In a tile-decorated 1930s house with an airy upstairs dining space, this restaurant lets you take a culinary tour of Egypt. Dishes range from oven-roasted rabbit with molokheya (a dark green gelatinous soup made from the jute mallow plant) to hamam mahshi, herby rice-stuffed pigeon. The mezze platter with your pick of four hot and four cold dishes makes a great start to the meal—or a meal in and of itself. Sofra also offers a cooking course that takes you shopping in the market before making a meal, or you can sail on a felucca and take a countryside walk before lunch.

Don't let the stained tablecloths at this upper-story dining room put you off: communal eats can be a messy business. Standard mixed-grill items share the lineup with less common offerings such as turkey, duck, quail, and rabbit, which must be ordered before arriving. Set menus serve up a choice of meat or fish accompanied by a table filled with salads, rice, and soups like molokheya, a thick green gelatinous soup made from jute leaves.
Hilton St., Luxor, Luxor, Egypt10-0008–0960Known For

Luxor's finest Asian restaurant occupies a room that's sedately but luxuriously decorated in a Far Eastern style, with teals, golds, and deep green marble. There is a formal tea area and a sequestered alcove for romance or business. A variety of Asian specialties are available, including excellent sushi and sashimi, which is prepared before your eyes at the sushi bar; however, the teppanyaki (Japanese grill), prepared in flamboyant, percussive style, is a signature.

Sometimes, all you need is a proper cup of tea—tout-free and no baksheesh—to set the world right again. At this casual café, an unhurried atmosphere prevails in the simple black-and-white interior. It's located in the Khaled Ibn El Waleed hotel zone, just down the street from the Hotel St. Joseph. Look for the Union Jack outside. Here, in what is part English tearoom, part dessert lounge, part bookish café, you can enjoy the air-conditioning and recharge with a panini or go for the best homemade scones outside of England.
