Sequoia restaurant is the chic, sophisticated restaurant on Zamalek island on the Nile, serving a mix of Egyptian, Lebanese and European cuisine - even a sushi bar!
An elegant lounge in a white tent lit up with lanterns filled with ferns and low comfy white seats strewn with pillows, it's the perfect place to smoke hookah and sip a cocktail.
The lentil soup came deconstructed, the crispy crouton and citrus garnishes on the side to assemble.
Voila! Delicious, creamy and yet still light and satisfying. Sequoia on the Nile was the perfect place for our last night in Cairo.
