Estoril
Walking into Estoril (from an alley next to the Amex office) can be a little awkward: stroll through clouds of cigarette smoke, past booths crammed with Cairo’s arts-and-letters set, then get the attention of a waiter, which is no mean feat. Once seated, though, you’ll feel like one of the club, scooping up simple mezze and ordering beer after beer. It’s not uncommon to see women alone here, and the bar in the back is a good place to perch for a shorter stay.

Taboula
The Lebanese food at this basement joint isn't as good as Sabaya's, but the atmosphere is more fun - here it's all big groups of Cairenes celebrating birthdays around giant communal tables, with lots of cocktails to go around. Mezze like the tomiyya (garlic sauce) are your best bet, but skip the meatballs.

Abdu Kofta
Locals will swear black and blue that this is the best restaurant in town. In the clean and cool 1st-floor room, it serves kofta or grilled meat by the weight served with good mezze and salads.
