We usually spend all summer trying to find the best restaurants on the North Coast. There’s a bit of a shift that happens to our palates the moment we hit the Sahel highway. The heavy, comforting meals we consume all year lose their appeal, replaced by a craving for something fresh and vibrant.
This summer, the North Coast is giving us exactly what we’ve been wanting. Starting mid-July, Fairmont Nile City is expanding to the North Coast by launching Saigon by the Sea at Masyaf, Ras El Hekma. It’s a significant move that marks the very first time this legendary Pan-Asian restaurant has stepped outside its luxury hotel walls to create a seasonal home by the beach.
BEYOND THE HOTEL WALLS
For years, Saigon has been the gold standard for dining. It’s the place you go when you want impeccable service, a refined atmosphere, and innovative Asian flavors that you simply cannot replicate elsewhere. The restaurant has consistently earned its crown, regularly securing TripAdvisor’s “Best of the Best” title as one of the top dining destinations globally.
But the team behind Fairmont Nile City has a larger vision. Under their guiding philosophy to make special happen, they’re bringing their world-class hospitality straight to where their loyal guests are vacationing.
NORTH COAST CHARM
Saigon by the Sea isn’t just a dining spot. It’s designed to be a complete destination that evolves with your beach day. The new venue will serve a curated menu that spans across breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
Imagine starting your morning with an early-morning breakfast, stopping by for a light, flavor-packed lunch to escape the midday heat, or watching the sunset by the Mediterranean while sharing signature rolls. As night falls, the energy shifts into lively, breezy summer evenings, proving that you don’t have to sacrifice luxury standards just because you’re wearing a swimsuit coverup.
SUMMER FUSION
What makes this opening so fascinating is the contrast of elements. It’s the meeting point where the high-end culinary excellence of Fairmont Nile City blends seamlessly with the laid-back, sun-kissed spirit of Masyaf. Every single detail has been intentionally planned to ensure that the award-winning quality Cairo knows by heart is fully present, just with a much better view.
If your summer plans involve going to Ras El Hekma, this is the table you need to book immediately. Saigon by the Sea is officially open for the season, ready to give the North Coast a taste of the absolute finest.
Saigon by the Sea opens exclusively from mid-July at Masyaf, Ras El Hekma. For reservations and more information, get in touch on +20 120 888 8687 or head to their official Instagram page.
