El Abd
The patisserie where you eat standing on the pavement, and where the queue is part of the pleasure.
€ Budget
A Downtown institution: oriental sweets by weight, ice cream, and a crowd spilling into the street at all hours. You pay at the till, hand the ticket to the counter, and eat outside with everyone else.
The extra bit
Take the cream konafa over the baklava: it is the house specialty.
Know before you go
Cash and small change. The queue is shorter mid-afternoon than after dinner.
