The best restaurants Route de la soie

It's one of the only restaurants to offer typical palmyréniens dishes inside a former palmyrénienne house. With a stone dominance, both interior and exterior are tastefully decorated, the atmosphere is peaceful and intimate, unlike the other establishment of the city.

Two restaurants at the same address. If you choose Traditional Palmyra, you can enjoy tasty Bedouin cuisine (mensaf, camel meat, chicken or vegetable skewers in sauce). If you're looking for Pan Cake House, you'll have the pleasure of enjoying thick sweet or savoury pancakes with a fresh fresh fruit juice. A paradise for the tired palate of the delicious olive-cheese-fromage breakfast.

Bedouin cuisine: Very good dishes of boiled vegetables, smoked wheat or rice and especially, restaurant speciality, kawaj (grilled chicken and fried vegetables) cooked in a faraja (terracotta plate).

For dessert, please ask the uncle's pancakes who hold the Pan Cake House next door, they are delicious.

In the open air, a cool and shady patio in the summer. Classic Syrian cuisine. There is an excellent mensaf for 200 LS only.

Very beautiful rooms with a harmonious blend of white and turquoise, well equipped. The restaurant on the top floor and most of the rooms offer a splendid view of the site and the palm grove. A swimming pool next to the hotel opens from June until the end of September.

Even in the lobby, the customer will have the impression of always being in the heart of the ruins: decor at palmyrénienne, tables with top, office of reception supported by columns of columns… and all staff dressed in palmyrénienne. The hotel, nestled in a superb building of the 1930 s, was completely renovated in 2007.

The bright rooms are very comfortable with mini-bar, TV, air conditioning and bathroom. Request view on the site. Finally, two special chambers "Countess" (in tribute to Countess Margot of Andurain, "Countess of Palmyra", who often camped there). In a subtle smell of mother-made wood, they offer a remarkable view of the site. Bright and luxurious (minibar, TV with CD and DVD player, possibility of connecting the computer on TV), they offer two rooms, one of which is one on the mezzanine, as well as a lounge. The restaurant and terrace make it possible to admire the site at every hour of the day with a dish or a glass of tea.

Located 40 km from Palmyra, this restaurant is advertised by a sign. In the middle of the desert, it is a harmonious blend of desert castle and Bedouin tent.

Single, clean rooms, air conditioned with shower or bathtub. The hotel was very close to the city centre. Has a cafeteria restaurant on the ground floor; a new, on the roof with panoramic view of the site and the oasis is expected to open in summer 2010.

The staff were very friendly and helpful. The staff were friendly and helpful. In addition, the boss leads to the centre and the ruins free of charge. Abu Alaa, always ready to make tourists pleasant, offers a family dinner and excursions in the desert. In short, very good value for money for a clean room with TV, air conditioning and royal breakfast in front of the hotel, facing the site.

Located in a quiet street, away from the tourist bustle of the main street but just as close to the site. Clean and clean rooms.

An address of great charm that contrasts with the other Venetian restaurants. The mistress of the place is Massome, an infinitely warm woman. She invites you to the table in a setting that instantly draws you in. From Morocco to Ethiopia, through Guinea and Ghana, the best culinary specialties of each country are on the menu. The restaurant serves meat and fish dishes revisited with creativity and enhanced by the finest of plate settings. There is no doubt about the pleasure of entertaining.

The Bab-El Yemen restaurant is a popular address for Cairo's Yemeni community, where you don't have to eat greasy food. All specialties are served here, accompanied by freshly baked bread cakes. Specialties include al-Mandi, zurbian, foie, bint al-sahn and all the rest of Yemen's famous cuisine. Sweet tooths are not left out, with delicious desserts, Adeni tea and sweets offered at the end of the meal. An address that will delight all lovers of this cuisine!

Fun setting in a villa and its terrace in the west of Zamalek. The marquee-shaped canvas roof over the garden insulates you from outside noise, almost forgetting you are in Cairo. Mostly Egyptian, the cuisine is of good quality with a few surprises à la carte: sliced veal à la zurichoise, fondue bourguignonne and French fries that some would say are the best in the city! The atmosphere is soft, lulled by the melodies of the pianist who plays live almost every night.

Beneath its nostalgic exterior, this villa features five indoor and outdoor living spaces, where you can enjoy lunch, dinner, chicha, drinks and dancing. Suffice it to say, it's firmly rooted in its time! We're not talking haute cuisine here, but it's not bad at all (pizzas, fajitas, pastas, salads, cordons bleus, grilled meats and fish, ice creams: there's something for everyone!) The combo for a festive evening is to come for an aperitif, then dinner and, finally, to set the dance-floor alight late into the night.

The unmissable restaurant for lovers of French cuisine. Its decor is luxurious but not in the best taste. Here you will find a wide selection of the best Egyptian and world wines. Its main asset is the unobstructed view of the Nile at night, thanks to its huge bay window. The setting is warm, the cuisine excellent with quality service, most of the time. This restaurant offers musical entertainment every evening: don't hesitate to call to find out the musical program of the week.

An 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!

One of the oldest restaurants in Cairo, nestled in the basement of the President Hotel. Perfect for dining with friends, over small dishes and good spirits. The menu is quite classic but it has the merit of being perfectly cooked. Quite stilted in appearance, the atmosphere can switch to "nightclub" mode when the clock is ticking and the drinks begin to produce some dancing effects on the hitherto upright spines. There's a nice stilted-casual side to it! Allergic to smoke should be avoided.

An institution in Khan el-Khalili, where you can eat fettir, available in any accompaniment: meat, vegetables, cheese, but also chocolate, honey or sugar. The place is just a few meters from the al-Hussan mosque, at the entrance to Khan-al-Khalili. As a result, the restaurant quickly becomes overcrowded. But it's still the best place to have lunch when you finish visiting the Khan in the morning and want to cross Gohar al-Qaed to Islamic Cairo. We recommend it!

Excellent Thai address with many years of reputation. The restaurant is located in the luxurious Sémiramis Hotel, just a few meters from Tahrir Square and the National Museum. Its geographical position makes it a strategic place to take a lunch break before leaving the downtown area and its thousand and one secrets. To digest, walking in the Manial district may be an option. To do this you will only have to go along the cornice and ask one of the falouka navigators to take you across the Nile to the foot of the Manial Palace.

Beautiful boat from Grand Hyatt offering two cruises with lunch or dinner a day. On board, buffet and traditional entertainment.

A very elegant boat for dinner on a two-hour cruise on the Nile. The food is of good quality and the entertainment includes musicians, whirling dervishes and a belly dancer. With her voluptuous swaying, she pays homage to the traditional dances of Upper Egypt, while offering a varied overview of the compulsory figures of what Westerners have renamed "belly dancing". Highly recommended, this luxury cruise is very popular: reservations are essential.

This 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.

In the capital of a great country of wine and gastronomy, he was finally able to spend some good moments in a French wine bar with a very safe selection, highlighted by the refined anti-saudade culinary accompaniment of the hexagon. The beautiful bottles and grands crus of Saint-Estèphe, Saint-Julien or Saint-Emilion, accompanied by ham from Bayonne and melon in the port, with 6 snails in the hotel's master butter. A. address. 

This restaurant offers a warm and spacious oriental style, decorated with paintings and crafts from Uzbek artists. Every evening, dance shows and musicians. the atmosphere. The map is rich in many well-selected national specialities and a few more European-oriented dishes. Despite the quality of the service and the beauty of the decor, a soup, a chicken dish or a few grills and a dessert should not cost you too much. The map also offers a good choice of beers, vodkas and some Italian wines.

On the left side of the Navoi opera, when you face it. The New World is Tashkent's "historic" pizzeria, taken over by families before or after the opera performance. Of course, this is not Italy and the pizzas are not particularly memorable, but the whole thing is more than okay and allows you to eat safely for a modest budget. On the spot or to take away, good variety of recipes and also some pasta dishes. The setting is simple but the bay windows overlook the Opera House.
