Tondoba Seafood Restaurant
Tondoba Seafood Restaurant and Cafe
A seaside fish restaurant beside the Tondoba Bay diving camp south of town, where fish is cooked to order in a simple, uncrowded setting.
Located about 12 km south of Marsa Alam on the Halaib–Shalateen road, near the eco-diving camp around Tondoba Bay, this open, simple seaside restaurant is airy and unpretentious. Fish is cooked to order: grilled fish comes with spiced rice, salad, tahini and local flatbread, and there is also crispy fried squid, prawns and fish soup. Diners often mention the owner's warm hospitality. Reviews are generally good but have become mixed recently, with some reporting waits of over an hour and dated surroundings. Restaurant Guru lists the average spend at about 800–1,000 EGP per person. Reaching it requires a hired car or self-drive, making it a convenient lunch stop after diving.
