Cairo

Lebanese restaurants in Cairo

  1. A

    Dar El Amar

    The challenge at this popular Lebanese floating restaurant is to draw your eyes away from the Nile views long enough to make a choice from the 53 mezze on offer. Unlike many other eateries on the river, prices are reasonable and you don't have to be wearing designer glad rags to score a table. A Stella costs E£24.

  2. B

    Sabaya

    Lebanese cuisine is Egypt’s most common ‘ethnic’ food, but it’s rarely done as well as it is here, where the diverse and delicate mezze come with fresh-baked pillows of pita, and mains such as fatta are served in individual cast-iron pots. The setting is very sleek, but considering portion sizes are generous and sharing is the norm, the prices are not as high as you would expect.

  3. C

    Papillion

    Rapidly acquiring the reputation of being Cairo's second-best Lebanese restaurant (after Sabaya), Papillion offers excellent mezze dishes (try the goat-milk labneh and vine leaf dolma) and delectable grills (we reckon it serves the best shish tawouq in the city). It also home delivers.
