Address: 157 26th of July, Cairo
We're talking upscale here: once you've made your entrance through a gigantic arched doorway, you'll be knocked out by the beautiful tiled floor and the elegance of the carved wooden chairs. The food is the equal of the décor. Stand-out items on the traditional Egyptian menu, which locals rate as authentic down-home, will be whatever the chef has...

Cedar's is the perfect place in which to relax, kick back and enjoy inexpensive but tasty Lebanese food in a great open-air atmosphere. The shish tawouk (chicken cubes) and the grilled lamb are just two of the superb dishes. This is a popular destination due to its good value and sparkling atmosphere. That's why it's always wise to make a...

This cozy hole-in-the-wall in the heart of one of Cairo's posher neighborhoods is the perfect place for a romantic dinner. The menu of French classics might be on the small side, but the execution of dishes such as lamb stewed in eggplant is brilliantly judged. Expats come for the authenticity of the cuisine, and perhaps also the well-stocked bar....

When the food's this good, what do we care if Cairo's premier Indian restaurant is named after a city in Afghanistan? Must-eats among an array of excellent dishes are the naans (the best in town, so throw away that carb-counter) and the succulent, spicy kebabs. Kandahar's calm makes is a refreshing change from the busy main drag of Mohandiseen....

Deprived of the knowledge that the word 'Baehler' stands above La Bodega's front door, you'd probably walk past this haunt of Cairo's affluent and trendy, who waft in to lounge in the lounge, pose at the bar and nibble and gossip in the restaurant. That would be a shame, as the (mainly French) food is excellent – particularly the salads – and the...

The current craze for Asian food has led to a rash of Thai restaurants in Cairo; none can compete with Lai Thai, first and still best kid on the block. The food is authentic, and you can request the exact level of spiciness that you'd like it to attain. Try the pad thai (noodles packed with beansprouts and nuts) – an expertly executed classic.

The popularity of tiny Maison Thomas – a European café-style establishment – is not only founded on its willingness to combat famine 24 hours per day. The food is great, in fact the thin, Italian-style pizza is probably the best of its kind in the city. There is also a wide range of high-quality salads and sandwiches on offer here, and the service...

Address: Corniche El Nile, 41st Floor, Grand Hyatt Cairo Hotel, Roda Island, Cairo
Certainly Egypt's loftiest restaurant, probably its classiest, but definitely not its cheapest, this venue caters to the city's movers and shakers. Forty-two stories atop the Grand Hyatt, it offers a splendid view of the entire city, a genteel but unforbidding atmosphere and genuine luxury. If that were not enough, the French cuisine is...

Address: 14 Abdel Hamid Lotfy St, Cairo
A deft combination of fusion, fun and reasonable prices has made Spectra a big success. Size matters here: there's no stinting with the wraps, which are a meal in themselves; its starters in general and its burgers in particular enjoy an impressive reputation, but it's the gigantic salads that are the biggest hit – the cheese salad is reckoned to...
