Le Corsaire
Pêcherie Le Corsaire
A long-established seafood restaurant beside the Place de la République in the old town, widely regarded as Oran's best-known fish restaurant, where you can choose fresh fish and have it cooked to order.
Located at 9 Place de la République in the Sidi El Houari old town, near the fishing harbor, the seafront and the Bey's Palace. It is often called Oran's most famous seafood restaurant. Its signature dishes are Spanish-style seafood paella, fish soup and stuffed sardines. You can also pick the day's fresh fish at the ice display and have it grilled or fried. The décor is simple, and prices are moderate for local seafood restaurants, at about 2,000–3,000 dinars per person. It serves lunch and dinner, is closed for lunch on Fridays (sources vary slightly), and weekend dinners are best booked by phone. The neighboring La Mouette II is a similar fish restaurant.
