Cairo · Maadi

Lucille's

Cairo's American burger since the 1990s, in a Maadi diner.

€€ Mid-range

A neighbourhood address founded by an American living in Cairo, now a Maadi institution: thick burgers, milkshakes, booths. The canteen of the district's families and expats for thirty years.

The extra bit

Portions are American-sized: one burger and fries feed two average appetites.

Know before you go

Maadi is far from the centre: delivery covers the district, rarely beyond.
