coffee shops: High end afternoon tea
  • Satisfaction:
  • Trianon is located at the ground floor of Le Mtropole Hotel facing Midan Ramla. There is also a bakery behind, but it is only for take away. I enjoyed the afternoon tea and cake here during my day trip from Cairo to Alexandria. The restaurant has good classical ambienc.e. (see pics). It costs 16 EGP (May 2006).

    Seafood restaurants: Seafood restaurants in Alex
  • Satisfaction:
  • I went to this Zeferioun in Abu Kir district which is 20 minutes away from al Motazzah and 40 minutes from downtown (maybe more). The place is known for the fresh sea food he cooks. Go and enjoy while sitting 2 meters away from the water.

    Shrimps, Rice with shrimps.

    traditional&local Egyptian food: Take advantage of the sugarcane juice
  • Satisfaction:
  • Sugarcane is one of Egypt's premier crops. You can clearly see that all around the country. I found that the best sugarcane juice is one that's processed-to-order and only from small, family owned, none restaurant-type establishments that cater to local people instead of to tourists (anywhere in Egypt). These establishments are usually busy, so much so that the server washes each big beer-mug by simply dipping and vigorously shaking it in a bucket of plain water before filling it again for the next customer. I admit it can be disturbingly nauseous and unhealthy to some people. Yet, it's fun, something truly "local" to do, and so far I have suffered no ill effects after doing it multiple times. Plus, it costs only $0.25 or less, a fraction of what restaurants charge for the same thing.

    traditional&local Egyptian food: Koshari - must have!
  • Satisfaction:
  • Once in Egypt, try koshari. it's a dish made of pasta, tomato sause, lentils, topped with fried and dried onions on top. Despite a lot of carbs, it's just tasty and cheap. You can find it at any regular restaurant.

    traditional&local Egyptian food: some egyptian dishes recomendation
  • Satisfaction:
  • There r many small places that serve this kind of food, nothing fancy and mainly for locals, so you can find it all over town. Foe coshari I can recomend Misho in Ibrahimia for coshari and pies, and Goha in Cornish for sahleb. Saber is a famous sweets shop that you can not make a bad choise in. If you insist on more western look but still egyptian taste, try Tikka. Enjoy and explore!!

    there are couple of things you will not find in guides but you should try in order to get the real taste of Egypt. Many people already know about koftah and kebab, but i would recomend foul ( cooked and smashed beans with tomato...very special) coshari (few mixed types of pasta with sause, yummy) egyptian pies (salty and sweet), plus sweets like conaffa, belilla or sahleb in winter (warm milk with coco and nuts, wheat...beautiful)
