Beano's

The other long-standing Cairo chain, for late breakfasts and informal meetings.

€€ Mid-range

Comfortable rooms, tables big enough for a laptop, and a breakfast menu served until late. It is the default work meeting spot for part of the city, with the lunchtime hum that implies.

The extra bit

Ask for a table near a socket: they are scarce and never marked.

Know before you go

The wifi sometimes needs a code printed on the receipt: keep it until you leave.
