Restaurants in Amman

Like most Arab countries, Lebanese cuisine features heavily in traditional Jordanian venues. Most restaurants double as nightclubs and shisha haunts.

The restaurants below have been grouped into three pricing categories:
Expensive (over 12JD)
Moderate (5JD to 12JD)
Cheap (up to 5JD)
These prices are for a three-course meal for one, including all taxes, service and half a bottle of house wine or equivalent where available.

Al Mukhtar

Price: Expensive

Enjoy Lebanese mezzas in traditional Andalusian surroundings at Al Mukhtar, located in Le Méridien Hotel. This authentic Lebanese restaurant, formerly known as Abdel Wahab Restaurant, employs Lebanese staff to ensure a truly authentic experience. Reservations are essential.

Address: Le Méridien Hotel, Shmeisani, Jordan

Telephone: (06) 569 6511

Al Quds

Price: Moderate

This is a traditional Arabic restaurant and the menus are all in Arabic so ordering can be a bit of an adventure. But the food is first class and reasonably priced. The mansaff - a traditional, yoghurt-based Jordanian dish - is particularly good.

Address: King Hussein Street, Amman, Jordan

Telephone: (06) 463 0168

Hashem

Price: Cheap

A long established cheap and cheerful diner with a very limited menu of tasty dishes, including felafel, hummus and fuul (fava bean paste). It is a very colourful establishment and although a definite contender for the title 'the cheapest place to eat in Amman', it counts the Royal Family amongst its patrons.

Address: Opposite the Cliff hotel on Alamir Mohamed Street, Amman, Jordan

Telephone: (06) 463 6440

Fakhr El-Din

Price: Expensive

Housed in a charming, old renovated house in a swanky section of Amman, this is one of the finest restaurants in the capital and popular with diplomats and business people. The food is Lebanese and as good as it gets in Amman: a great variety of mezzas , meat and chicken grills, as well as fish, imported freshly from the Arabian Gulf, and delicious Lebanese desserts. It's pricey but well worth the money. Reservations are essential.

Address: Second Circle, Amman, Jordan

Telephone: (06) 465 2399

Although expensive for Amman, the superb Lebanese food, extensive menu and first-class service mean great value for money. Booking is advisable.

Address: Shatt Al-Arab Street, Amman, Jordan

Telephone: (06) 551 5987
