South Lagoon Seafood Restaurant
South Lagoon
The most consistently rated seafood spot on the seafront, where you pick the day's catch from the fridge and have it grilled or cooked to order, popular with locals and tourists alike.
Located on the seafront in Marsa Alam, beside the fishing club, this venue also runs a beach bar and café, with seating both indoors and outdoors. There is no fixed menu. You choose from the day's sea bream, grouper, barracuda, prawns, squid or lobster at the fridge, then have it grilled or cooked in a tagine, served with Egyptian rice, hummus and salad. The fish soup is often praised. Tripadvisor lists it as a budget restaurant, and recent diners reported about 80 EUR for four people including drinks. Since there's no fixed menu, prices fluctuate, so ask before ordering. Sunset views are best, and it's advisable to book in peak season. It is a few minutes by taxi from the town centre.
