When in Alexandria, try to wake up early someday, skip your hotel’s breakfast, and get yourself down to Midan Ramla. There, you’ll find Cafe Trianon. The place has been there for decades, since 1905. In the early 20th century, the world renowned Greek poet Constantin Cavafy spent most of his free time at this very same place, when not working in the offices that were located in the same building one floor above – to learn more about Cavafy, don’t miss out on a visit to Cavafy’s Museum, near Misr Station. 

Throughout the years, the amazing Art-Deco styled immense tea room hosted prominent guests including Egyptian royalty members, foreign presidents and the Arab diva Umm Kulthum.

Cafe Trianon is famed to this day for its delicious continental-style breakfasts. But keep in mind that these mouth-watering platters aren’t served after 11 am. If you miss out on breakfast, you can still come for an equally fulfilling brunch, lunch, dinner or coffee & pastry break.
