Le Petit Pêcheur

An excellent dining experience from start to finish. The hospitality was outstanding, and the staff were extremely professional, friendly, and attentive, always making sure everything was perfect. The food was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. I especially enjoyed the grilled sardines perfectly cooked, well seasoned, tender on the inside, and full of rich flavor. Truly delicious. A highly recommended seafood restaurant, and I will definitely be coming back again

First off, no alcohol is served here, this small and clean Mediterranean restaurant is the place to eat away from home. You get to choose your favorite seafood which is then prepared to your liking. There are delicious sides to order from as well. The mint drink is quite tasty and pairs perfectly with the seafood. Desert is also a treat as they serve one of the creamiest crème brûlée 🍮 NINA is such a gentle server, attentive and sweet.

The restaurant is definitely a great option for people who really love fish the dishes are fresh and the presentation is nice. For me personally, the taste was a little too “fishy.” I felt like some plates were missing flavor or seasoning, and the sides could use improvement because they didn’t really complement the fish. It wasn’t bad, just not balanced. Overall, it was an okay experience. If you’re a big seafood lover, you might enjoy it more than I did. The quality of the fish is there, but I think they could work a bit more on flavor and the side dishes.

We visited as a group of three adults and two kids and ordered a variety of seafood plates to share. Everything came out really quickly, which was great, especially with kids at the table! The food was good overall — the seafood soup wasn’t quite my favorite, but the rest of the dishes were tasty and we enjoyed trying different plates together. Service was okay.

Get ready to clutch your pearls: I've not yet been to Abuqir. Gasp! Shock! Horror! Won't someone please think of the CHILDREN??? In my defense, doesn't this mean my review of Le Petit Pecheur (which always makes me think of George Bizet's underrated opera, for all you Romantic Era nerds) wil be...purer? No annoying comparisons and such? I digress. We came, we seafood-ed, we smiled. - Fried Sardines: My favorite dish of the night. Perfectly breaded, lightly crispy, totally filling, yet not briney or heavy. I think I'm in love.... - Baba Ganoush + Hummus + Pita: I forget why we ordered these, but they were tasty and creamy and made a nice distraction while we waited for our entrees. - Grilled Octopus: Perfectly chewy and zesty, exactly the kind of poulpe you might enjoy on the beachy coast of the southern Mediterranean. - Scallops: Also well cooked, and tastier than they had any right to be considering the simple seasoning. - Shrimp Linguine in butter garlic sauce: I mean, you really can't go wrong with a dish like this. My only regret was having to share it with five other friends. - Branzino: Butterflied, tender and full of flavor. There are many branzino dishes out there. This one won't break the bank, and will leave both your stomach and your wallet happy. If you need more, definitely pad your meal with Mashed Potatoes and Fries because carbs are happy things, and happy things deserve to be eaten. Space is ample, as are the portions, and service is quick and friendly. They play a lovely mix of North African French and Arabic music, which just adds to the beachy resort town atmosphere, IMO. Perhaps one day I'll finally make it to Abuqir, and the cycle will be complete.

came all the way from Long Island because we heard so many good reviews and it definitely lived up to it!! service was fantastic, food was INCREDIBLE, definitely a must for any seafood lover. food was seasoned to perfection and atmosphere reminded us of the Middle East again, we loved it and will definitely be back!!

First of all, it's a great restaurant that doesn't serve alcohol. The small but very clean atmosphere allows me to see and choose my seafood, and I can even customize the cooking method, which is satisfying. The food tastes two thumbs up. It's not greasy at all, and the light flavors are balanced with a variety of seasonings to create a fantastic flavor. The garlic butter mussels and sautéed swordfish is phenomenon. Grilled calamari, clams linguine pasta, grilled asparagus, and lemon potatoes were all excellent. Staff is friendly and attentive. I'd love to visit again, and I'd recommend this place.

If you are looking for fresh, high-quality seafood at a great price, look no further! The quality is incredible, you can taste the freshness in every bite. The staff are very friendly and make you feel welcome the moment you walk in; Mateen especially was so helpful! It’s rare to find such a perfect balance of quality and value. Definitely recommended!
