Food & Drink

Cairo

Andrea Restaurant Giza

This beloved family-style Egyptian restaurant near the Giza pyramids serves whole rotisserie chicken, fresh bread baked in a clay oven, and cold salads on long communal tables in a garden setting. It is a Cairo institution and the relaxed outdoor environment is perfect for a late lunch after a full morning of ancient sites.

Cairo

Maison Thomas

One of Cairo's oldest and most beloved pizza and sandwich restaurants, Maison Thomas has been feeding families since 1922 with thin-crust pies, fresh-squeezed juice, and a relaxed diner atmosphere that works well for all ages. The Zamalek branch is slightly more upscale but the Heliopolis original has the most old-world character.

Cairo

Sequoia Restaurant

Perched on the northern tip of Zamalek along the Nile, Sequoia serves Lebanese and Egyptian mezze in an open-air garden setting with river views and enough space for kids to move around between courses. The grilled halloumi, hummus platters, and fresh bread are reliably crowd-pleasing for families with picky eaters.

El-Fishawy Cafe

Tucked inside a narrow alley in the heart of Khan el-Khalili, El-Fishawy has been serving mint tea and hibiscus karkadeh continuously since 1773, making it one of the oldest cafes in the world. Order a round of cold drinks and a plate of basbousa cake and soak up the lantern-lit atmosphere with the family.

Cairo

Koshary El Tahrir

Kick off the trip with Egypt's beloved national street dish at this legendary no-frills spot steps from Tahrir Square. Kids love building their own bowls with lentils, pasta, rice, and crispy onions, and the chaotic open kitchen is a show in itself.
