Cairo · Downtown
Estoril
A Downtown tavern where journalists, artists and regulars have met since 1969.
€€ Mid-range
Hidden in a passage off Talaat Harb street, a plain room serving mezze, grills and beer. The regulars make the place: one of the last tables in Cairo where politics and cinema are argued about until closing.
The extra bit
The entrance is in the passage, not on the street: look for the narrow door next to the bookshop.
Know before you go
Smoky, noisy room, old-fashioned service: you come for the place, not the menu.
