Vegetarian Restaurants in Sharm El Sheikh

If you think Sharm El Sheikh is all about fish and meat, think again. The vegetarian scene here quietly holds its own, especially around SOHO Square and Old Market. You’ll find everything from falafel and hummus that’s made fresh daily to inventive veggie bowls inspired by Middle Eastern, Mediterranean, and even Asian flavors.

My favorite? Fares Seafood in Old Market actually has surprisingly great salad options and grilled halloumi that’s worth trying, even if you’re traveling with meat-eaters. And don’t skip Camel Bar’s little veggie dishes; they pair perfectly with a sunset cocktail. Oh, and try the local street food stalls for koshary, it’s a mix of rice, pasta, lentils, and tomato sauce that’s simple but hits the spot when you want something filling and meat-free.

One tip: during the hotter months, some of the outdoor cafes can get a little warm in the afternoon, so I usually go for evening dinners when the breeze kicks in. And if you’re up for a short trip out of town, Ras Nasrani has a few organic farms that serve vegetarian meals made from their own fresh produce. It’s not your typical restaurant stop, but well worth it for a different vibe within Sharm El Sheikh’s restaurant scene.
