Bistro Europa

ALEXANDRIA. Classic French ambience and cuisine distinguish this elegant restaurant, romantically decorated with linen cloths, soft lighting and charming European prints. The menu changes regularly but might include jumbo lump crabcakes, steaks, fresh salmon, or Italian specialties like pizza or calzones. Decadent desserts are always worth the extra calories, and the wine list and outdoor seating add to the appeal. An excellent choice for special occasions. NB The pub located upstairs serves what may just be the top "pub grub" in Old Town.
