TL;DR
Mahony restaurant in Naama Bay is a popular choice for seafood. Near Old Town, Fares is recommended. Hotel à la carte fish restaurants exist but get mixed reviews — Italian à la carte tends to be better rated.
El Mina is recommended as a good seafood option: it’s on the parallel street, very close to El Halaka, and recent feedback says the food there is very tasty.
Fish Market is a small, cozy fish restaurant in the old town with good food at reasonable prices. There are also several other fish restaurants in the old town, on the street to the left of the mosque.
The café on El Fanar beach serves tasty food at budget-friendly prices. Use the El Fanar entrance, not the adjacent Del Mar or Allora entrances. If you're only going to eat, you don't need to buy a beach ticket — just tell staff you're there to dine.
The Japanese à la carte restaurant was well-received: tuna salad, shrimp appetizer on flatbread, crème brûlée flambé, rolls, and shrimp with rice all stood out. Portions are generous. A second beachside à la carte ('Arabian Night') operates as self-service.
The hotel's dedicated fish restaurant was a letdown — only the squid and shrimp were passable, and the group ended up going to the main restaurant for dinner anyway.
Castello restaurant has a broad international menu covering pasta, pizza, burgers, soups, fish, meat, and more.
The Seasons and Savoy hotels are noted for quality food, including seafood and shrimp (gambari).
Reef Beach has a well-regarded small restaurant, suitable for a full meal during a day trip.
Shrimp are not available at the hotel or on the waterfront — you need to go to restaurants in the city itself.
The Indian à la carte restaurant is worth a visit: grilled salmon, shrimp, and trout are highly recommended. Excellent service, though the salad selection is limited.
Star Fish is a small fish restaurant near Fares. Mixed reviews: the soup is decent, but the shrimp disappointed. The interior is nothing special.
Mahony restaurant in Naama Bay is a go-to spot for seafood — it's popular with tourists and has a full seafood menu. Shrimp is well-reviewed; skip the house white sauce.
