U Bistro & Bar

For one of the smartest European kitchen menus outside of Cairo’s grand hotels, head to U Bistro & Bar, the long-awaited replacement to the street’s famous former watering hole, La Bodega. The stylish restaurant is always packed for dinner, and the bar is livelier and less smoky than neighbourhood alternatives like Pub 28. Have an expertly mixed cocktail after a sirloin steak or seared scallops.
