[edit] Cairo High-End Restaurants

• The Fish Market Seafood Phone: 20-2-570-9693
  • Fodor's Review : "Situated on the upper deck of a boat permanently moored on the west bank of the Nile, the scene here is decidedly simple..."

• • Lonely Planet Selection: "With its wonderful Nile views (particularly at night), laid-back feel and efficient service, this place is a real gem."

• • Yahoo! Travel 5.0 Stars(Note: Community Rating; Subject to Change)

• Abou El Sid Egyptian Phone: 20-2-735-9640 Google Map
  • Concierge.com Recommendation : "[D]ecked out in full-on Arabian Nights regalia: intricate wall panels, throw cushions, brass lamps, and shisha pipes awaiting a postprandial smoke of apple-flavored tobacco."

• • Lonely Planet Selection: "A sumptuous Orientalist fantasy of a restaurant/bar, Abu el-Sid serves traditional Egyptian food to wannabe pashas amid hanging lamps, large cushions and brass tables."

• Golden Pharoah Egyptian/International Phone: 20-2-570-1000
  • Concierge.com Recommendation : "[O]ne of the most mystical rivers in the world, it should be on this gilded barge, tarted up to look as if it sailed right out of a painting in a pharaoh's tomb."

• Justine French Phone: 20-2-736-2961
  • Fodor's Review : "As the warm glow of ecstasy settles in, prepare yourself for one last indulgence, because Justine is in a league of its own when it comes to dessert."

• • Lonely Planet Selection: "Comfortable leather furniture, subdued lighting and pristine napery set a classy tone that the food more than lives up to."

• Moghul Room Indian Phone: 20-2-383-3222
  • Fodor's Review : "The setting in the arches-and-romance splendor of the Mena House could hardly be more sublime, and the Indian trio that plays during dinner creates a seductive aural backdrop to a spectacular meal..."

• • Lonely Planet Selection: "Though it's a long taxi ride from Downtown, the opulent décor, good food and live sitar music make the trip worthwhile."

[edit] Cairo Moderate Restaurants

• La Bodega Pan-Asian, Phone: 20-2-735-6761
  • Fodor's Review : "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."

• • Yahoo! Travel 4.0 Stars (Note: Community Rating; Subject to Change)

• Sushiyama Japanese, Phone: 20-2-578-5161
  • Fodor's Review : "If you prefer drama to authenticity, you can order teppanyaki and sit around the large grills while the cooks twirl their knives and toss ingredients over their shoulders (ask them to go light on the salt and soy)."

• Andrea Egyptian Phone: 20-2-737-0523/5 Google Map
  • Lonely Planet Selection: "[O]ccupies an enviable position on the Nile and has a welcoming terrace where you can eat simple but tasty dishes, listen to the in-house DJ and enjoy a sheesha."

• • Yahoo! Travel 5 Stars

• Kandahar Indian Phone: 20-2-303-0615
  • Fodor's Review : '"Overlooking Maydan Sphinx (Sphinx Square), Kandahar serves superb North Indian food in a tranquil environment."

• Estoril Egyptian Phone: 20-2-574-3102
  • Lonely Planet Selection: "It claims to offer its diners an intro into 'the esoteric Cairene's world of art, literature, journalism and the rest'..."

[edit] Cairo Affordable Restaurants

• Felfela Egyptian Phone: 20-2-392-2751 Google Map
  • Concierge.com Recommendation : "A local favorite with a vaguely kitschy decor of hanging plants, skylights, and little tables made from tree trunks. The menu is an excellent introduction to Egyptian staples..."

• • Fodor's Review : "The main downtown branch has a pleasantly eclectic ambience that suggests the owner decorated it with little things she collected over the years."

• • Lonely Planet Selection: "If you want a cheap but good-quality eatery within walking distance of the Pyramids, try the Giza branch of Felfela or the popular Peace II Seafood Restaurant."

• Maison Thomas Italian Phone: 20-2-735-7057 Google Map
  • Fodor's Review : "If you find yourself prowling around town at 4 AM, steer yourself here; Thomas never closes. Beer is sold to go only."

• • Yahoo! Travel 4 1/2 Stars

• Hana Korean Restaurant Korean Phone: 20-2-738-2972
  • Fodor's Review : "Each large table has a built-in bed of charcoal over which you grill your own shrimp, squid, beef, pork, chicken, eel, tongue, liver -- you name it -- then dip the morsels in a delicious, slightly sweet soy sauce."

• • Lonely Planet Selection: "The kimchi (fermented chilli peppers and vegetables) packs a tremendous punch, the fried dumplings are excellent, the BBQ beef is tender and the Stella is ice cold - we can't ask more than that."

• Al-Tazaj Middle Eastern Phone: 20-2-305-0905
  • Fodor's Review : "They claim to get their produce from farm to grill in fewer than four hours, which is why (despite the fast-food decor) this joint turns out some of Cairo's tastiest grilled chicken -- and little else."

• Didos Al Dente Italian Phone: 20-2-735-9117 Google Map
  • Lonely Planet Selection: "A pasta joint popular with students from the nearby AUC, Didos comes pretty close to living up to its claim of making the best pasta in town."
