Where to Eat at the Grand Egyptian Museum

Amidst towering statues and millennia-old wonders, the Grand Egyptian Museum quietly dishes out a solid lineup of cafés, gelato counters, and sweet stops. Between galleries, restoration labs, and postcard-perfect courtyards, there’s always a corner serving something tempting — whether you’re chasing caffeine, craving a quick street-food fix, or simply pausing to process another colossal pharaoh.

And because museum days are basically cardio, consider this your edible map. From Parisian patisserie classics and gelato that melts faster than you can say Tutankhamun, to modern Egyptian bites with flair, here’s where to sit, sip, and snack your way through GEM without ever leaving the magic.
