Zephyrion
زفيريون
An old-established seafood restaurant founded in 1929 on Abu Qir Bay, featuring a blue-and-white terrace facing the sea.
Founded in 1929 by a Greek family, Zephyrion is located in Abu Qir, about 20 kilometers east of the city center. Its blue-and-white terrace sits right on the bay, making it ideal for watching the sunset. You can choose fresh seafood of the day to be cooked to order; the grilled shrimp and Singari-style fish are highly rated, alongside stuffed squid and grilled sea bass served with various small side dishes. Reviews are mixed: some love the atmosphere and freshness, while others feel the service is slow, prices are a bit high, and the flavor is not what it used to be. Some diners also noted that alcohol is no longer served. Given the distance, allow plenty of travel time; you can take a taxi and combine it with a trip to the Abu Qir area.
