With Cairo Bites just around the corner, set to kick off at the glorious Family Park on the 17th of April, we're already salivating in anticipation. Kind of like a teenager ready to go to a massive music festival, we've had our eyes fixed on the epic line up of food on show, our stomach rumbling with each new announcement. And just like a pretentious hipster teenager we're going to brag about all the cool restaurants setting up shop, just so you know we knew them before anyone else...

Coppermelt
If there's one thing your special someone wants from you more than jewellery, it's cake. But why choose? You can have your cake and eat it too.
Bubblicious
You know how for years you’ve been complaining that Cairo doesn’t have one single place that serves flavoured drinks with squidgy tapioca balls at the bottom? Well, here you go.
Bel Gelato
Gelato, handcrafted Italian ice cream that's not quite ice cream, not quite yoghurt. Our senior writer Eihab says he used to love eating gelato in Canada. The man who served it was called Romeo. We don't know how that is relevant but if Eihab likes it, then you should too!
Kooks & Biggs
Egypt's first ever Nutella bar. Yes, you heard it correctly... a whole bar full of different varieties of Nutella-based desserts! Can you say Nutella sushi?

Taboon
We're not sure what an 'urban' Lebanese restaurant is, but oh ko-baby! It looks tasty!
Formula Onedurful
For starters we're suckers for a punny name, but then you go and hand us a drink straight from a pineapple? Well played. Formula Onederful offers up the freshest fruits and vegetables in Egypt, either whole, chopped, mixed or blended.
Shawerma El Reem
Okay, they've been around for a while and they have more than a million fans on Facebook but we only discovered them recently and frankly we're addicted. Best shawerma and fries in the market.
Bros
Bros before hoes... but these burgers before bros.
Kozbara
