Hey all -

Would love to join in on this one day, but for now, sorry to hijack the thread, but has anyone been to L'aubergine? Thinking of going there for a bday party. Thoughts would be appreciated.

cheers,
Joe

been there, it's great- can be a bit quiet, but good food, alcohol, very reasonable prices

Hey guys, i invite you all to a meal that you will never forget, and never tasted before, since you are all in Egypt you must try something crazy and new, i invite u all to a meal called fata (this is Arabic word).
If anyone is interested plz vote

mmmmmmmmmmmm fata

Hmmm...yeah, I've heard the food is good. Any suggestions for a place with great food, booze and vibes? And not dead? haha. Thanks.

It is great one

YS I am a part of a close knit group of friends who go out every Tuesday Night, hense our name 'The Tuesday Nighters' and we try and go to different places every Tuesday. Most of us are based in Heliopolis, but we do venture to Maadi, Zamalek and Mohendiseen to try restaurants there.
If you're interested in joining us let me know.
I'm also interested in going out to other places and meeting new people, so I'm game.

Hi,
I'm quite new to Cairo and I'm living in Heliopolis for the next year(ish), moved here about 2 months ago from the UK with work. I'm always up for eating out with people or going to the opera house - is it ok to tag along some time if you're going out? I'm trying to meet expats here as I don't know many so far and it's nice to talk to people on familiar ground sometimes :-)

"Any suggestions for a place with great food, booze and vibes? And not dead? "

I think you've stumped everyone with this!

Pls count me in... (once a location has been picked....)

all sounds great, am looking to venture to many restaurants while i am here. I am Operations chef for a restaurant group Richoux. so looking to see whats out there.

I went to one of the Richoux tea rooms recently, in City Stars, and it was really nice :-) assume that's the same chain? Anyway hopefully we'll meet up some time soon at the next gathering - I would organise something but I don't know Cairo that well in terms of places to go out in the evening.

Anything happening next week? Can someone take a leap and propose somewhere? :-)

Noooo!! There's gotta be a place no?! The closest I've found so far is La Bodega, but the smoke in there was intense. So weird being in a resto/bar where everyone is smoking.

Pub 28 , harry's pub & sekoya are great places to try !!

Enjoy

Please count me in. Would love to make new friends over a good dinner. I am based in Heliopolis but don't mind going to the other side of Cairo.

what about if you start to ecide a place and time and vote who will join and so on

who is this elusive 'you' who chooses a place?

K, shall we say next tues, weds or thursday? somewhere in Mohandeseen or Zamalek? Any other preferences?

the Abou Sid in Maadi is a nice place....nice patio. Good food. Who wants to give it a try ?

Hi, it's difficult getting people together, whatever country you're in! :-(
a few of us are meeting for a drink tonight at Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf in Zamalek for about 8pm - come along if you can :-D Maybe then we'll have more luck organising dinner for another day.

Have you been in Al Azhar bark

so true

Love the idea if u r planning to go out in heliopolis area I would recommend a new restaurant/bistro that opened lately in the korba right next to deals pub called (chophouse) but u need to make reservation 1st as its gets very busy in the wkends

hi all ill move to cairo early jan. 2011, will be great to drop straight into a social network :-)  drop my a line  isw1965@gmail.com

Hi all, thought we should organise another social mixer now we're in a new year and there are some new members around :-) I would post this in a new topic but I must be blind and/or stupid cos I can't work out how to do that! Hope everyone sees this.

How about we meet at 8pm Friday 14th Jan at our old favourite(), Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf in Zamalek, near 26th July street (see link for details: Coffee bean location ) I'll sit inside, probably upstairs as there's more room for a group. For the new folks, look for the ginger hair, you can't miss me .
Who's in?

Just to clarify, anyone can come, it's an open invitation to anyone on the Cairo forum who wants to make friends whether expat or Egyptian. If lots of people can't make Friday, let me know, it's flexible so we can change the day with a little warning
Hope to see lots of you there,
Elaine

Sounds good to me!

Sounds great to me also. Will be nice to finally meet some of you in person. Thanks for organizing Elaine. Cheers!

lol yeah I figured most of us have already spent far too much time aimlessly exploring the place and getting strange looks from people. Just hope there's room for us!

Yay, a meet-up on a Friday! I'll be there isA and hope to bring my flatmate along too.

Looking forward to it!

It is a very suitable time to me too, see you there all.

Will be in visit for cairo soon ...

Hi dr.tott,

The German expatriates in Cairo network might help you to find some contacts.

Good luck.

I would love to come! See you there

Sofia from Sweden
