The splendid location with the special views make the Terrace at the Cataract a popular spot and it is usually crowded at almost any time of day or evening. I have been a regular guest at the Cataract over the years and I prefer to have drinks in the bar or on the bar's own separate terrace or, alternatively, along the esplanade which also enjoys magnificent views but is less crowded and with more attentive service. On those occasions when I have dined on the Terrace I enjoyed good service, but found the menu rather limited and unvaried over a several days stay. The head bar tender in the bar and on the bar’s own terrace has been at the Cataract for many years and is always anxious to please. Whenever he is on duty, it couldn’t be more delightful to enjoy afternoon drinks on the bar’s terrace or within the bar itself later in the evening. He does his utmost to make you feel welcome and tend to your every need

The Terrace is in The Old Cataract Hotel. It has a wonderful view over the hotel grounds and the Nile. The menu isn't extensive, but the food was delicious. They also do afternoon tea which was excellent.

The terrace is the causal dining area at the Old Cataract Hotel. The food is ok, although too expensive judging if you take into account its price. But it is worth it if you take into account the experience, the gorgeous views and the chance to visit the lovely hotel. This is a must visit

An example: we wanted to order the afternoon tea. Waiter explains that one afternoon tea serves two people. So we ordered one afternoon tea with earl grey but without the sweet pastries but with an extra red fruits tea. We became 9 mini-mini-sandwiches and some fruits. The seems to come directly from the breakfast buffet. No scones, no clotted cream an two pots of earl grey, but no red fruits tea. Is that 5 Star? Yes, it is the "5"-star level of Old Cataract in Aswan.
