A Ravishing Ramadan

When it comes to Ramadan, our focus as a nation shifts and first and foremost, we care about food. We eat for Iftar, we eat for Sohour, and we spend the hours between them killing time by eating. And the times when we aren’t eating, we're thinking about food. And when it comes to daytime food fantasies, nothing gets our taste buds salivating like thinking about a meal at the incomparable Four Seasons at Nile Plaza. And this year, the swanky hotel has you covered for the Holy Month, with a variety of delectable buffet spreads.

Zitouni will be serving up one seriously lavish Iftar buffet, with all the signature local and traditional dishes that we crave madly during Ramadan, as well as some international cuisines. The restaurant will be decked out with live cooking stations, so you literally get it while it's hot, and the delicious aroma of their freshly baked bread will likely leave you counting the very seconds until you can devour it. With the amount of options on hand, we're not entirely sure how you'll be able to choose amongst them – but it's okay because we firmly believe that Ramadan is a time for putting on a few well-deserved pounds. The restaurant will be open from 6 PM to 9:30 PM and the whole buffet is for EGP 330++ per person

Home to some of the best Italian cuisine in the city, Bella will be switching things up a little this Ramadan, with an Oriental Iftar buffet from 6 PM to 9:30 PM. If their incredible Italian dishes are any measure, their Oriental take on food will be equally amazing and we personally can't wait to try it out. If, however, you have an unparalleled love for pizza like we do, or you're dead set on Italian, Bella will be switching back into Italian mode between the hours of 10 PM until midnight, where it will resume offering its signature specialties.

If you're feeling a little outdoorsy – and by outdoorsy we mean lounging by the banks of the Nile while you eat and smoke shisha – the hotel's Pool Grill will be open all day long for your culinary pleasure! If you feel like breaking your fast poolside, they'll be preparing an incredible buffet for you to feast upon at dusk. The Iftar buffet will be served between 6 PM and 8 PM, after which dinner a la carte will be available until 11 pm. If you're in the mood for some nocturnal munchies, they'll also be hosting a sensational Sohour by the pool, where you can fulfill your late night cravings for food and shisha as some oriental tunes play in the background. The pool will also be open during the day, with breakfast from 8 AM until 11:30 AM and lunch à la carte until 5 PM. So essentially, whatever time of day you want to enjoy a relaxing outdoor meal, just pop by and you're sure to catch one of the many. The Iftar set menu is for EGP 300++ and the Sohour buffet is for EGP 270 ++.

And lastly, but certainly not least, their Lobby Lounge will be open for business so you can satisfy that sweet tooth of yours. Their signature buffet-style Continental breakfast will be open until 11:30 AM, after which their à la carte menu until 1 PM. Starting from 8 PM until 1 AM they'll be sweeping you off your feet with a spectacular Oriental dessert buffet for just EGP 105++.

With the amount killer cuisines and brilliant buffets the Four Seasons is preparing, this Ramadan is set to be a seriously tasty one!
