    Upmarket restaurant with a dress code. Great service and tasty menu at a price. We were the only guests when we arrived unknowing of the dresscode. My husband wore shorts and we were both wearing tshirts. It could be our ignorance for not checking the standards but we were the only guests, of course it would be bad business to turn us away. Albeit we were hidden away from all roving eyes. The good thing about being furthest away from everyone else is that we were not bothered by smoke, ashtrays are on every table. Great quality food with a pricetag to boot. As nondrinkers we were surprised to be given a bill for the equivalent of $75 USD. Can't complain the service was excellent and the food was great. They charged us a cover charge, service charge of 12% and a VAT of 14%. It all adds up. As service charge is included we didn't tip. Is this normal?

    Well... ! U Bistro is kind of one of the expensive dine-outs "European Prices" spots in Cairo. During my stay I'd say one of the best 10 places i have eaten at in Cairo. The place has its own vibe the wine is great, they have indoor smoking too and they have their own bar for drinkes or tables for a proper meal. Booking in advance is recommended. The view is good the decorations and music all good.... Its a great place if you're hanging out in a date. Their service is great overall, Professional. No fussing with clients. They're presentable and decent people. I recommend that place for a proper dinner out for 2 or a small group of 4 people

    The place vibes and decor is really nice. Very elegant and clean with amazing view. Food is as expected in a decent restaurant , good taste and good quality. However very limited menu selection and prices are at the higher average. Service was the disappointment. One waiter for the whole place, no professional hospitality service that u would expect with such vibes and orders came missing items beside stuff members walking around in casual outfits that would cause confusion. Overall it is a place with great potential but management needs to revisit its vision and process

    The only nice thing is the decoration. Food isn’t that much , staff need to be more professional , not a healthy place bcc people are allowed to smoke indoors, it’s very bad smell around , not good vibes. Will not be back again . لاتنسى تضغط لايك شاكرة لك 🌷

    I didn’t like this restaurant at all. It’s a waste of time and money. For what you get the food is pricey and standard. The place itself was completely empty when I had lunch, lacking of character and atmosphere. The Salad I ordered was nearly sunken in a thick sauce, and the “home made” pasta half-cooked. Correct service.

    We had fun, the staff were friendly and tried to help to the best they can. The food was really good. I tried the salmon and it was delicious. A good experience in over all. They allow smoking indoors, so expect people to be smoking.

  • 4/5 Andy R. 3 years ago on Google
    I really liked the place and the atmosphere, everything was good except 2 parts: 1- The costly service (You will be charged for more than what you order due to high vat and high service charge) The first point didn't bother me much as i expected to pay when going to a fancy place and the place was really fancy 2- Which is the point that made me give 4 stars instead of 5 is because the waiters were standing there staring at us which made me and my friends really uncomfortable, if they take care of that everything else will be perfect! Overall, had a good time.

    U-bistro is fine dinning place which means portions are smaller in size ( but tasty) you will need reservation to get in. Menu is mostly about meat cuts, sea food and some pasta. Place serves alcohol but cocktails are skinny ...

    Perfect restaurant. Great service. The staff were friendly, polite and cooperative. Their food, beverages and dessert was excellent. May their business get them lots of fortune, name and fame. I wish them good luck in reaching their top of their game.

    It is a fancy restaurant. Very common to see celebrities late at night. Service is good but it is expensive. They don’t have variety of plates for chicken. It is perfect for those who like to have alcohol drinks or for a first date to impress ur lover.

    Perhaps the most delicious pasta in Egypt. for 5 years of my stay in this country, this is the best thing I have ever eaten. The prices are above average, a lunch with a beer for two is at least 1 k EGP.

  • 5/5 Mike L. 1 year ago on Google • 69 reviews
    Kind of on the expensive side but if you can afford to go here, do it. Very nice ambiance and the servers were attentive. Didn't have what i first wanted but made it up with the salmon meal. Prepared exactly how i wanted it. The wine was amazing. Love the scenery. Sorry we were having a disagreement at our table but the staff still handled the situation properly and let us argue. Paid and left. Next time, I'll come here alone or on a date. Appreciate everything.

    Excellent and very friendly service, great food, but if you're going for a nice quiet dinner, make sure you leave before 9pm as the music gets louder and louder catering to the bar scene. Mid to high prices. Portions could be more for price, but not too bad.

    The food quality was terrible, also the menu items are very scarce the vegan and vegetarian options. Shrimps are frozen and cooked poorly. However, the staff and the service were super good.

    * located at first Floor at a Building in Zamalek in Cairo Egypt. * Decoration is Old Mixed Styles Designs or you Can Say no Specific Style. * Atmosphere is Quite, Cold , Heavy and Dull . * If you are Not Known that's what you Will Face ::: * Welcoming is Bad By all the Meaning of the Word Bad . * Rough Security Guard that have no Manners as Usual that thinks He is the Owner of the Place. * Manager of the Place is worse than the Security Guard. * Services is Not Up to the Reputation and the Name of this Place . * Waiter's are Arrogant. * Faul Air like an Old Warehouse. * Prices are Expensive doesn't Match the Services. * Experience that you have to try By Yourself to Judge.

    They don't care enough about customers (or aren't intelligent enough) to list accurate hours on Google. I would never eat somewhere where the owners and staff are so lazy, careless, and stupid.

    Came here after watching a performance at the Cairo 🇪🇬 Opera House. We didn’t have a reservation but the place was happy to accomodate us & we loved it - the food 🍽️, service 🙋🏻, the music 🎶 and the general vibe. As an 🇦🇺, I got super excited when I saw ‘Australian Ribe Eye 🥩’ on the menu and of course, had to try it! It’s definitely a bit pricier 💸 than other restaurants in Cairo however, definitely one to try!

  • 4/5 Susanne P. 3 years ago on Google
    It was pleasant, the place is classy with a nice view, the food is really good yet pricey. We were there quite early so it was really calm. We ordered salmon and the croquettes mentioned on the menu didn't come. After asking for them we learnt that they were actually not available, so we asked for something else instead. After we finished food we got some fries that were not very nice. If not for this very unnecessary event it would have been a perfect experience.
