Greek Club — Greek / Mediterranean Seafood, Alexandria
The Greek Club — also known as the White & Blue Restaurant — occupies a position directly adjacent to the Qaitbay Citadel at the end of the Eastern Harbour, offering the best harbour views in Alexandria from a building that reflects the Greek community’s deep historical roots in the city. Alexandria was founded by Greeks, shaped by Greek culture for centuries, and the Greek community that remained through Egypt’s modern transformations maintained this restaurant as their communal gathering place and as the finest table available by the water.
The menu leans heavily into seafood with grilled calamari and shrimp prepared with the precision of a kitchen that has been cooking these ingredients for decades, alongside Greek dishes — the spanakopita, the tzatziki, the moussaka — that reflect Alexandria’s Mediterranean heritage. One of the few places in the area that serves beer and wine, which in a predominantly Muslim city makes it additionally distinctive.
The wine list draws on Greek producers alongside the French and international selections that a restaurant of this heritage demands. The Assyrtiko from Santorini, the Xinomavro from Macedonia, and the Agiorgitiko from Nemea all appear as natural accompaniments to the seafood-and-Greek menu.
The Greek Club is the Alexandria restaurant for occasions that require the combination of spectacular harbour view, historical significance, and genuine seafood quality. Reservations are essential, particularly for weekend terrace seating where waits of an hour or more without a booking are standard.
