In this high humidity and heat, eating warm meals and drinking hot beverages can be a tough challenge. That's why getting smaller bites, meals that don't require reheating, and ice-cold beverages can be the answer to staying cool in these rough weather conditions. So, here is a guide on what to eat and drink and where to get it during these hot summer days.
Club Sandwiches from Oldish

This weather calls for easy and nourishing bites. Club sandwiches are an excellent option for always combining several tasty and fueling ingredients that don't require much effort or need to be excessively heated. It's a refreshing meal that applies to any part of the day. For a few spots serving fresh taste and lovely portions, we recommend visiting Oldish Downtown for an amazing club sandwich and their fresh beverages, alongside its summery vibes and cool ambience. Other great spots for club sandwiches include La Poire Cafe, À l'Américaine, and L'Aroma Gourmet Coffee.
Sandwich Subs from Luigi

Subs are also another fantastic food option for this hot weather. They're pretty similar to club sandwiches in theory, but of course, everyone prefers the two. Luigi is an excellent spot for any kind of submarine sandwich that comes to mind. The place serves generous portions and various options, from beef, chicken, cheese, tuna, and veggies, with fresh taste and nourishing qualities. Luigi is dedicated to serving a whole new experience of gourmet sandwiches through its branch in New Cairo.
