Zoé at the First Nile Boat is Now Serving Authentic Egyptian Feasts
Onboard the First Nile Boat, Zoé's new Egyptian menu goes beyond nostalgia and into full culinary storytelling, with everything from hawawshi to hamam mahshi. Jun 19, 2025 Zoé, the sleek, contemporary restaurant housed on the First Nile Boat by the Four Seasons Hotel Cairo at The First Residence, has turned its gaze inward and it's now serving up Egypt. Its brand-new Egyptian menu isn't just a nostalgic nod. In a world where dining in Cairo often skips over the local in favour of the imported, Zoé is doing the opposite, spotlighting dishes that feel like home, but dressing them for the spotlight. The move is bold. At a time when Egyptian cuisine is still underrepresented on global menus and misunderstood on local ones, Zoé is betting on authenticity, but wrapped in the polished, design-forward experience it's known for. There are two menu options. Think hamam mahshi tucked with rice the way your teta swore only she could make it. Lamb fatteh layered with garlic so unapologetically rich, it feels like a memory. Bamia bil lahma, hawawshi with cheese and pickles, vine leaves so delicate you forget they're stuffed with decades of tradition. Even the mulukhiyah is here, defiantly comforting. This is what happens when a restaurant with international standards dares to ask what home tastes like, and answers with heart. For reservations or more information please click on this link:

Yes, sure, love yourself this, be-your-own-Valentine that, we're all for self-love down here at SceneEats, but sometimes we just want to feel loved, you know? And while we won't call ourselves 'high maintenance', we would also love to remind you that being taken out on Valentine's day is pretty much the bare minimum.

Whether popping a certain question or simply treating your significant other to a day of unforgettable lovin' in the hungry oven, the Four Seasons Cairo Hotel at the First Residence is taking the hassle of finding the perfect spot off the menu, and instead, spoiling us for choice for that one perfect romantic meal. Romantic in essence, Xodó, meaning sweetheart - how fitting, eh? - is the ideal spot for a loved-up couple yearning for a Brazilian cookout. Here, the chefs will grill their hearts out with prime cuts, grilled pineapple, and appetite-tickling appetizers that you can lovingly share while gazing out onto the Nile. Craving a pan-Asian fusion of passions? Nairu will take you on a romantic trip through Asia. Longing to relive that authentic 'Soad Hosny' era of love? Zoé is undoubtedly the perfect spot to immerse yourself in a shoreside love story with a Mediterranean-inspired dinner, whether outdoors or indoors (though we do have our preferences), all by the Nile. If you've moved past the sweet talk stage and simply want to try something new with your other half, we highly recommend the two-hour live experience at Le Petit Chef (P.S. we heard the tiny man might be cooking up something special for Valentine's, but we'll leave that for you to discover...).
