Buddah Bar, Sofitel, Cairo

[roxlet]

My 12 year-old son really wanted sushi, so I decided that the only place in Cairo I'd allow him to have some would be at a hotel restaurant. The Buddah Bar was huge, very well-decorated and completely empty from the minute we walked in at about 7:30 until we left at 8:45. We sat outside, Nile-side, and broke the bank with a relatively small amount of food. We had two apps, two mains, I had a beer and my son had a sprite and we're talking $120. Definitely NY prices, and I think we paid everyone's salary tonight. Nonetheless, if you're in Cairo and craving sushi, it was very good here as was the seared salmon teriyaki and Thai shrimps in red curry. The most we've paid for dinner until now was $20!
