Alexandria is well-known for its succulent seafood dishes, made with fresh catches from the Mediterranean. Every Wednesday, Fairmont Heliopolis’ Aqua E Luce brings these fantastic world-class flavors to our happy stomachs here in Cairo. As big seafood lovers, we just had to try it out for ourselves!
With the dishes marinated and cooked right in front of you in their ‘show’ kitchen, you can pick your own raw pieces of fish from the buffet and have them prepared exactly to your taste by their talented chefs. Choose from a wide array of sauces, so no matter what flavors you like, you will be more than satisfied!
At the buffet, you can find everything your heart desires, from sushi to seafood pasta to freshly-prepared fish. Selecting the best seafood cooking styles from all of the seven seas, the chefs expertly prepared fresh Mediterranean Barbouni for us in a delicious Alexandrian style. As big fans of sushi, we were able to choose from a vast array of authentically Asian-tasting rolls all served in generous portions. There are no simple side salads at Aqua E Luce, with every single dish being packed full of character. The unexpected combination of flavors that you will experience are an absolute delight complimenting each other perfectly! Be warned, with such a big choice at the ginormous buffet, make sure you pace yourself so that you have a chance to try lots of different dishes.
With Wednesdays often marking the tired hump of the week, having an evening planned of fantastic food in a vibrant atmosphere will definitely keep you happy and motivated until the weekend. So satiate your taste buds with seafood at Fairmont Heliopolis Aqua E Luce whether you are dining with your girlfriends, your husband or your family!
