ALIBABA RESTAURANT

World cuisine restaurant €€
4.5/5
4 reviews

This central establishment, with its terrace popular with the local bourgeoisie, offers a very varied menu. The menu includes fresh fish specialties and Middle Eastern dishes that can be accompanied by local beer or wine. Now is the time to try the Jordanian white wine Machareus. It is a good match for grilled fish or fried calamari. And if you're craving a rare beef, the restaurant offers a pepper steak. The wooden and bamboo setting is pleasant and warm and above all not stuffy.

SYRIAN PALACE

World cuisine restaurant
4/5
2 reviews

Another popular canteen located at the back of the Sherif Hussein bin Ali mosque. It has a pleasant terrace set back from the street, for the days when it is not too hot. The room clearly displays the pretensions of this restaurant with its purple velvet chairs and tables on the beach themes. It is frankly kitsch, but the essential is in the plate. You won't be disappointed. The kebabs are juicy and grilled to perfection, the hummus is perfectly creamy and the portions are generous.

AL-TARBOOSH

World cuisine restaurant
4/5
1 review

This very small popular restaurant specializes in "pastries". These are not pastries, but pastry turnovers baked in the oven and filled with meat, cheese, spinach... The pastries cost barely 1 dinar and can also be taken away. You will also find the inevitable mezzes as well as grilled meat or fish. There is an air-conditioned room upstairs as well as a tiny terrace and some tables on the street. The sign is in Arabic, but you will recognize it by its large advertisement for Pepsi sodas.

AL-MOHANDES CAFETERIA

World cuisine restaurant
4/5
1 review

This is a must for lovers of popular and very cheap Jordanian cuisine. The crowd testifies to the quality of the falafels, hummus and meat. You pay at the entrance, hand over your ticket and wait (for a short time) for the arrival of the sandwich or the dish. The name of the sign is in Arabic, but you can ask anyone to point out this large canteen on the corner of a street. And don't worry, there is a menu in English. The room is hidden by the stainless steel kitchen stand installed in the double window.

ROMERO : ROYAL YACHT CLUB RESTAURANT

World cuisine restaurant €€€

The cuisine is delicious and original with Mediterranean, Oriental and even Japanese influences. The terrace is most pleasant in the evening, while during the day, one will undoubtedly prefer the very stylish air-conditioned room. The service is very attentive and the prices are high but justified. If you want to enjoy the place without spending too much money, you can just have a drink at the bar upstairs.

CAPTAIN’S RESTAURANT

World cuisine restaurant €€

The Captain welcomes you to his den, decorated like an elegant fisherman's shack. Coarse-meshed nets hang from the walls and columns, rudders serve as capitals or chandeliers. As a result, you won't be surprised to find that the menu is essentially geared towards seafood. Whole fish are presented in a refrigerated display case in the shape of a small boat. If you're bringing a group, opt for the mixed grill, a selection of grilled or fried fish and shrimp served on a long plank.
