Fodor's Review:

This expansive restaurant/bar/lounge is without a doubt the hottest reservation in town. The dining area is a series of elegant high-ceilinged rooms, which, with their dark wood and seductive lighting, evoke Casablanca as much as Europe. The see-and-be-seen crowd is as hip as Cairo gets. The kitchen produces a number of specialties hard to find anywhere else, including homemade focaccia with rosemary or olives, gazpacho, honey-glazed duck, and tuna carpaccio. The bar is at least as popular as the restaurant. Be prepared to eat early (by Cairo standards) if you want a shot at getting a table.

  • Keep in mind: Reservations essential.

It is a quite nice place, to go , with great service, lovely decor , the food was nice, and we thought that it was a good value for money.If you arrive before 21.30, then you will have a choice of three generous set menues, with lovely food on there.We opted for the last one where we got 2 starters, a main dish and a dessert for 140LE (around 16£) P/p , and drinks were ok two.Very refreshing place to go to.
