Cairo · Heliopolis

Amphitryon

A Greek brasserie in Heliopolis, open since between the wars.

€€ Mid-range

Mezze, fish, cold beer and a decor that has not moved: one of the last addresses inherited from Cairo's Greek community, and one of the few Heliopolis tables where you drink with your meal.

The extra bit

Take the cold mezze and a beer: the formula the house exists for.

Know before you go

Heliopolis is far from the centre: allow thirty to fifty minutes by taxi depending on the hour.
