Café Cairo

For a few years, this Egyptian/Lebanese restaurant was known for the quality of its food and the exotic charm of its Middle Eastern aesthetics. But as business fell away and standards declined, it's now best recommended as a late-night bar where night owls from throughout Bermuda descend for after-hour drinks, dialogues, a flirtation or two, and perhaps a plate of food. Its decor includes elaborately carved doors and window screens imported from the souks of Egypt, copper tables and artifacts hauled in from Cairo, and the kind of diffused lighting that seems to well up from behind the chairs, tables, and chests. Lunch and dinner are served daily from noon to 4pm and from 6pm to midnight, with main courses priced from $23 to around $75, but frankly, we prefer the place as a bar. Within the shadowy world favored by late-night denizens of Bermuda, Café Cairo's main competition derives from the nearby and also-recommended Square One. Bar remains open until 3am.
