Saigon Restaurant offers a truly beautiful atmosphere with a breathtaking view of the Nile. From the moment you arrive, the setting feels elegant and relaxing. The food was excellent, full of flavor and beautifully presented, and the dessert was absolutely delicious, a perfect ending to the meal. If you are visiting Cairo, this is a place you should definitely experience before you leave. Highly recommended for both the view and the cuisine.

The place is amazing, high quality ingredients are used and the chef knows how to use them well! Tried the prawns gyoza and it was spectacular. The Philadelphia roll is exceptional as the salmon was very fresh. Also the Norwegian salmon plate was well-marinated and I liked it a lot. Ordered salmon, tuna and octopus sashimi; the tuna was very good but the others were average. Glass noodles tasted good but was a bit sticky. Didn’t like the dynamite roll that much, but generally fried sushi is not my cup of tea. The highlight of the table was the avocado dessert! I’m speechless about that plate! The mix of ingredients, freshness, tastiness is unbelievable! A mustttttt..
I wish I could have tried the Peking duck but it wasn’t available, would have preferred to be informed about this upon booking, as by default all items on the menu should be available, especially a signature one.
However, the service is exceptional, they care a lot and are observative about your needs before asking, thanks Maged!
Book before you go, and if you want a table on the view mention it, but they moved us once it became available.
Price was 5.7k for two persons, you can easily spend less/more depending on the plates you are choosing.

Great atmosphere and service that serve as a proper background for the tasty high quality food. The sushi is the freshest you’ll probably have in Cairo and their Thai green curry is well spiced and balanced. Special thank to Mae on making this a lovely experience through her service.

Over all experience was excellent, we had the Beijing ducks and pad Thai for main course and they were both so good May be the only enhancement I would suggest if the hotel would offer to roll the ducks in the pancakes for you and would offer grounded peanuts.
Nigiri and sushi specialty were top notch too!
Coconut mango cake for dessert exceeded our expectations and was better than the avocado ice cream.

Dining at Saigon was one of the true highlights of our stay at the Fairmont Nile City. From the very first moment, the atmosphere struck a perfect balance between elegance and comfort. A place where every detail, from lighting to music, creates a sense of calm sophistication.
A heartfelt thank you to Mrs. Melve, who once again set the standard for what exceptional service truly means. Her warmth, attentiveness, and effortless grace turned dinner into an experience that felt both personal and refined. The way she anticipates guests’ needs with quiet precision is something rarely found, even in the finest restaurants around the world.
The food itself was outstanding. Each dish beautifully presented and full of vibrant, balanced flavors. From the first bite to the last, it was clear that the kitchen team takes immense pride in their craft. Our compliments to the chefs for creating such an extraordinary culinary experience.
And then, the dessert – simply perfect. A sweet finale that captured the same harmony of flavor and artistry that defines the entire restaurant.
Saigon is not just a place to dine; it’s a place to linger, to enjoy, and to be reminded how genuine hospitality and great food can turn an evening into a memory.
Our sincere thanks to Mrs. Melve and the entire Saigon team for a truly wonderful evening. We can’t wait to return.

This is a restaurant my family and I eat at often as it offers the best sushi, Asian dishes, and amazing steak. Our favorite waiter is Ray who always has a smile on his face and takes great care of us! You will never be disappointed with chef Ahmed who we often let choose our dinner. If you’re looking for a very classic, upscale YET INVITING place to enjoy dinner I highly recommend it.

The food there was exceptional. The sushi and sashimi were amazing, one of the best places I ever tried sushi at. I tried the peking duck which was also very good. The truffle edamame was also great but I did not taste the truffle enough. The view was spectacular, I recommend asking for a smoking table to get the best views even if you don’t smoke.
