  • If I could some up the dining experience in one word...Blah.

    THe food was OK.
    THe service was great.

    It was just blah, unfortuanately nobody seems to come here, there were an equal number of locals and tourists, but everyone seemed bored, which was sad as it is a very nice place inside and does have an intersting history.

    They do tack on 30% of extra charges on to the bill.

    Good place to bring Mom and Dad or grandma who need something very European.

    Did not check out the toilets, but imagine they were quite nice.

    I had :

    Lentil Soup - OK

    Babaganoush - OK, too garlicky and I am a big garlic fan.

    Oriental Rice - OK, with sultanas and spices, but weird pieces of meat showed up in it.

    CAFE RICHE

    Talaat Harb Street, Between Midan Tharir and Midan Talaat Harb.
    The Cafe' Riche was once famous as an intellectual hotspot in Cairo. It is probably one of the only two cafés in town which not only witnessed history, no, it actually wrote history, too. The other one is the Al-Fishawi teahouse in the heart of the Khan Al-Khalili. The Café Riche saw revolutionaries, artists, famous singers and actors, poets and painters, politicians and important businessmen. The famous Arabian diva Umm Kulthoum appeared on stage three nights in 1923 and the Nobel-prize winning author Naguib Mahfouz held his famous Friday literature gatherings here beginning in 1963.
