My friend went with us to this hotel on many occasions, and then I started taking special guests. It is expensive and there can be quite a long wait to be served and for the food to arrive. However, the gardens are wonderful and the tables are shaded from the sun.
The weekends are particularly busy when the elite descend with their families to see and be seen.
The Hotel itself was once the Khedive's Palace where he entertained Princess Eugenie . The pink palace has wonderful reception rooms with murals of the opening of the Suez Canal, and of the princess.

Favorite Dish: I can't remember which was my favourite, but all were good. Sometimes we would just order a drink and consume sandwiches from the Marriott Bakery to save money.

I visited this Deli in 2002 with a friend who had been living in Cairo for many years. She thoroughly recommended it. Although the restaurant itself was not particularly memorable for its decor, the food was. We shared a regular pizza which cost about £Egyp. 20 at that time.
It is open 24 hours. Breakfast is served until 11am.

Favorite Dish: Pizza

One of many coffee shops in Cairo,it opens from 7:30 A.M and serves breakfast,it has a large menu of sandwiches,and coffee drinks.

It has 5 branches...this one is located at Zamalik.
You can also have lunch there or even dinner...I believe it closes at 12AM.

Favorite Dish: Almost everything in the menu is good...I liked the Chicken salad sandwich.

It is the famous American chain.
This restaurant is located on the Nile City mooring boat.
It has two levels,both levels has a Nile view.
The place is very child friendly(as every place in Cairo).
There are four branhes of Chili`s in Cairo,but the one located on the Nile is my personal favorite.

Favorite Dish: Almost everything on the menu is good,,but my favorite is the crispy chicken salad. and for the dessert it`s either the chocolate molton(it`s a choclate cake served with vanilla ice cream)or the apple pie,also served with icecream.

A nice place to dine if you`re visiting Egypt with your kids..it`s a family oriented restaurant.the seats next to the Nile view are non-smoking...
It also has an open area (on the outer deck)...
it`s at Nile City moored boat.
It also has a couple of virtual reality games for the kids to play with.

Favorite Dish: Chicken Parmigian,served with pasta.
and as a starter I`d recommand the mushrooms with tomatoes.

In all of the times I came to Cairo and passed this place it never accured to me it has the most amazing&delicous pizza.
The place is renovated,which allows you to see your pizza being prepared.The high chairs and tables makes a very unique atmosphere.Walls are painted with a dark green color which is the restaurant`s theme colour.
Written on the sign that is was established in 1922.

Favorite Dish: The Thomas restaurant serves more than 20 kinds of pizzas some are vegetarian and some are with pork and ham,,something you will not find everywhere in Cairo or Zamalek.
It also serves sandwiches and salads.

One of the few restaurants in Cairo(at the Zamalek area) that offers vegetarian food.
The place is in two stories,,the lower storey for dining and the upper storey has the bar.

Favorite Dish: The vegetarian lasagna is quite good.

Peking Chinese Chain of Restaurants, with 12 branches throughout Cairo.
