GERARD ICE CREAM

Glacier
5/5
1 review

Gerard Ice Cream is a popular chain in Amman with no less than 6 locations across the city. It concocts good sorbets, with no added fat or dairy products, and ice creams with no added sugar. You can refresh your palate with classic flavours like vanilla, chocolate, strawberry, lemon or more original ones like Nutella, Snickers (caramel and peanut) or speculoos (Lotus). Gérard has a sense of humour, as he recommends that you do not tap on his windows, as this will scare the ice cream away.

Patisserie
4.3/5
4 reviews

This pastry shop is very popular among Jordanians and has several locations in town. It must be said that the shop has existed since 1951. It was founded by Al-Haj Mahmoud Habibah, who came to find refuge from Jerusalem in 1948. The specialty of the house is the knafeh, a pastry made of brick sheets, melted cheese and pistachio chips, sprinkled with sugar syrup. It is very sweet, very good and a must try during a stay in Jordan. You can also buy boxes of pastries to take home.

Its baklava and other treats dripping with molasses or honey are simply delicious. The brightly lit, surgically clean shops are somewhat intimidating, but the staff will be happy to advise you. There too, you'll find pretty iron assortment boxes to slip into your suitcase to extend your trip or to offer as a souvenir. The store is also present at the airport
