The guide’s ranking · Cairo

Best Feteer Meshaltet
in Cairo

Feteer Meshaltet is the Egyptian equivalent of a croissant and is incredibly rich. It is a multi-layered, flaky pastry made from paper-thin dough laminated with butter. The pastry can be eaten plain with honey or stuffed with savory fillings like meat. A large plain feteer is a common meal shared among friends and family. The trap is buying feteer from a generic bakery where it might be dry.
