FISH MARKET
Read moreThe essence of this restaurant lies in its magnificent view of the Nile which it dominates and the Saqqarah palm grove opposite. The cuisine is of good quality and the fish is fresh: you choose from the stall what you would like and it is prepared at your convenience, grilled, baked or fried. The room is a bit old but it is still a very good spot to have a chicha just before sunset. You can also rent feluccas, not far away. Service sometimes distracted... the establishment serves alcohol.
L’AUBERGINE
Read moreAs its name suggests, this resto-bistrot-club offers an interesting choice of vegetarian dishes but also some meat dishes to satisfy all tastes. The cuisine is particularly inventive with a menu that changes very regularly and dares very original combinations. It is also one of the spots of the Cairo night with its nightclub arranged upstairs. Live DJs and a good atmosphere are there for you. Attention: it is a trendy place very appreciated so it is better to reserve the weekend to have a place.
STEAK OUT
Read moreAn excellent place to eat good meat in Mohandessin. Various cuts of well-cooked beef, veal and chicken, as well as a wide choice of burgers, pastas, salads and even some fish. Be warned, the proportions are very generous! The Cheese Cake Madness dessert is mind-blowing, as is the Brownies on Ice - diabetics beware! The decor is impeccable, the service impeccable and the waiters and waitresses very friendly. There's a very American feel, but that's not to be sniffed at!
KADOURA
Read moreThis restaurant is famous for its seafood and fish. Everything is fresh and excellent, just like in Alexandria. You can choose your fish or shellfish (lobster, shrimps, squid, mussels...) as well as your cooking method. These will be prepared according to your taste. Don't hesitate to taste their seafood soup and salads. The service is courteous, but, a small downside, does not speak French. The address is very popular in Cairo. It's a popular place to try if you like to mingle with the locals.
MALEK EL-GAMBARY
Read moreLiterally, "the king of shrimp"; so, obviously! Off the beaten track, this address located in the popular district of Choubrah is a true local institution. If the shrimp remains the star, you can also order fish and squid, grilled or fried at your convenience. The mezze served as a starter are delicious, so be careful to save room for the dish you order. We recommend shrimps surrounded by kounafa, angel hair batter: crispy on the outside, tender on the inside... tasty.
