A row of bars of restaurants sitting straight on the beach offer a big variety of food, ranging from authentic local recipes to eclectic international menus at very convenient prices. Some restaurants offer the catch of the day, fresh fish deliciously cooked in your preferred way. Others cater to the big number of backpackers staying at the camps, and offer varied menus for breakfast and lunch too. Out of the menus: Pancakes with fruits, ice cream, honey or chocolate spread are popular for breakfast or late-night munchies. Main meals consist of pizzas, pasta, fish or chicken. Seafood is available, and some Italian and Indian restaurants have opened recently. In Dahab, the hotels’ cuisine is in general quite good. Hotels normally have a main restaurant serving the boarding meals (breakfast and dinner, sometimes also lunch), and one or two a-la-carte restaurants to sample specialties or to celebrate that special occasion in an intimate atmosphere. Camps serve simple but tasty local food at very convenient prices.
