Le Bistro

French cuisine in Cairo

An odd little restaurant, Le Bistro is easy to miss because it's located well below street level. Ambience is a bit strange with blue paint and bright lights giving it the feeling that you're in an aquarium looking out, but it's extremely clean and service is very pleasant. Operated by the same management that does catering for the French Cultural Center, Le Bistro offers a Cairo spin on French fare. Try the chicken in red wine sauce with a side of pasta and grilled vegetables, and order the profiteroles for dessert. Though this isn't Paris, it can be a welcome change in the middle of the desert.
