near Quait Bey. Continue along for 100 metres or so (past a fish market....you're obviously in the right sort of area) then, before the road bend to the left again, there's a sort of little square on your right... It's obviously a restaurant, tables outside and smart wrought-iron chairs, with the fish on display in a seperate building.
