The Ultimate Guide to Eid Breakfast Spots

Ramadan is over so start wheeling in the eggs Benedict and croissants because we’re once again back to our colonised roots. Jokes aside, Eid is finally upon us which gives us all the more reason to start re-aligning our throat chakras with the help of some ta3meya and a sprinkle of grilled halloumi.

There's nothing quite like an Egyptian breakfast from Marzipan

MARZIPAN // NEW CAIRO 

This baby pink local gem is located in the heart of New Cairo and offers the biggest array of breakfast options we’ve seen thus far. You’re craving a little boujee smoked salmon and cream cheese moment? Marzipan. Do you want to be neck-deep in a’sal bel teheena? Marzipan.
