🥪 In a town where restaurants appear designed to appeal to the gaze of social media, a simple dining experience can feel rare. If you’re in the mood for a high-grade, well-made Italian sandwich in a cozy setting, La Focacceria in Downtown El Gouna is a solid choice.

Rather than leaning into trends, or prioritizing aesthetics over quality, the eatery’s focus remains on providing delicious ingredients, careful preparation, and consistency. The concise menu offers a bite-sized take on Italian cuisine. Ordering your sandwich allows for generous customization, giving you the freedom to build something special from a wide selection of toppings. With mostly outdoor seating, the atmosphere is relaxed and laid back.

We tried two of the restaurant’s most popular sandwiches: the Pesto Fresco and the Burrata Bay. Both were flavorful, with well-balanced fillings and satisfying portions. Each sandwich was filling enough to keep us full for hours and came with seasoned potato chips on the side.

La Focacceria also offers a small selection of classic desserts, including tiramisu and carrot cake — available both by the slice and as a whole cake. Fresh juices and soft drinks are also available. An honorable mention to the staff, who are all respectful and courteous, contributing to the restaurant’s welcoming atmosphere.
