I had breakfast here for one week during my stay in Cairo. The breakfast was rich and included a wide variety of foods, both Egyptian and International. You could enjoy the Nile view while sipping your tea/coffee and listening to Italian music from the ‘60s. The staff was extremely kind, in particular Aya who was always ready to help me when I needed something. Highly recommended.

The breakfast has a variety of good quality options with some traditional Egyptian breakfast options too. The staff is always willing to help and super friendly. Ahmad Mohammed and Ahmad Ala are two staff members that are giving a very high level of hospitality care for my family, very friendly, preparing us traditional Egyptian breakfast foods too.

Our host Aya kindly took us around the breakfast area describing the huge range of freshly prepared food. Falafel & pita bread were especially nice prepared by the chef , we enjoyed our breakfast immensely whilst staying at the Kempsinki Hotel.
Thank you to all the staff and helping me learn Arabic words and phrases.

Terrible. There was no atmosphere or ambience at all. The service was bad and the food was ridiculously overpriced, terrible value. The focaccia was normal bread. The “olive oil” was some kind of cheap mixed oil and it gave my parents severe indigestion. Even though it wasn’t busy at all, the service was very slow and we waited half an hour for dessert, and they accidentally charged us for 2 bottles of wine instead of 2 glasses. The food was shockingly average for its price. Here the prawn pasta was 1200 EGP, in another hotel’s restaurant we paid a quarter of the price for lobster pasta. The restaurant itself was nothing special, it was the same place as the breakfast buffet. No music. No views.

Overall it is good, as vegetarians, our choice in breakfast was limited
It would have been nice if we had some personal service in terms of our dietary needs.
On the last day Ayman was gracious and actually asked me how the porridge was. I did explain taht we make it differently much mire thick and add fruits to it. He asked me if He could change it. I was short of time so declined. Also i felt many times that the coffee came and then milk took time, or the cutlery was not there and you were constantly looking for it
Service could have been better
There were options but limited for total vegetarians and we did get fed up eating the same breakfast

An amazing breakfast! I wanted to try Egyptian food and my host, Aya was extremely helpful in introducing me to delicious Egyptian food on offer. For those non adventurous guests there was an excellent array of any western and Chinese food. Definitely would recommend to anyone staying in Cairo

The breakfast buffet is amazing. It has everything you can possibly ask for and more. Our hostess Aya was polite and courteous. She even suggested a dish we should try and prepared and brought it to our table herself. Thank you everyone at Blue Restaurant!

We had an excellent breakfast whilst staying in the hotel. Our host Aya was very helpful, and particularly proactive and thoughtful in finding some Egyptian breakfast dishes for us to try when we said that we enjoyed them. The dishes she brought were delicious, and we would not have tried them without her!

This is the casual restaurant attached to the Kempinski Hotel and it is where they serve their buffet breakfast. They have an incredibly wide range of options from continental European breakfast to stewed Egyptian fava beans. The Egyptian style pitta breads (baladi) are made fresh and constant brought out throughout. There is a counter where they will make egg dishes and pancakes to order. Overall it is one of the best breakfast options of its style available.
Our waiter Ayman, asked if we wouldn’t mind giving a review and I am very happy to oblige. He was friendly, attentive and polite. His level of service and that of his colleagues was the highest I have experienced at a buffet breakfast by a long way.

The Blue Restaurant and Grill is one of the restaurants located in the Kempinski Nile Hotel and it's the designated breakfast location for all guests. As my trip around Egypt began and now ends in Cairo, I had the opportunity to sample food from a variety of restaurants from across the country and I can easily say that The Blue Restaurant is hands down the best in that regard. Everything from the simplest pastry to the most complex dishes are always made to a high standard, and the way the team manages it with such ease is impressive. The service is second to none with each member of staff taking a genuine interest in your experience. Special mention to Mino Malak who introduced me to Egyptian Feteer which I'm so glad I was able to try.

Wonderful but short business stay in Cairo. Very happy to have stayed at Kempinski Nile Hotel. Had great views and the team was wonderful. Especially Aya was a start at the breakfast buffet and made sure I was properly introduced to the classic Egyptian dishes. Thanks.

A wide variety of foods to meet the preferences of anyone: fruits, pastries, Asian, Egyptian, cereal, gluten free options, an omelet station and even a menu you can place your own order. The servers are sweet and welcoming, a friendly face every morning. We’ve loved being served by Aya each morning, who is great about greeting us with our morning coffee and water…this has been a nice start to our day while we were here!

The breakfast at The Blue is exceptional. Items for everyone. From delicious French pastries, to authentic Turkish cuisine to perfect Asian food. The chefs are also happy to make pancakes/eggs etc fresh for you.
Fouad and Yara were brilliant. Fouad was so attentive, especially with our two young children. Yara was so kind and friendly and always more than willing to help with anything.
Would highly recommend.

The food was amazing and very authentic. Omar and Mahmoud (and the other wait staff) were very attentive and introduced us to amazing Egyptian cuisine in addition to traditional breakfast items. Omar even cut our Egyptian pastries for us. It was too notch every time!
