Eish and Malh

Located at 20 Adly Street in a restored Downtown building directly across from a historic synagogue, Eish and Malh (Arabic for bread and salt) operates as an Italian-inflected cafe and restaurant with serious espresso. The venue regularly hosts live music events including Dinner and Oud and Brunch and Jazz, drawing a culturally minded local crowd. Its setting in one of Downtown Cairo's preserved early twentieth century streets adds architectural character that few other cafes in the city can match.
