Bell's Cairo
Morning date
Maadi is considered to be one of the calmest districts in Cairo, and Egyptians used to tell many jokes about Maadi and how you can easily get lost there because it's full of small squares and many flower shops.
We found Bell's in the greenest area in Maadi, and walking through the calm streets to get there is a nice short walk that I really enjoy. The place is highly recommended by Facebook food pages and our friends because it has a great menu, great location, a kid's area, and a variety of recipes for breakfast, dinner and appetizers, also with drinks.
Bell's is my favorite place for a morning date in Maadi, with its calm green area near the restaurant. There are plenty of options for breakfast, and I especially recommend the omelets and eggs with cheese or mushroom. The tuna salad or chicken salads are also very good choices with any kind of bread and toast.
During family gatherings there, your kids will be very happy with the perfect kid's area in the garden, and it's highly recommended to shoot some photos for them there.
