An artist and writer meeting place tucked away in a small alley. Always buzzing. The spotless tables inside the luxurious but stuffy restaurant are not the draw. Instead, head for the shabbier tables in the enclosed split-level garden beneath a thin canopy. Here loquacious locals polish off beers and carry on late into the night. Watch your food—a sculpted waterfall in one corner gives frisky cats a way in. The restaurant offers a selection of overpriced Egyptian and International cuisine. No need to eat in the restaurant, however, as affordable and delicious mezzes can be ordered from the garden with chilled beer and sheesha. Steaming hot fuul beans and swollen termis (lupine seeds) come gratis in the cafe.
