The fancier restaurants are almost exclusively located at La Corniche and by major beaches, however cafes and restaurants are located all over town.

Where ever one goes in Algeria, whether they are in the west, east or south of the nation, trying the Pizzas sold at local cafes and restaurants is a must. Similar to the way Italians make Pizzas in Italy, it is delicious and a welcome change to the usual round, heavy, topping filled Pizzas served in most GCC countries.
