World Travel https://www.youtube.com/user/World1Tube Cairo - Egypt Travel Guide http://bit.ly/1gcTosP Restaurants in Cairo - Egypt Tourism and Vacation Many of the better Cairo restaurants, frequented by locals as well as visitors, are found in the international hotels. Food in Egypt is cheap, so you will rarely have to pay more than US$35 for a three-course meal (without wine). Imported drinks are considerably more expensive than the local version. Tax and tips are added to the prices listed on the restaurant and can bump the bill up by 20-25%. The restaurants below have been listed alphabetically and classed into four different pricing categories: Expensive (over US$40) Moderate (US$25 to US$40) Cheap (up to US$25) These prices include a three-course meal for one, excluding drinks and tip. The Moghul Room ============== Price: Expensive Thought to be Egypt's finest Indian restaurant, and located in the Mena House Oberoi hotel overlooking the Pyramids, the cuisine is North Indian, with kebabs and rich, creamy curries a speciality. Décor is traditional Indian, with classical musicians playing nightly. Address: Pyramids Road, Giza, Cairo, Egypt The Fish Market ============== Price: Expensive This busy, unpretentious restaurant is located on a huge boat on the Nile, spread over two floors, with fish delivered directly from the port of Alexandria. Choose from the catch of the day laid out on ice slabs, with prices per kilo clearly marked, from red mullet to sea bass and Alaskan King crab, which will then be grilled or fried. Good value set meals. Reservations recommended. Address: Sharia el Nil, Giza, Cairo, Egypt Revolving Restaurant ===================== Price: Expensive The view of the sunset from the Grand Hyatt's 40th floor cocktail lounge is surpassed only by the restaurant a floor above, with Cairo spread out at your feet like a tapestry of light. Suitable for a romantic intimate dinner for two, with tables set around a central platform, the restaurant offers inspiring French haute cuisine. Address: Grand Hyatt, Corniche el Nil, Garden City, Egypt Abou El Sid =========== Price: Moderate Hugely popular, this high-ceilinged space is all about dappled shadows, wooden tables with muted murals and tables full of meze. This is the place to enjoy traditional Egyptian dishes like molokkia -- a stew named after a bitter green vegetable used in the dish with meat (usually rabbit) and served with rice. Check for minimum charge. Address: 157 26 July St, Zamalek, Cairo, Egypt Khan El-Khalili Restaurant & Naguib Mahfouz Coffee Shop ============= Price: Moderate In the middle of the sprawling market streets, this traditional coffee shop is named after Egypt's Nobel prize-winning novelist, who set many of his works in this area. Traditional musicians play most evenings; try for a table in the front section. It serves traditional Egyptian cuisine but you could just come for a juice and fabulous Om Ali, the national's beloved dessert - a rich pudding made from sweet bread, dried fruit, nuts and cream. Address: 5 El Baddistan Lane, Khan al-Khalili, Cairo, Egypt Sequoia ========== Price: Moderate It's not renowned for culinary excellence, but the location and chic décor can't be beaten. Join Cairo's young fashionable crowd, sink into white sofas, choose meze or even sushi, as the breeze from the Nile cools your brow. There's even a menu of fruity sheesha pipes. Unbeatable on summer nights. Minimum charge at weekends; reservations essential. Address: 53 Abu El Feda, Zamalek, Cairo, Egypt Maison Thomas ================ Price: Cheap If you're crying out for a slice of pizza or a thick sandwich of cold cuts, this Italian-style bistro chain is a real institution. Good for kids and party goers, it's open 24 hours, and as good for a full evening meal as a coffee and slab of chocolate cake. Address: 157 26 July St, Zamalek, Cairo, Egypt Abou Tarek =========== Price: Cheap The best place to sample the traditional dish koshary -- a mix of rice, lentils, pasta and fried onions -- this is the place for an informal fill up where diners eat on tin plates. Filled with locals. Address: Egypt The Greek Club ============= Price: Cheap This friendly oasis in busy Downtown offers informal dinner in a cavernous dining room with huge tables. Choose from the reasonably-priced menu for Greek-influenced Egyptian dishes, plus ouzo and local drinks if you fancy a tipple. A good mix of people. Minimum charge; small membership fee. Address: 3 Sharia Mahmoud Bassiouni, off Midan Talaat Harb (above Groppis), Cairo, Egypt ============ Restaurants in Cairo, Tourism, Egypt, The Moghul Room, Fish Market, Revolving Restaurant, Abou El Sid, Coffee Shop, Cairo travel guide, Cairo Attractions, Cairo Hotels,Cairo Restaurants,Tourism in Egypt, Vacation Egypt, Giza, Pyramids, Cairo Museum
