Alexandria, VA – One of the bright lights in Old Town is Elaine’s Restaurant (208 Queen St.). This mecca of Egyptian and Mediterranean food has brought modern Alexandrian (Egypt) available Wednesday to Friday for lunch and dinner, and Saturday and Sunday for brunch, lunch, and dinner. The recipes are based on the food Cynthia and her mother ate at her grandmother Elaine’s table. According to Jeffrey Higgins, co-owner with his wife Cynthia, “We are thrilled to celebrate Elaine’s two-year anniversary on March 27, 2025. We are so grateful to the residents of Old Town for welcoming us into the Historic District. Sharing Egyptian cuisine from the original Alexandria has been our honor.”
The cozy yet elegant place also offers a variety of signature cocktails, a curated assortment of wines, and well-chosen selection of beers. You should try their fresh fish preparations, hummus and falafel made with fava beans, and other dishes influenced by Middle Eastern, French, Italian, and Greek flavors. If you haven’t been there yet, you’re in for a delightful meal.
Congratulations! So enjoy our time there.
