Café Riche

It's not easy to find such an atmospheric restaurant in Cairo. The waiters are all dressed neatly, even the old men are wearing suits and ties, which is in stark contrast to the messy downtown Cairo. The food is average, and the service is very slow. If you are in a hurry to eat, it is not recommended. But if you are with two or three people to take a break and chat, it is highly recommended.

The decoration of the store is not to my liking. I feel that many stores in Cairo are old-fashioned. However, I am still satisfied with the coffee in the store, and the local waiters are also very enthusiastic.

A small local cafe where you can experience the life of the locals and the food is pretty good.

Very good, you can come here when you have time...

Café Riche is said to be the oldest and most famous coffee shop in Cairo. It opened in 1908 at 29 Talaat Harb Street and is one of the most famous landmarks in downtown Cairo. The cafe has become a gathering place for intellectuals and revolutionaries at different times and has witnessed many historical events. Café Riche is one of the most famous cafes in Cairo, and perhaps the most notorious. In the 20th century, Riche Cafe did not warmly welcome anyone (tourists). Its regulars were people from Egypt's cultural and intellectual circles. It was the center for large literary and intellectual groups to gather. During the 2011 revolution, it was a refuge for many protesters in the city. Others were often told to leave. After experiencing Egypt's century of turmoil, it reopened after the 1990s. It is the special charm of the cafe that has attracted more tourists. Now it is very welcoming to foreign tourists. The cafe has not changed much. There are still many black and white portraits of politicians on the wall, and impassioned speeches in the bookcases. In the details, you can explore Egypt's political history.
