Alexandria Mediterranean Grill is proud to share the story of our restaurant and of our Star Chef Mr. Ibriahim. It is a privilege for us to share the rich history our restaurant represents.
The second largest city in Egypt, Alexandria has an atmosphere that is more Mediterranean than Middle Eastern; its ambiance and cultural heritage distance it from the rest of the country although it is only 225 km. from Cairo.
Founded by Alexander the Great in 331 BC, Alexandria became the capital of Greco-Roman Egypt; its status as a beacon of culture is symbolized by Pharaos, the legendary lighthouse that was one of the Seven Wonders of the World.
The setting for the stormy relationship between Cleopatra and Mark Antony, Alexandria was also the center of learning in the ancient world, but ancient Alexandria declined, and when Napoleon landed he found a sparsely populated fishing village.
Since the 19th century Alexandria has played a new role, as a focus for Egypt's commercial and maritime expansion. This Alexandria has been immortalized by writers such as E.M. Forster and Cavafy. Generations of immigrants from Greece, Italy and the Levant settled here and made the city synonymous with commerce, cosmopolitanism and bohemian culture; Lawrence Durrell described it as “The capital city of Asiatic Europe, if such a thing could exist".
Welcome to Alexandria Mediterranean grill, a unique blend of Mediterranean cuisine never seen before in the Space Coast. Here at Alexandria we are a family owned and operated restaurant that has a long history in Mediterranean cuisine. Abramo our chef and father was born and raised in Cairo, Egypt where he learned Middle Eastern Cuisine from the family recipes that date back generations. Then in 1972 he moved to Italy where he trained and worked as a chef for 20 years. In those 20 years he also had time have my brother I while living in Naples, Italy where we were basically raised in the kitchen and restaurant life. Now we bring those generations of Middle Eastern recipes, the experience of Italy and the culture of Alexandria to you right here in Brevard County.
