Qadoura Bahari

Qadoura Bahari is the original harbour-side branch of the Kadoura seafood family, located on Bahari Street in the El Anfushi district close to Alexandria's fishing harbour. Like its sister branches, it follows the pick-your-own model that defines Alexandria's classic seafood houses: fish, shrimp and calamari are displayed on ice and priced by weight, with diners selecting their catch before the kitchen grills or fries it to order and serves it with Egyptian rice. Signature orders include grilled fish by weight, fried shrimp and calamari, all prepared simply to let the freshness of the harbour catch stand out. The dining room is plain and functional, reflecting its roots as the founding branch of the Kadoura name, with close tables and a working, unpretentious atmosphere shaped by its proximity to the fishing docks. There is no wine or cocktail list; tea and soft drinks accompany the seafood. A meal runs roughly EGP 300-700 per person, consistent with other pick-your-own seafood houses in the neighbourhood. The restaurant is open daily from noon to 1am and does not require reservations, operating comfortably as a walk-in venue for both locals and visitors drawn by its status as the original Kadoura branch. Its Bahari location places it within walking distance of the Eastern Harbour and Qaitbay Citadel.
