139 Pavilion

We were staying in another hotel in the area and decided to up our game and go for a fancy dinner close by at the Marriott. It was absolutely amazing with a poolside band over dinner and incredible service led by Kamel. We loved it so much we changed our plans and went back for another dinner the following night before we went home. The backdrop of the pyramids is absolutely stunning and unbelievable.

139 Pavilion at Marriott Mena House is one of those rare places where the view alone makes the visit worthwhile. Dining with the Great Pyramid right in front of you is an unforgettable experience. The outdoor seating area is peaceful and beautifully set, making it a perfect spot for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. The food is solid — a good mix of international and local dishes — and the breakfast buffet in particular has plenty of variety. While the flavors may not be groundbreaking, the quality is consistent and the service is warm and attentive. If you're visiting Cairo, this is a must-visit restaurant for the atmosphere alone. Pairing a decent meal with a view of one of the world’s greatest wonders? Hard to beat.

An unforgettable dining experience! This restaurant is a true hidden gem — located within a stunningly beautiful hotel that looks like it came straight out of a movie. The setting is elegant, refined, and perfect for a special occasion or simply enjoying a memorable meal. The food is absolutely exquisite — sophisticated, full of flavor, and beautifully presented. Each dish reflects careful preparation and high-quality ingredients, making the entire experience feel truly elevated. The view is nothing short of spectacular. Whether during the golden hour or under the stars, the landscape surrounding the restaurant adds a magical touch to the entire evening. It’s worth noting that prices are on the higher end, which matches the fine-dining experience offered. Additionally, a 12% service charge and 14% VAT are added to the final bill — something to keep in mind when planning your visit. All in all, a luxurious and unforgettable place to dine. Highly recommended for those looking to combine exceptional cuisine with breathtaking scenery.

Came for pre dinner drinks and had a lovely experience. We were not hotel guests but had dinner reservations at the Indian restaurant on property. The staff was very welcoming and served us with a smile. The views of the pyramids and the hotel gardens were amazing. At night the courtyard was magical and the staff offered to help us with some photos. Overall a wonderful experience!

139 Pavilion at Marriott Mena House is a 24/7 restaurant serving all the local classics and some international dishes as well. This restaurant has a fantastic asset: The view of the pyramids of Giza you get from the restaurant is breathtaking ! The food is nice too, but you definitely wanna have at least one dinner there during your stay at Marriott Mena House and that's for the view !

This place is a mixed bag. Where do I start? Positives: The place has a stunning view of the pyramids from its courtyard and there are plenty of tables for dining. Its beautiful water feature is a great spot for photos. The time I arrived, my hotel did not end up making a reservation on my behalf so when I got there there were no tables available. In saying that, the hostess was an absolute star! She told me to give her some time so she could find a table for me. I think I waited maybe only 10-15 mins while I took photos before a table was ready. (Marriott Mena Hotel Management, take note!) we also got to enjoy the traditional Egyptian dance (floating skirt) was really cool to watch and the guy stopped by our table for photos and videos, which was a great experience. Now, the negatives…Firstly, the waiters kept pushing us to go for the buffet which we were not interested in because we wanted to try local food, and the buffet was basically international fare. We ordered the Egyptian Mashawy which was a mixed meat grilled platter and honestly, the food was dry/burnt and we couldn’t tell what was what because the food was really dark as it was also dark at our table as well. We also ordered a mint lemonade mocktail but what they gave us had no real mint nor lemons. It came in a bright neon green and had a hint of menthol, which I assumed was the mint flavouring. I couldn’t get over the taste so did not finish the drink. Lastly, this is to no fault of the hotel but just for awareness that once the sun sets, the pyramids do not light up at night (like in the photos), so you’ll practically be staring out into the darkness (and stars) while you become an open buffet for the mosquitoes. TLDR; Take the snaps, tip the hostess, stay for the show, skip the food & drinks.

Incredible space with the backdrop of the pyramids whilst you eat dinner! Was our first stop in Cairo for dinner and although the food wasn't the best we have ever eaten it was certainly top notch and worth the visit. Prices were very reasonable given the location and the service was great. Highly recommend.

My wife and I traveled from Dubai to start our marriage journey and chose this restaurant for its beautiful pyramid views. The view and food fully met our expectations, and prices were very reasonable compared to Dubai. Special thanks to Hussien, who, despite not being assigned to our table, greeted us warmly, smiled throughout, and even helped us take wonderful photos. He truly stands out as a model of professional service. The restaurant manager and female senior staff member were also highly professional and welcoming, creating an excellent atmosphere. Unfortunately, our assigned waiter, Omar, showed a careless and indifferent attitude from the beginning. His interactions felt cold and dismissive, and he even responded mockingly when there was a small misunderstanding about the bill. It’s disappointing to experience such behavior in an otherwise outstanding team—it felt like one bad apple tainting the hard work of many. Overall, the view, food, and most of the staff were fantastic, and I truly hope the management addresses this so the experience can be perfect for future guests.
