As the summer season kicks into high gear and we once again flock to Egypt’s North Coast, Sahel’s food scene is giving us even more reasons to be excited. This year, the coastline is welcoming a wave of fresh openings, from entirely new concepts making their debut to beloved Cairo favorites finally setting up shop by the sea.
Whether you’re looking for your next breakfast spot, sunset dinner destination, or late-night hangout, these are the newest and coolest addresses to add to your summer rotation.
KIKI’S Chicha
Hacienda Heneish
KIKI’S Heneish is switching things up this summer. Teaming up with El Gouna favourite Chicha Latin Kitchen, the beachfront spot is launching KIKI’S Chicha, a new concept that blends Chicha’s vibrant Latin-inspired menu with KIKI’S signature coastal vibes.
Opening this July, it’s set to become the go-to address for long lunches, sunset dinners, and lively nights by the sea.

Bringing a touch of luxury to the North Coast, Perle is set to open this July at Cocoon in Sidi Abdelrahman (KM 131).

Korba favourite Solis is finally bringing its beloved coffee-and-pastry combo to Sahel. Opening at Marina 5’s Blue Side Walk, the popular café and bakery is set to become your new go-to for slow summer mornings, serving up fresh bakes, quality coffee, and all the breakfast staples you’ve been missing by the coast.
Froçaí
Caesar Sodic – Ras El Hekma
Your post-beach sweet treat just got an upgrade. Froçaí has landed at Caesar Sodic in Ras El Hekma, serving up fully customisable yogurt and açaí bowls. Pick your base, pile on the fruits, granola, nuts, and sauces, and create the ultimate summer snack exactly how you like it.
Conitta
Seashell – El Alamein
The Maadi-favourite dessert spot, Conitta, has officially opened in Seashell, bringing its playful, cone-obsessed world to the North Coast.
While most dessert spots treat the cone as an afterthought, Conitta made it the main event. Expect soft serve, chocolate-dipped treats, and wildly indulgent loaded cones, all served with the brand’s signature sunny aesthetic. Bright, fun, and impossible to miss, it’s the kind of place that practically screams summer.
Cairo Caizer
Blue Side – Marina 5
Shawarma tastes even better with a lagoon view. Cairo Caizer has officially landed at Blueside in Marina 5, bringing its cult-favourite shawarma boxes to the North Coast. Grab a quick bite, snag a seat by the water, and fuel up between beach sessions with one of the easiest (and tastiest) meals on the coast.
Two Broz
Seashell walk, Playa strip & Seashell beach
Summer just got a lot tastier. Two Broz are taking over Sahel with not one, not two, but three new locations at Seashell Walk, Playa Strip, and Seashell Beach.

Mini Tante
Blue Side – Marina 5
Craving a taste of home between beach days? Mini Tante has officially landed at Marina 5’s Blue Side Mall, bringing its beloved Egyptian street food and signature sandwich boxes to the North Coast. Founded by actor Ashraf Abdel Baky, the spot is perfect for when you’re in the mood for comforting local flavors with a side of sea breeze.
Wingo
Telal, Bianchi & Hacienda Red
Wing lovers, this one’s for you. Wingo has officially touched down in Sahel with three new locations at Telal, Hacienda Red, and Bianchi. Known for its addictive “Lost in the Sauce” concept, the brand is bringing its signature wings, bold flavors, and messy-in-the-best-way bites to the coast all summer long.

With fresh concepts, returning favorites, and plenty of first-time arrivals, this summer’s food scene is shaping up to be one of the coast’s most exciting yet, so come hungry.
