🍴 Berro’s is easy to miss… we walked past it twice as we strolled through New Cairo’s The Nox Mall before noticing it was there. The cozy all-day brasserie ’s walls are adorned with art brought to life by local creatives. Naturally, we had our hopes up for the food, and a quick glance at the menu raised expectations even higher.

What’s on the menu? The New Cairene destination serves up breakfast all the way through 2:30pm, but we were lucky enough to try their dinner. The menu is jam packed with a slew of enticing selections — with salads and appetizers including corn ribs, fried feta, wings, meatballs, and truffle mac and cheese. The mains range from stroganoff to lemon shrimp pasta and gnocchi pesto.

What we ordered: Berro’s signature tomato soup and fried feta as our starters, beef stroganoff and chicken parmesan for our mains, and a pair of peach iced teas as our refreshments. Within 20 minutes, everything was laid out on our table. There was not a single miss.

Our thoughts: The tomato soup proved to be the brasserie's widely-praised signature for a reason, paired with a cheese- and onion-topped garlic bread. Rich, creamy, and oozing with flavor, it threatened to fill us up before we got to the main event. The fried feta was — to risk hyperbole — an exploration of flavor. Drenched in sweet chili sauce and coated in white sesame, the appetizer was among the most memorable we’ve had recently.

Our pick: The stroganoff stole the show. Tenderloin bites mixed in with perfectly soft gnocchi and mushrooms, topped with sour cream demi glace sauce, made for one of the best iterations of the dish that Cairo’s food scene has to offer. The chicken parm stood its own, but ultimately paled in comparison to its beef counterpart. We had high expectations for Berro’s, and yet it still delivered… with flying colors.

WHERE TO FIND IT- Berro’s is located at The Nox Mall in New Cairo.
