Ebn El Balad.

Located near the waterfront at Gleem Bay, Ebn El Balad offers a straightforward, dual-concept dining experience that bridges the gap between land and sea. The restaurant shares a space with its seafood sibling, Ebn Hamido; upon entering, a turn to the right leads you toward the mixed grill section, while a turn to the left leads to the catch of the day. This is a place where the decor is classic and maritime-inspired, but the atmosphere remains strictly informal and local. The kitchen focuses on traditional Egyptian preparations, prioritizing fresh ingredients over complex techniques. Expect well-charred meats and simple grilled seafood served with essential sides like tahini, garlic, and fresh herbs. It is a reliable, transparently priced spot where the view of the Mediterranean is as unpretentious as the food.
