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.

Jabal Weibdeh

Stroll in the streets of Jabal Weibdeh to enjoy the atmosphere of this once sleepy neighborhood of Amman.

Al Kit Kat Middle Eastern Restaurant, Downtown Amman

Rating: 4 out of 5 You know the saying that says, “Never judge a book by its cover,” right? Well, that is exactly the case with al Kit Kat. The place could easily be missed, as the curb appeal and the signage indicate nothing of the wonderful food that could be had in this quaint…

As a bonus, you get to try out their produce in a meal on the premises. You can purchase the…
