El Halaka Fish Restaurant

مطعم الحلقة للأسماك

A local seafood spot across from the old fish market beside El Mina Mosque, where you pick your fish to order, with rooftop seating.

Located in the old El Dahar district, directly facing the fish market and next to El Mina Mosque, this two-story, locally styled seafood restaurant lets you pick the day's bream, grouper, squid and octopus from the ice display. They are priced by weight, grilled or fried to order, and served with warm pita bread and hummus. Reviews often mention the seafood soup, shrimp balls and shrimp in tomato sauce. It was named a TripAdvisor 2025 Travelers' Choice. Average spend is about 200 to 1,400 Egyptian pounds, cheaper than the tourist-area restaurants. The rooftop has views of the harbor.
