Granita Cairo

Granita is named after a refreshing Italian ice drink that was popular in Egypt during the early 20th century, and this ‘concept cafeteria’ sets out to create a modern take on that era’s grand cosmopolitan cafes. Located in the All Saints Church complex in Zamalek, Granita feels more like an all-day casual restaurant, alive with the buzz of circling waiters and families enjoying breakfast platters. It offers an extensive and sophisticated menu, including breakfast of all varieties, French bistro mains and desserts, and even a loosely defined list of “Silk Road regional plates”.

Nestled next to the All Saints Cathedral in Zamalek is the newly-opened Granita, a "concept cafeteria" that's a nod to the 'grand cafes' of Egypt back in the 1930s and 1940s - think Groppi and other vintage cosmopolitan cafes. They have both an indoor and outdoor area perfect for sunny brunches, work meetings and or just enjoying a coffee and pastry solo. They offer breakfast, sandwiches, salads, pienirli (Greek pizzas), appetizers, main plates and homemade desserts.

Granita is a unique dining destination in Egypt, famous for its charming blend of contemporary and classic design elements. Originally located within the All Saint’s Cathedral in Zamalek, Granita has recently expanded to a new branch in Sheikh Zayed’s Arkan Plaza. The restaurant’s atmosphere is improved by its Art Deco aesthetic, featuring bold colors and intricate decor that create a warm and inviting dining setting​.

At Granita, eating their French onion soup is like wrapping yourself in a cosy blanket on a rainy day. It’s the kind of dish that instantly warms you from the inside out, turning any meal into a moment of pure comfort. One spoonful and you'll wonder why you even bothered ordering anything else.

Granitais definitely a place to relax, cool down, to enjoy refreshing drinks and delicious food. Named after the popular semi-frozen dessert, it’s a great hangout locals appreciate. The colorful café on the Grounds of All Saints Cathedral in Zamalek offers Egyptian and International eats.

Located on the grounds of All Saints Cathedral, Granita’s breakfast and lunch items are delicious yet light enough to keep you energized for the rest of the day. Its relaxing atmosphere is reminiscent of older Cairo and perfect for catching up with friends in the sunlight.
