It's very easy to find many options for restaurants in Maadi, but having a cozy European-style square with so many options is what sets the Courtyard Maadi apart.
After you have entered through the gate, you can enjoy a small walk in the open area which will give your kids the opportunity to play with some songs and music around or you to have a romantic talk while walking or sitting near the small gardens.
During Ramadan, you will get the classic atmosphere of the celebrations in this month through the decorations that are typically copied from the original ones, especially the coloured textiles and lights. Also, Christmas trees and lights will be there during New Year's and Christmas. Over the year, you can attend some concerts by young Arab singers or underground bands.
Although almost all of the restaurants and cafes have a direct view to the square, I would recommend café Supreme on the second floor, which I have tried before. In their menu, you can find various kinds of tasty pasta. I think their seafood pasta is the best. A classic cup of cappuccino in the warm sunny winter will do the trick.
For gym lovers, they can do sports with this beautiful view in the gym in the courtyard.
