Felfela is one of those classic Cairo restaurants – loved equally by tourists and locals.
This cheery café is adorned with a simple rustic décor and a straightforward menu serving Egyptian classics. The dishes are very well priced and everything was tasty.

Tableya Masreya is one such spot serving home-style Egyptian food from secret family recipes that are well worth preserving.
Eating, traveling in and falling in love with Egypt
