El-Borg is one of Port Said's best-known fish restaurants, serving fresh Mediterranean seafood in a setting with views over the canal. The approach is Egyptian-style: you choose your fish from the display and it is grilled or fried to order, served with bread, salad, and tahini. The shrimp are a particular speciality of the region.
The restaurant attracts both locals and visitors, which is usually a reliable sign of quality in a city where the tourist trade is thin. Lunch is the main meal; the place fills quickly after 1pm. Prices are lower than comparable seafood restaurants in Cairo or Alexandria.
