If you do not stay at the 450-year-old Beit Wakil Hotel, you should definitely have lunch or dinner at its restaurant. In addition to being a fabulous hotel, the Beit Wakil is also a great restaurant. The courtyard of the restaurant is very romantic, with a fountain and lemon trees in the center. Prices are not listed on the menu, but the bill will not be too heavy on the western wallet.
Al Zeitouna is a lovely restaurant in an old house in the Christian quarter with a beautiful central courtyard. A perfect setting for a balmy evening. The food here is the typical range of Syrian cuisine with a wide range of mezze (the muhammera is particularly good) and the usual grills. Alcohol is served with some very good Lebanese wines being available.
A friendly restaurant in a street north of the Palmyra museum (well sign-posted) with homemade food of the day. The restaurant has a nice courtyard, the food is tasty, and the the prices are modest. The best value for money I got in Palmyra. Emil Butragueno, former striker of the Spanish national soccer team, once dined here with his family (he left an autographed shirt and a family photo)!A word on Palmyran restaurants in general: with the exception of Casa Mia and Hotel Ishtar, good restaurants were rather hard to find (didn`t try the food in Hotel Zenobia though). For the most part, I encountered buffet-style venues with rather substandard food, and quite often overpriced.
This restaurant in an old villa in the center of Jdedayde quarter serves both Syrian and Italian food. I can`t vouch for the Italian food, but the Syrian food was mouthwatering. I especially recommend the meatballs in cherry sauce ! It is slightly more expensive than average but absolutely worth the price !
According to my hosts the best restaurant in Aleppo, and there is some truth in this claim. The restaurant is in the courtyard of an historic villa in the Jdedayde quarter (Al Arbaaeen Street). Impeccable service, gorgeous food, and still reasonable prices (though more expensive than average). If a band is playing, there is a surcharge of 10%.
Probably the most expensive restaurant in Damascus, but absolutely worth the price. Located near the roman triumphal arch in the middle of "straight street" (southern oldtown), this restaurant has great rooftop tables and even better food. The price for a meal can be up to 1200 - 1500 Syrian Pounds, but it is worth it.
In my opinion the best restaurant in Damascus, hands down: great location in an old city palace along the western stretch of the "via recta" in the southern Oldtown of Damascus, good service, mouthwatering dishes and unbeatable prices - a meal with starters and drinks might cost you around 500-600 Syrian Pounds. From the photos in the lobby I recognized that former U.S. presidential candidate John Kerry once visited the place.
This restaurant on the Damascus -Latakia Road is a popular stop for drivers. On one site are counters and ovens where bread, pizza and samosas are made. It was interesting to see the young chefs making and twirling the dough and using wooden paddles to put and remove the bread or pizza into the ovens. We ordered a number of appetizers and then grilled lamb, chicken and kofta. Meat dishes cost from 100-200 Syrian lira. Mezze dishes from 50-100 Syr. lira.
A nice open-air restaurant with a good range of dishes located at the river Orontes opposite four waterwheels (nourias), hence the name. Very popular with the locals. The only downside is that it is someway off the beaten path 20 minutes walking distance to the east from the Oldtown, so you should use a taxi to get there.
Amazinkly wanderfull extraortinaryy -berfect restaurant!!!!Love the food- wanderfoul for food lovers - berfect services.All dishes are absoloutely special. Very good prices - not expencive. - Koupes--rice--stake with white sause--salad with smooth white cheese and dressing-
