Zoe — Restaurant in Giza

I have mixed feelings about this place. First Nile boat is majestic as you can expect from four seasons, ambience is cosy and finishings are elegant and expensive. Zoe restaurant is located on the upper deck, you can choose inside or outside seating. Staff is knowledgeable and efficient. View is great. But food was of a disappointment. Fish and chips got a new interpretation, baked moussaka and Greek salad were ok but I don’t like dried herbs in salad. Soup was nice but seasonal micro greens were missing. If you go for surf and turf be prepared the tenderloin will be well done ( such a waste of a precious cut of beef ) but salmon was good. Seafood linguine ( looked more like fettuccine) was overcooked, such a shame for a restaurant of this class! Loot fish looked good but I didn’t try it. Drinks list has lots of options. There was a dj to entertain us though it was an ordinary dinner. Prices are on the expensive side. All in all, nice place on the river Nile, just ask questions and explain what you...

Our First Dinner In Egypt.

We have been touring the UAE for the past week and a half. Cairo is definitely different than Dubai. We were staying at the Four Seasons which is 1/2 block away from this impressive restaurant. The hotel recommended that we take a car to cross the street.

This is a floating barge permanently tied to the pier. They call it First Nile Boat. Apparently there are a few different restaurant options from which to choose from.

Zoe is Mediterranean food. The view was spectacular and the decor is like you were dinning in Mykonos.

We shared the Chicken Kebabs..juicy and cooked to perfection. We also had a Chiopinno Italiano Soup..delicious! In spite of all the warnings not to consume ice in Egypt my first drink was a Piña Colada with crushed ice…simply Devine.(72 hours later and have not gotten sick)

The only thing we did not like everyone got a steamed towel to clean their hands except my wife and I.

My favorite thing about Zoe is the pricing ….2/3 cheaper than eating...

An Unforgettable Culinary Journey on the Nile aboard the First Boat Nile cruise by the Four Seasons Hotel -truly exceptional. The restaurant showcases the finest authentic Mediterranean cuisine, with the highlight being the traditional Egyptian stuffed pigeons—perfectly seasoned and prepared with incredible care.

The wide selection of fresh, high-quality salads complemented the meal beautifully. The ambiance on the River Nile added a magical layer to the entire experience.

Special thanks to the welcoming and professional team who made every moment feel special. A must-visit for anyone seeking elegance, authenticity, and unforgettable flavors on the bank of the...
