Brasserie Ayda’s Iconic Friday Brunch Returns at Waldorf Astoria Cairo Heliopolis

Brasserie Ayda is bringing back a beloved Cairo tradition: its much-anticipated Friday Brunch, starting 26 September, every Friday from 1–5 PM at the elegant Waldorf Astoria Cairo.

More than just a meal, brunch at Brasserie Ayda is a weekend ritual — a vibrant gathering where the city slows down, flavors take center stage, and every plate invites you back for more.

Brasserie Ayda Restaurant is one of the 8 restaurants for date nights

Serving a Mediterranean-without-Borders menu, Waldorf Astoria’s Brasserie Ayda evokes a luxurious feel—but in a subtler way in comparison to the previous restaurants, so it’s perfect for a date night that is romantic but not too overboard.
