Café Riche. كافيه ريش

Went to visit this historical café tucked away on a busy city street. Tried to order anise Tea and they told me they didn’t have any hot drinks available because their machine wasn’t working. Was able to get Turkish coffee… Confused?!?

Riche Café in the heart of Cairo has a fantastic atmosphere, with its charming, historic vibe. While it’s a great spot to relax, we were hoping to try traditional Egyptian breakfast items like foul and taameya, but sadly, they weren’t on the menu. Still, it’s a lovely place to enjoy a coffee or pastry in the city’s vibrant center.

مكان رائع تستمتع فيه بوقتك. Great Experience in Luxury Restaurant and Café and you will find warm welcome from professional nice and helpful staff with smile on their faces and the place is cozy and well located and decorated and the atmosphere is amazing and the service is excellent.

Went there because it was supposed to be one of the old nice places in Cairo, just to discover the degradation of everything First the place is not well aerated, the smell of cigartes is so strong for an indoor place. There is only 1 very kind waiter taking orders, serving ...doing everything at the restaurant. We were 4 persons, they serve only 3 and they inform us that one of us will get his food later , as the chef just arrived and will start to grill the filet 🤔 we finish our main course and still they didn't serve the missing meal of the 4th person. This is where we decide to leave as no point to wait more time. When we ask for the bill we discover they don't take cards but only cash. The experience was not good, we do not recommend the place or if you decide to go don't have high expectation.

Place is fine but food was nothing but poor and expensive compared to other places. Maybe at some point in time this place was a reference. Dont plan to come back. Seen it.

Waiters are too slow and at times they appear to be clueless. Ordered chicken wings and it was a disaster.. ambiance is good

We came to see a historic cafe but were surprised to see an unfriendly, super rude blonde woman managing the place. It is a shame honestly to have someone like her manage the cafe. She did not allow us to sit inside where the intellectuals and revolutionaries used to meet. She allowed only outside, on the renovated modern section. No greetings whatsoever. The staff is terrified by her and thus didn’t get our order right. I don’t recommend visiting the cafe, it’s not worth it.

Avoid as a tourist. Avoid avoid avoid!!! Don't be fooled or lured by the interiors! As two tourists we went in for a small refreshment during a walk around the city, (a coffee and a pepsi). We asked for coca-cola but the waiter said they didn't have any even though serving it to another table. As we were leaving the same table stopped us and told us to be respectful when taking photos of the interior and not to include other people despite there being hundreds of photos on Google maps of the inside - they seemed to be affiliated with the cafe as they seemed to be getting preferential treatment and were entitled enough to tell off other tourists. The attitude of the staff changed when we didn't order food. Just avoid it completely. I would just open the door, have a look and leave; It looks nice inside but not worth going at all.
