Fares Seafood Restaurant Old Market al-shaba مطعم فارس للماكولات البحرية

Order 4 dishes, the crab is not the crab I ordered. It’s not fresh at all, it’s stingy and meat is like tofu . Shrimp is good but less than I ordered, it’s only 7 while I counted as 9 when I ordered. Only mussel is ok with the quantity and quality. I don’t recommend this seafood restaurant to the tourists

FARES Seafood Restaurant offers an exceptional dining experience with a perfect ambiance and outstanding flavors. The seafood is incredibly fresh and delicious, truly a standout. However, the prices are on the higher side, which might not suit all budgets. Despite that, it's worth the splurge for seafood lovers looking for top-quality dishes.

Delicious great quality food. You can either pick what you want from the menu, for example my dad ordered fish and chips, or you can go and pick your fresh fish from the counter just outside the restaurant and then get seated. My dad didn't like the fish and chips but that's because we are comparing it to the traditional fish and chips we get back home in England and of course you aren't going to get the same thing in Africa. If you are unsure of what to pick on the fish counter you can say how many grams you want to eat or how many people you are or how many will be eating the whole fish, and the guys at the counter can direct you to get an appropriate size fish. I didn't see any fillets there just whole fish in different sizes. We personally like grilled white fish and it was enough for 3 adults! I also highly recommend the yellow rice that has the calamari, baby crabs and shrimps, i personally didn't eat the calamari but the shrimps are delicious and the rice is very buttery and soft! I have been to Fares twice though and the first time i am almost certain i got food poisoning for a good week because I had 2-3 of the baby crabs served on the yellow rice back in May 2024. I am certain because me and my parents ate exactly the same food on our whole trip except i ate the crabs and my parents didn't and it was from that night when i had the stomach issues. I don't think it's the restaurant's fault i think it's just because the crab can't be totally washed from the sea water as it has a lot of small spaces that can't be reached to clean. Highly recommend though as it's the most reputable fish restaurant in sharm el sheikh. Definitely get the tabouleh! Also they bring large water to your table without you asking for it and you have to pay for it in the end but it's not expensive, but it's an added billed item. Total for 3 adults cost 1527 le = £24.60

The food was great and the service was amazing Fresh seafood and fresh fish They do it Egyptian style so too much spices for my taste but it was delicious The team was very friendly and accommodating I highly recommend it when in sharm for some great affordable clean seafood experience

Great seafood at reasonable prices! Everything was very tasty, including the starters. The freshly baked bread was delicious. The seafood soup was outstanding—I had never had such a tasty seafood soup before. The waiters were polite and attentive, but I would appreciate it if the staff paid more attention to hygiene. It was cool inside!

Overall great experience. It was a little bit crowded on the seafood selection stand. We had an Egyptian friend with us to select the fish and way of cooking. We were seated by the window and the food was prepared quickly. The taste was great. Service is fast and professional. Great view to the street at Old Market. Very reasonable pricing compared to Europe.

The most delicious see food that you may ever eat, staff are great, prices are quite above average for this area.

Honestly, the food was quite disappointing. The fish and shrimp didn't taste fresh at all. However, the price was reasonable. Actually, we didn't even finish our order.
