What to Know when Choosing your Cairo Food Restaurant

Published: 10/28/2009

Cairo food: Whether you're looking for a particular cuisine, or just looking for a nearby place to eat, restaurants in Cairo cater to every palate, be it Arabic, European and Indian, or even Far Eastern and Latin American.
It is really great if you know exactly what food your are looking for, also be open to restaurants within hotels partly because they serve not only their own guests, but also attract large numbers of local residents with a remarkably diverse range of food and beverage outlets, which makes Cairo an excellent place to sample all types of Gulf and Middle Eastern cuisine, including Iranian, Moroccan and Lebanese.
You can find restaurants with the perfect wine and dine Cairo food experience, created of characterized French rustic bar offering the widest selection of wines served to you.
The finest restaurants in Cairo largely reside inside the luxury hotels and are often the most popular, maybe because they are mostly the only restaurants that have an alcohol license. Bear in mind that as Cairo is part of a Muslim city, many restaurants, especially at the cheaper end of the market, are not licensed to serve alcohol. Also some gastronomic restaurants make a fair stab at being the most expensive restaurants in Cairo, without making any justice, as per many local opinions.
The pumping Arabic dance sounds can be a bit much for some, but this is the new face of Cairo and could take longer for some people to get use to it, if we can put it this way, or you could still go elsewhere.
Some of the Beautiful restaurants are also located on the Cairo Nile Banks, right down by the water's edge, and could be one of the few occasions in Cairo when you actually feel like you are in the true Middle East, with most breathtaking views of the Nile. In Khan El Khalili the historic area, prices are extremely reasonable, considering that you are sitting in the most visited streets of Cairo.
The culinary scene in Cairo is as diverse as you can get, with ranges from the dirt cheap to the properly exclusive, and this one city has little hidden gems that have been quietly tucked away for years, unchanged by Cairo's usually modernizing touches & glamorous makeovers, it is simply beautiful, and even better for restaurant’s time out in Cairo.
There is so much choice and many restaurants to recommend in Cairo, and if you are on holiday in Cairo, I would recommend you at least to dine once at a traditional Egyptian restaurant, for the warmest Egyptian hospitality you never experienced, with the very latest facilities, will be pleasantly memorable.
