A
1886 Restaurant
The 1886 is the gourmet restaurant in town, serving inventive Mediterranean-French food and a few Egyptian dishes with a twist, in a grand old-style dining room with very formal waiters. Guests are expected to dress up for the occasion – men wear a tie and/or jacket (some are available for borrowing) – and the food is superb and light. Delicacies include risotto of crayfish, truffle and chanterelles, sea scallops in artichoke broth and potato and celery ravioli. A grand evening out!

Revolving Restaurant
Located on the 41st floor of the Grand Hyatt, the Revolving Restaurant boasts some impressive stats: at 30m in diameter, the room rotates 360 degrees in 75 minutes, and takes in views of the Pyramids, the Nile and most of Cairo. While the revolving experience is enough of a reason to visit, the French haute cuisine prepared here in the show kitchen is nothing less than exquisite.

1902 Restaurant
Considered Aswan's finest restaurant, and certainly its most formal, this beautifully restored Moorish-style hall is definitely a treat. Dinner is a set four-course French-influenced menu, with a performance by local musicians. Unfortunately here, too, the food doesn't live up to the grandeur of the surroundings at all. Book ahead to reserve a table.

Le Bistro
Tucked away below street level, Le Bistro tries to evoke summery France with a blue-and-white colour scheme and Gallic crooners on the stereo. The food may not quite match its European ideal, but Francophone Cairenes love it, and steak frites can make a nice change from kebab.
