This is an old time favourite bar/bistro just around the corner from the apartment. The great thing about this classic tiny pub, is that it opens during the day as well, needs reservation if you are more than two people.

A cafe and more, this charming place is a favourite with the artistic/bohemian crowd, set in an old zamalek apartment, each room with different seating. Often has live music or poetry reading. The place has a large library if you wanna read a bit and wifi is available too.. there’s food as well but stick to the basics.
