I loved their food and it's located on an old abundant cruise ship. The service is poor, staff is focused on few tables and not attentive. Food was good and nicely cooked.
My favorite restaurant in Cairo. The service is outstanding, and the food is always delicious. The open salad bar is consistently fresh. I've come here 18 times in just one month, and this place has truly become the dining room of my home in Cairo. My recommendation is to head to the fresh fish counter first and choose your seafood there instead of ordering directly from the menu. I highly recommend the grilled calamari and grilled shrimp. Pick them yourself and have them grilled fresh—it makes all the difference. Thank you to everyone on the service team. It would be impossible to mention each of you by name, but you've all always treated me with kindness and made me feel at home.
This is one of the best seafood restaurant I ever dined with. Food is authentic Egyptian style. All seafood are super fresh. In the cold appetizer I was debating between Crab Shell and Tuna Tataki. After the waiter described the crab shell I decided to give it a try. It was such a right decision. The crab meat tasted as fresh as they were just caught from the sea! I also recommend their Seafood Tajin. It has a very rich flavor with mixed seafood. The price is very reasonable consider it is a high end Nile river front view venue. I also had a nice story to share. After I finished dinner and walked out for a while, a waiter rushed and caught up us, and handed me my sunglasses which I left behind on the dining table! I am flying out of Cairo in just a few hours and would otherwise no chance to get the glasses back! I am really touched. The restaurant's staffs are definitely well trained with decency and put customer on the top. If you ever tour to Cairo, you must dine this restaurant. You will not regret and will have a wonderful experience.
Here’s a well-rounded review you can use: ⸻ I recently visited Catchy Fish and More and had a really enjoyable experience. The food was fresh, well-cooked, and full of flavour—especially the fish, which was perfectly crispy on the outside and tender inside. The portion sizes were generous, making it great value for money. The menu offers a nice variety beyond just classic fish and chips, so there’s something for everyone. The staff were friendly and welcoming, and the service was quick even during busy times. The atmosphere is casual and comfortable, making it a good spot whether you’re grabbing a quick takeaway or sitting down for a relaxed meal. Overall, a reliable place for quality food, and I’d definitely recommend giving it a try if you’re in the area.
Visited in February 2026. Egypt 🇪🇬, Cairo. A large and spacious restaurant located on a boat with beautiful views over the Nile. The interior is elegant, featuring a large seafood display and a salad bar. The atmosphere feels refined yet relaxed, with a scenic setting that makes the experience even more enjoyable. FOOD: There is a wide selection of seafood, including a large display of freshly caught fish, prawns, and other seafood that can be prepared in various ways upon request. In addition to the menu dishes, there is a salad bar included with main orders — offering fresh vegetables, spreads, and sides, all of good quality. We selected fish and prawns directly from the display and had them grilled. We also ordered several items from the menu. The bisque soup was rich and flavorful, with a pronounced shrimp taste. They add roe, which may not appeal to everyone but adds depth to the dish. The seafood kofta was not exactly what we expected — rather than grilled patties, they were breaded and slightly oily. Still tasty, but heavier than anticipated. The seafood tagine was more like a stew and didn’t stand out in terms of flavor. On the other hand, the dynamite shrimp and gyoza were very good, especially the shrimp — the coating was light and crispy. Presentation across all dishes was beautiful and creative. While not every plate was executed perfectly, everything cooked on the grill was flawless. SERVICE: Service was excellent. Our waiter, Abdallah, was knowledgeable, attentive, and made us feel truly welcome. He guided us confidently through the menu and ensured everything ran smoothly. VERDICT: One of the best seafood restaurants in Cairo. Delicious food, excellent service, and a pleasant atmosphere without unnecessary pretension. Prices are surprisingly reasonable for the quality and location. Highly recommended for seafood lovers visiting Cairo.
