Nice europe-quality food, where you can find even delishes steak! The only place in Dahab where you can enjoy russian food or european dishes. Restaurant for those who a bit tired from egypt-specific places and want to relax in lounge music and sea wave atmosphere on the shore.

Something different to the usual served along the seafront. Great lamb with pomegranate, restaurant setting was much more minimal than the Bedouin style places, which you may see as a positive or negative.

For the main I had Russian salad, dumplings an veg... More

I have eaten at the Red Cat Russian Restaurant in 2012 and the day before yesterday. The food is consistent and the location is great. My favourite is by far the Argula salade with tomatoe, cheese and balsamic vinegar. My is addicted to the Khavas. Food, presentation is good and the owner is very friendly . Clean and great location.... More

We can only agree with all the below reviews as to the quality of the food at Red Cat which is excellent, interesting and refreshingly different to the usual Dahab fare. Unfortunately, the atmosphere in the restaurant is charmless (despite it's pleasant setting) and void of any ambience. Moreover, the staff barely speak or interact with you, even when ordering!...

Red Cat is a great addition to the international dining scene in Dahab. Their food is fresh, full of lovely flavours and because it is an unfamiliar cuisine, always surprising. Their pate starter is to die for and the lamb dish I had was awesome! Highly reccommended!

Not having eaten russian cuisine before, thought we would give this place a try. Although a very dismal feel about the place and with no charm, it was the exact opposite impression I had from the owner who was very courteous and amiable, so feeling slightly perplexed about this establishment. I would strongly recommend to wrap up warm, as I... More
