What is a Butterbort and Why Does New Cairo’s Lustro Serve it?
From hearty beef bacon omelettes to the enigmatic ‘butterbort’, this New Cairo spot is all about filling breakfast.
At Lustro in River Walk, New Cairo, breakfast takes centre stage. This recently opened place has already carved out a niche for itself as a go-to breakfast spot, offering a diverse menu that serves classic breakfast staples with creative twists. The atmosphere complements its varied offerings, featuring outdoor seating that allows diners to enjoy a meal next to the sidewalk, providing a calm, casual space without the hustle typical of New Cairo’s busier locales.
Lustro's breakfast menu is its strongest draw, highlighting an assortment of omelettes catering to a range of tastes. From the hearty beef bacon omelette to the vegetable-filled option, the variety ensures that there’s something for everyone. The English and Turkish breakfasts serve as reliable standbys, but it’s the German breakfast that truly steals the spotlight. Smoked turkey, cheddar cheese, and black forest beef are paired with toast, butter, jam, and honey. The richness of this selection, paired with eggs cooked to preference, adds a satisfying depth to the morning meal.
Another standout is the Special Butterbort, which is a fusion of sandwiches that melds ingredients like salmon, cream cheese, avocado, and scrambled eggs with capers, lemon, and marinated tomatoes. The dish brings together a refreshing combination of textures and flavours that elevate breakfast into something more than a simple start to the day.
While Lustro excels at breakfast, its offerings extend beyond the morning hours. The restaurant’s menu includes an array of main dishes that cater to both light and hearty appetites, with pasta, seafood, and sandwiches among the many options. The attention to detail that defines the breakfast menu carries through here as well, with the dishes retaining a balance between creativity and familiarity.
The beverage menu is equally noteworthy. Alongside a selection of soft drinks, coffees, and smoothies, Lustro introduces a few seasonal surprises like their marshmallow hot chocolate—an indulgent choice that promises comfort during the colder months. This unique offering, along with the more standard beverages, rounds out the experience, ensuring that whatever the meal, diners can find something to suit their preferences.
Breakfast may steal the show at Lustro, but there’s plenty more to savour. Whether stopping by for a quick bite or lingering over a leisurely meal, the charm of Lustro lies in its ability to make each visit feel special. With its thoughtful menu and relaxed atmosphere, it’s the kind of spot that makes you want to return—whether for a comforting breakfast or something a little different later in the day.
