It may be the troublesome child of meat cuts, but we love it nonetheless.

Your Guide to the Best Brisket in Cairo

By definition, briskets are the troublesome child of meat cuts. They’re very specific, emerging from the underside of the cow, which is very tough and filled with fat and collagen, and by extension difficult to cook. From a purely evolutionary perspective, they should’ve gone extinct a long time ago - and yet they’re still around and thriving.

In the balance of risk and reward, briskets are heavy on the latter, cementing themselves as a necessary cutlet in our carnivorous escapades. Besides, thanks to this guide, you don’t even need to go through the trouble of cooking your brisket yourself. You can just indulge in it at any one of these 9 best spots for brisket in Cairo.

Drago’s | Park Avenue Mall, Sheikh Zayed

This place will satisfy brisket fans because of the many options they have. At Drago's, you'll have the option of having that big, fat, juicy meat in burger buns or with rice; which is honestly all one needs from life sometimes. 

XODÓ | First Nile Boat by Four Seasons Hotel Cairo, Zamalek

The only thing better than a slow-cooked brisket is a slow-cooked brisket with a view of the Nile (whilst you’re on the Nile) and XODO’s delicious cocktails. 

J&G Steakhouse | St Regis, Downtown Cairo

At the true height of luxury, the St Regis’s J&G Steakhouse serves you brisket in the hue of reflecting sunsets on a wall of Swarovski crystals. Does it get any better than that?

Big Kyle’s BBQ Smokehouse | Delivery all over Cairo

In a bid to support local business, Big Kyle’s supports and uses only handpicked home-reared beef that is supplied by the few ethical butchers here in Egypt - and you can get it to cook at home or readily (expertly) smoked.

Roy’s Smokehouse | Cairo Marriott Hotel, Zamalek

At Roy’s, one thing is for sure. You’re getting your brisket expertly smoked and seasoned for the ultimate carnivore experience. 

Longhorn Texas BBQ | Arkan Plaza, Sheikh Zayed & O1 Mall, New Cairo

Longhorn prides itself on its wide variety of expertly cut meats that are without fail delicious. But, in our humble experience, their brisket just happens to be at the forefront of that. 

Brisk | District 5, New Cairo & Almaza Bay, North Coast

As you can probably tell from the name, Brisk Brisk Brisk is dedicated to, primarily, briskets. And they do what they do well - it’s worth the drive out to District 5. 

Meat Moot | Branches all over Cairo

If you’re feeling particularly raunchy, Meat Moot is the place to be. They have all kinds of, well, meats, and their brisket is absolutely delectable. 

Red Goat | Branches all over Cairo

Don’t be misled by the name, Red Goat doesn’t actually put goat meat in your brisket. It’s the regular kind - if by regular you mean absolutely scrumptious.
