An exceptional dining experience from start to finish. The cuisine is absolutely top notch fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Whether you’re here for a relaxing breakfast or a romantic dinner, the ambiance is unmatched, especially on the terrace overlooking the Nile. The view is stunning at any time of day, and the atmosphere is both elegant and welcoming. Service was attentive, professional, and warm without being intrusive. Highly recommended for anyone looking to enjoy great food in one of the most iconic settings Zamalek has to offer. A true gem by the river. A wonderful place by the Nile to sit and relax after a long day, but difficult to get a reservation so try to to that early on. The scene is so inviting and calming. The food and dessert are great as well. Definitely a place to visit if you’re in Cairo Wow this restaurant served the best food and wine. The staff were so friendly and funny. They made sure we had everything we needed. The view is great directly in front of the Nile. It was a lovely fine dine experience without the extra formalities. They gave us recommendations that did not disappoint. The steaks were my favourite. The elevator broke down tho and we had no other option of going down and the manager refused to give me a free glass of wine which was sad. Would definitely recommend the restaurant and definitely planning on coming again in my next trip to Egypt.
