A
Tanta Waa Coffeeshop & Restaurant
This super-chilled and creatively clad mudbrick cafe at Cleopatra’s Bath is the perfect place for a cool drink or tasty meal in between splashes in the spring. The food here is surprisingly good, with a small selection of salads, pastas, meat dishes and fruit smoothies. The lasagne alone, which follows a genuine Italian recipe, is worth the trip out here. Slung with hammocks and with a background of funky tunes (it also occasionally holds evening parties), it’s easy to while away an entire day at this haven.

Dunes Restaurant
With tables set under the palm trees and a large menu covering everything from herbal tea to couscous, Dunes is just another place to hang out and relax. The usual traveller stalwarts (from pancakes to smoothies) can be found here, as well as local specialities such as stuffed pigeon (by special order). Sheesha s are de rigueur and the owner can arrange special evenings with traditional Siwan music.

Nour al-Waha
A popular hang-out in a palm grove,Nour al-Waha has shady tables, and plenty of tea and games on hand for those who just want to while away the day in the shade. The food is a mixture of Egyptian and Western and, while it couldn’t be called gourmet, it is generally fresh and good. At night sheesha s are available for E£5, and sometimes there is live music.

Abo Ayman Restaurant
Roasted on a hand-turned spit over coals in an old oil drum, the chickens at Abo Ayman are the juiciest in Siwa. They’re well seasoned, and served with salad, tahini and bread. It sometimes takes an inconceivably long time for the birds to migrate from the grill to your table.

Abdu’s Restaurant
This is the longest-running restaurant in town and remains the best eating option around, with a huge menu of breakfast, pasta, traditional dishes, vegetable stews, couscous, roasted chickens and fantastic pizza whipped to your table by the efficient service.

Kenooz Siwa
On the roof terrace of Shali Lodge, this cafe-restaurant is a great place to hang out while enjoying a mint tea or a cold drink, although the quality of the food, once the best in town, has definitely deteriorated.

Alexander Restaurant
Alexander serves the usual budget-restaurant fare, with pizzas, veggie stews, very good chicken and, innovatively for Siwa, curries. Service can be slow here too, but the food usually arrives with a smile.

H
East-West Restaurant
Named after the historical divide between the two parts of Siwa Town, this restaurant serves a cheaper, more pedestrian version of Abdu’s menu and has lethargic service.
