Marzipan

Marzipan, the latest edition to the traditional Egyptian restaurant scene, is here to keep our appetites satisfied and mood brightened, all whilst feeling delightfully nostalgic. Enjoying our country’s beloved cuisine in a high-end vibe always hits different because you can see how simple Levantine recipes can be elevated to compete with international dishes.
Their luxurious yet laid-back interior is undoubtedly unique – with velvet furniture, subtle greenery, modern light fixtures, and classical props like vintage frames and books beautifully stacked all around the venue. At first glance, one wouldn’t suspect that this is a traditional Egyptian restaurant. Still, once you step in and see Faten Hamama, Omar El-Sherif, and Egypt’s most beloved stars framed all over the shelves and walls, one begins to understand the concept. We visited the Park Street branch in the morning one sunny Friday, and we simply had to opt for the authentic breakfast experience that lasts until 1:30 PM. We browsed through their breakfast section filled with many tempting options like tameya, medahrag eggs, feteer, ful, and more.
If you prefer eating light during the mornings, Marzipan’s breakfast plates are perfect for sharing – when you order a few dishes to share with one more person, you’ll get the ideal portion for a light Friday breakfast. They have the Marzipan Tray already made for two people if you’re too lazy to pick out your dishes; however, we decided to mix and match our own.
