On the square is Groppi’s. In its prime this was the most famous patisserie this side of the Mediterranean. The gold mosaics around the entrance are the only remaining sparkle and the whole place was closed in 2016 for restoration due to water damage on the ceiling.

Just south of the square on Talaat Harb street is Café Riche, established in 1908. This was the hang-out of Egyptian writers and intellectuals. Nasser allegedly met with his collaborators here to plan the 1952 revolution. Today it’s not as glamorous as it used to be but it’s still a good place to get a beer there are also another landmarks in cairo which you should visit Abdeen Palace which can be easily overlooked and MidanTalaat Hrab which is also in cairo and Coptic Museum which built in 1908
