The 15 best bars and drinks in Alexandria (2024)

White &Blue is a seafood restaurant that overlooks the Alexandria harbor. The menu features Greek dishes and some seafood options. Alcohol is served, and there is outdoor seating with a great view of the water.

If you are touring Alex then this restaurant should be on your to-do list. All my fellow foreigner friends have eaten here and recommended it so we went. And since then, each time we have come it has been an amazing experience because of two things- 1: the atmosphere feels like Greece especially from the view overlooking all the boats and 2: because the seashell beshamel dish is literally the best culinary invention ever. We would go anywhere just for that dish regardless of restaurant ambiance. Service was also good. I do recommend making a reservation though because otherwise you will wait for a table by the balcony. This place is a tradition for us now every time we come to Alex. We'll be back!

Amazing view. Literally a game changer.Good service, however, you might have to wait a little for the waiter to come over and take your order.The food was fine, but far from being really Greek. Tzatziki did not really taste the way Greeks prepare it. I loved the prawn spaghetti tho.All in all, a good place to hang out, but slightly disappointing since it is ranked as one of the best restaurants in Alexandria

The restaurant is located in the Greek club along the water front. We did not have a lunch reservation but they were nice enough to find us a table overlooking the water. Strongly suggest a reservation even for lunch.The grilled salmon with spinach was very good, and not a heavy meal. The seafood soup sadly lacked any flavor and was disappointing. The White and Blue specialty dish is very creamy and rich.

The view is just great. Looking over the boats. The decoration is really cool, greek style and colors. They have outdoor and indoor areas but definitely the outdoor is the most common one. I ordered fried calamari and tagen of it as well. Both were perfect for me. Also tried the butterfly and grilled shrimps but didn’t like it so much. The presentation of the butterfly shrimps were different and tasted so normal. Same goes for the taste of the grilled shrimps. I tried one of Ramadan drinks (kharoub) and it was really yummy. Prices are above average.

A fabulous venue.Phenomenal location (next to the castle), superb interior design, Greek-style (the owner, Yannick, lives between Egypt and Greece), attentive staff, discrete Greek mandolin music in the background, supreme food quality, impressive view from the terrace - over the bay with tens of boats floating.Worth every recommendation.Ευχαριστώ!

The restaurant is inside the Greek club, at the first floor. Elevator available. It's always better to book a table to be sure to get one outdoors, with a beautiful view on the bay of Alex. The service is very good, the food is amazing. A selection of beers and wines is available. The appetizers from the sea are a must. A selection of appetizers is enough to make you happy and full! We spent 2 days in Alex, and of course had lunch 2 times here. Everything is perfect

Beautiful view of the sea and entire city. Indoor and outdoor seating but without AC. Reservations prefered. Pricey. Decent quality seafood, average portions, overpriced. You get to pick the fresh fish. Friendly staff. Serves alcohol, including imported wine.

We stopped by after visiting the citadel next door and the food was delicious, service was excellent, and the view was just incredible from the outside seating. We picked our fish and the waiter (Mohamed Ashraf) recommended how to cook each fish and it turned out really tasty. The entire team was very helpful and friendly, thank you Emad and Tamer for all the help and service you provided. Definitely will be back.The place is busy so make reservations beforehand.

Very nice place to dine in with the best view to the city. But I recommend to visit it in day light as it will be better to enjoy their meals while seeing the view.The food was amazing, I ordered the prawns with spaghetti, seafood rice and caviar.The caviar was a story by itself. So delicious and so good.Their service is great and they are so professional and respectful but they can smile more😅.

The famous spot appeal is possibly related to a Nostalgic feel more than anything else. Embraced within the historic Qaitbay Citadel, the club is overlooking the Yachts Marina with a wide view of Alexandria coast. Every visit to the city includes the Greek-Club as a compulsive act to steal those nostalgic moments & mood for a social Era that we long for and that have disappeared long ago. And as compulsory as the visit, we traditionally ordered their cold & hot Mezza along with cold beer and guiltlessly end up paying a small fortune just for the sake of reliving childhood memories. Try their Tzatziki/ Tarama / Greek Salad (ofcourse) / Grilled or Fried Calamari / Melizanosalata (grilled eggplant salad). The Menu have variety of dishes and they are expensive. They use very good olive oil and good quality ingredients in general. The restaurant is clean, staff are polite and professional. Preferably make a reservation before showing up and enjoy the breeze and the view. Avoid Weekends if you want a proper restaurant experience.

Amazing view and quiet location far away from the chaos of Alexandria streets. It really feels like being in Greece! The food was great and truly original Greek, we tried several dishes of seafood and appetizers and all of them were fantastic. The wine was also very good and the service friendly and quick. Probably one of the best restaurants in Alexandria, make sure you call to book a table in advance!

I went on a date night with my wife and enjoyed every single moment. The food was delicious, and especially thr appetizers. Also the view was mouthwatering where you can see the beauty of Alexandria.

Someone told this is the best seafood restaurant in the whole of Egypt . I thought he was exaggerating. And yet that was exactly my conclusion after a delightful dinner with a company of 5 people that we shared 10 different dishes. Each and every one of these dishes was simply perfect from every aspect. The price in € was excellent value for money (spring 2024). Service was impeccable. And yes after 15 years of visiting Egypt I would agree 100% with the friend who made the comment. By far the best seafood restaurant in the whole of Egypt

We are greeks and recently visited Alexandria so decided to have dinner in this place due to its location and greek food.The restaurant is quite pretty and has nice ambience and atmosphere, the staff is welcoming and kind but we found the food quite mediocre. We had high expectations according to the reviews we read here before going butwe found our food tasteless and boring like it was missing good ingredients or salt.The view is definitely wonderful but the food quality and taste kinda ruined it for us

If you are visiting Alexandria, then this place is considered one of the attractions that you must see. Booking is very important, especially at weekends.Best time ⏲️ is during sunset 🌇, the service and the food quality are unique. The prices are little higher but it worth the experience.
