When Louis Armstrong sang “stars shining right above you… night breezes seem to whisper I love you,” he could have been dedicating it to Grand Nile Towerand its most magnificent and unique Revolving Restaurant.
Located atop of the Grand Nile Towerhotel with a separate entrance and a spaceship-like structure, the restaurant has got plenty of qualities and privileges to offer its guests. To start with, venue’s ambiance is unforgettable, masterfully transferring you into a world of chic and glamour: huge windows instead of walls make the sky and the glimmering stars more accessible, the shining ceiling is held in blue tones (stars are included as well!), making the atmosphere even more romantic; whereas the tiny candles and the splendid view will fill you with awe and admiration. As you could get it from the name, the Revolving Restaurant rotates 360 degrees in one hour, showing its guests a great collection of capital’s greatest views, ranging from the eastern and western banks of the Nile to the great Pyramids.
Venue’s service and its rainbow of palatable dishes are also noteworthy. All prepared by the place’s talented chef, the food offered is a nice blend of the purest French traditions. Start your journey into this world of French taste with the tantalizing starters like Lobster or Beef Salads or the sensational Consommé Soup, masterfully combining juicy beef and egg white. Yummy Pan Fried Scallops served with cauliflower, apple foam, two pieces of scallops and black mushrooms are also noteworthy; while those in a mood for some Egyptian touch should try out the place’s famous Chicken Breast Supreme for the main. Fusing together chicken breast with perciatelli pasta, two kinds of mushroom Chanterelle and cream sauce topped with Philadelphia cream cheese, the dish creates an extravaganza of tastes. Masterfully blending French and Egyptian flavors in one dish, this item has definitely got an additional home-made appeal; while their most amazing Seared Salmon served with black lentils, horseradish foam and seasonal vegetables is yet another delicate seafood experience that links directly to your soul delights.
Eagerly flipping the menu, you will notice that the restaurant’s vegetarian menu stretches far beyond the horizon, proudly displaying such items as the sought-after Butter Gnocchi (four types of mushrooms and sliced potatoes served with the most breathtaking sauce and parmesan shavings) – an item that will really tickle your taste buds!
As for the desserts, don’t fail to savor the Chocolate Fondant, brought to you with your selection of fruits, ice cream and whipped cream or the renowned Mille Feuille, plus any other item from their long list of French baked goods and pastries.
The service will not disappoint you either, as it is literally perfect, starting from their welcoming hosts, the attending and keen waiters to the dedicated chefs…
Indeed, nothing can get better than this! Choose this restaurant for special occasions and you won’t regret it.
