17 Talaat Harb, Bab Al Louq, Qasr El Nil, Cairo Governorate 11111, Egypt
What travelers say:
It is not easy to find such an atmosphere hotel in Cairo; and the waiters inside are very neatly dressed, even in the old man's suit and tie, and the messy downtown Cairo trip outside is in stark contrast. The dishes are generally the same, and the serving is very slow. If you are just in a hurry to eat, it is not recommended to come; but if two or three people take a break and chat, it is highly recommended.

It's not easy to find such an atmospheric restaurant in Cairo. The waiters are all dressed neatly, even the old men are wearing suits and ties, which is in stark contrast to the messy downtown Cairo. The food is average, and the service is very slow. If you are in a hurry to eat, it is not recommended. But if you are with two or three people to take a break and chat, it is highly recommended.
Local small cafes, experience the life of the locals, food is OK
CaféRiche is said to be the oldest and most famous coffee shop in Cairo, opened in 1908 at 29 Talaat Harb Street and is one of the most famous landmarks in downtown Cairo. The café became a meeting place for intellectuals and revolutionaries at various times, witnessing many historic events. Café Riche is one of Cairo's most famous cafes and perhaps the most notorious. In the 20 Worlds, the Riche Cafe does not warmly welcome anyone (visitors), its regular visitors are Egyptian cultural and intellectual figures, the center of a gathering of large literary and intellectual groups, and it was a refuge for many protesters in the city during the 2011 revolution. Others are often told they need to leave. After the turmoil of the Egyptian century, it was the special charm of the cafe that reopened after the 1990s, which made more tourists come. It is now very popular with foreign tourists. The cafe has not changed much. There are still many black and white portraits of politicians on the walls. Bookcases are filled with impassioned speeches, in the details, groping Egypt's political history.
The environment is clean, the serving speed is very fast, and the taste is good!
