Villa Clara, International Restaurant, Jabal Amman

3.7 out of 5 If you ask anyone in Jordan, what is the best thing about Amman? The first response would be the incredible summer weather. We are lucky to be able to sit outside and enjoy the lovely weather for a good six months out of the year. Well, Villa Clara has taken advantage…

Spago Restaurant, Swefieh, Amman

2.7 out of 5 Spago exudes an atmosphere of laid-back elegance and sophistication, with dark colors and low lighting. The place is spacious and the high ceilings add to the sophisticated look.
