TL;DR
Dahab has a waterfront promenade with lots of good cafes, and many hotels offer free transfers into town for lunch/dinner — unlike Sharm El Sheikh, where Old Town and Naama Bay have very limited dining options.
In Sharm's Naama Bay area, food options are basically limited to salads and coffee, with a real risk of getting food poisoning — very few decent places to eat.
In Sharm's Old Town, there's really just one decent restaurant up on the hill (name not specified) — almost nothing else to eat nearby.
All-inclusive hotel food gets old fast — after 2-3 days you want variety, and Dahab makes this easier since hotels there offer decent dinner options beyond the buffet.
Dahab has a waterfront promenade with plenty of good cafes, and some hotels run a free shuttle into town for lunch or dinner — convenient and a nice break from eating only at the hotel.
