Advertised as a gourmet restaurant, here are the facts:
You have to walk through a hallway of “celebrities” to reach the restaurant. Very outdated; it’s been a long time since any celebrities have been here.
Upon arrival, you are required to wear a jacket and are then directed to tables numbered like in a fast food restaurant. What a contrast!
The gourmet bread served: brioche.
The tap water is not drinkable, so a bottle of water will cost you €9. What a rip-off!
The service is not that of a gourmet restaurant.
The beef fillet I ordered rare arrived well done.
The presentation of the plates is simplistic.
The pianist adds something, but it feels more like attending a concert than listening to background music.
The restaurant is outdated, the seats are dirty, and the candle holders with electric candles are outdated.
The only thing gourmet about this restaurant is the price, certainly not the service or the food. Don’t waste your money; instead, go to the terrace to enjoy the view and have breakfast at Le 1902 instead. It will be less painful.

One of the most ridiculous and insulting restaurant experiences I’ve ever had.
We confirmed with staff that the restaurant opens at 7 PM and were told to simply come back then. So we waited over an hour nearby. When we returned at 7 as instructed, a female manager suddenly blocked us at the door, claiming that white trousers are “not formal” and therefore unacceptable.
White trousers. Not formal. Seriously?
There was nothing sloppy or inappropriate about it. If you have a strict dress code, communicate it clearly in advance. Don’t invent arbitrary rules at the entrance after guests have already waited for over an hour based on your staff’s instructions.
The manager’s attitude was cold, rigid, and unnecessarily confrontational. No effort to explain politely. No attempt to accommodate. Just a power trip over the color of someone’s pants.
Completely unprofessional. A total waste of time. If this is how they treat potential customers, I strongly recommend going somewhere else. There are plenty of restaurants that actually value their guests.
Avoid.

It is not our habit to leave bad reviews, but after months of planning and looking forward to this experience, the menu we were offered was awful. The inedible seafood was not fresh and the lamb was overcooked and impossible to eat. The staff are nice, but the food is not worth their efforts. One in our party ate the dessert, but overall, we hoped for much better from such a venerable fine dining establishment. Perhaps ordering a la carte would have been better than going for the prix fixe, but one will never know. Travelers tip—stick with The Terasse or one of the restaurants at the hotel where people are dining over the much lauded 1902, which had only one other group of diners in addition to us throughout the evening.
The hotel itself is absolutely amazing and overall we enjoyed our time. One other thing to note—cocktails are $26 each (ouch!).

We had such an amazing time eating here every morning and having dinner at 1902. We stayed at the Sofitel for two nights and thought 1902 was the best food out of the restaurants, although the others are close 2nd!
Ahmed Baghat was so nice at breakfast. He remembered my breakfast order each morning and helped me speed off as we had an early tour.
Then at dinner Essam and Said were outstanding. We had family come with us to enjoy dinner and they were funny and very helpful. Food was on point too!
Can’t wait to come back sometime!

Went for my birthday celebrations – easily one of my favourite nights out in Egypt. The fish? Incredible. The dessert? Wow. And the live pianist? Unreal. Everything felt special.

Have you ever had a night out where everything went perfectly? Tonight was unforgettable at 1902. Stepping back in time my wife and I enjoyed the grand and opulent location in the Old Cataract. Five stars from us. The phenomenal food and friendly service made us feel right at home. The maitre’d even took THE coolest pictures of us at the piano!

Great design and ambiance
But average food at best
very slow and chaotic service
The servers are pleasant but do not have enough professionalism for such a high caliber hotel

The space is spectacular and full of so much history! This was a very lovely meal out, with excellent service! The food was very good, though maybe not so great as the price point demands (we also ate at the 1886 restaurant in Luxor and the food quality here was infinitely better). Definitely a great restaurant for a special night out (or in, if you’re staying in the hotel as we were)!
