Baheg may not have the ocean at its doorstep, but it certainly brings the ocean’s bounty to the city. As you cruise down the lively Tahlia Street, you can’t miss the bright blue exterior adorned with a cartoon fisherman, a cheeky nod to the owner. Step inside, and you’re transported to a whimsical fishing shack complete with nets, boats, and decorative fish mounts. A stunning mural of the Citadel of Qaitbay pays homage to the owner’s heritage, adding a touch of Alexandria’s Mediterranean charm.
Baheg’s vibe is as casual as it gets. Expect friendly service, plastic cutlery, and a relaxed dress code. But here, the food is the star of the show. Fresh catches of the day greet you at the seafood display, ready to be grilled or fried to perfection as per your preference.
