Le Deauville at Abu Tig Marina in El Gouna is out of this world!!!

Went to a new steakhouse yesterday called Rancho in Hurghada, next door to Bulls. I had.......... wait for it............. barbequed pork chops, delicious. They are doing a promotion at the moment where for every main meal they throw in a couple of small beers. The wife and I had a main meal each and a couple of small beers each and got change from £11. Great atmosphere, good food and entertainment.

I went to the Miramar Restaurant yesterday. It is in the touristic area heading along the road past the Winking Frog and then a little bit further on after Metro and on the same side.

Very Egyptian atmosphere with men sitting around smoking shishas. Good value Egyptian food. Had fresh canteloupe melon juice (sorry no alcohol here) but the melon juice is to die for. Veal in mushroom sauce with good selection of vegetables and french fries. I think that was LE35. Pizzas are LE25. Wonderful 'cappacino mix' with fresh cream and chocolate on top.

Sounds good Georgina. Last month we found an Egyptian restaurant at Jasmine Centre - used by locals and quite full as the fottie was on as well. Not one foreigner in there. We had salads, dips, rice, veg stew, chicken, bread and water for 25le each and there were loads of food.

Another Egyptian one that just opened at Arabsat was fantastic. Paul had seafood spaq, I had fish Tagen, PJ had a prawn one. They bought out loads of lovely fresh salads which included a lovely one with beetroot and chickpeas, coleslaw, rice, dips, 2 baskets of flat bread, 3 large bottles of water and soft drinks and they gave us a discount and again we had a feast fit for a king and including tip was under £14 for the 3 of us. They gave us a good discount - we added up what it should have been and it would have been around £24 with tip. It really pays to get to know the locals, let them know you have invested and many will gve you discounts or local prices. Paul and PJ went on their own for the 1st time they ate there and they loved it when we all came back 2 nights later. Another local one we used at Jasmine was for our takeaways. We would sit and chill watching the belly dancers in Sahara shisha - Michael here is lovely and again he always gave us discounts - then order some grilled chicken, salad and flat breads with dips to take home for a couple of quid. Made a great midnight snack for the 4 of us for next to nothing.

Hi Jill no sorry these are in Nabq, Sharm.

I had a rib eye steak in Moby Dicks the other day and it was the best steak I have had in Egypt by a mile. 90LE, Seasoned, tenderised and cooked to perfection (medium to medium rare) 3 sauces to choose from (Pepper, Mushroom and Garlic) Normally a steak of this size would go unfinished, but it was just too tasty to leave anything on the plate.

I went there because one lunchtime I had the best chicken sandwich I had eaten in ages, for 18LE...bootiful marinated butterflied fillets...fresh baguette and side salad.

I went there again today and had the Spaghetti Bolognese..18LE, FANTASTICO, with fresh basil and pasta.

Interior is nice, with pretty boothes, it also has a patio garden, and even though it's on Sheraton Street its remarkably quiet. They were playing Pavarotti Opera when I was there for my Spag Bol, which made it taste even more authentic!

Sales Tax and Service is included in the above prices and the waiters are extremely polite and professional.

I give Moby Dick 10/10 for value, taste, and ambience. If only the menu was bigger I would be a permanant fixture. Still what they do, they do very well indeed.
