What food is served at all-inclusive hotels in Hurghada?

The Chinese à la carte restaurant offers a choice of meat, chicken, or fish: sweet-and-sour chicken, battered fish, or meat served in a skillet. Rice or udon-style noodles are available as sides, and portions are large.

The buffet also sometimes includes nuggets and chili con carne; chicken and fish may be grilled, while fish is also served battered.

Besides main meals, there's a beach snack station offering burgers, pizza, crispy potato wedges, corn, pasta, ice cream and seasonal fruit — so guests won't go hungry between meals.

Breakfast also includes vegetable-and-cheese omelettes, yogurts, croissants, smoothies, eggs cooked various ways, bacon, sausages, turkey, muesli, waffles and pancakes.

In addition to beef, chicken and fish, lunch/dinner also feature turkey plus shrimp and crab (though reviewers note these are often overcooked).

Breakfast almost always includes a cream soup; porridges rotate daily — e.g. rice porridge with milk one day, pasta in milk the next (based on guests eating at the Sphinx restaurant).

Meat options are chicken and beef, plus fried fish. Side dishes include potatoes, rice, pasta and stewed vegetables. Fresh vegetables offered: cucumbers, tomatoes, cabbage, peppers. Pastry selection is limited.

Duck and beef lyulya kebab are also served — guests note the food overall is good, especially the soups and pizza.

The fast food station usually has donuts, popcorn, hot dogs, pizza and fries almost daily, but ice cream is rare — only twice in 8 days.

Steak and shrimp aren't available daily, but beef and lamb are consistently served at both lunch and dinner.

The basic menu is standard across most hotels: chicken, beef, fish, spaghetti and potatoes are always available, breakfast is typical, plus pizza and standard desserts.
