Restaurant Name: Ala'a Arafat

This is a place where you go to eat sweets.. very Arabic sweets. But i think it is a must. This place is open year round but since the dessert is sooooo heavy, people usually like it in winter... you know, when you need extra padding :)

Favorite Dish: The dessert this place is known for is called Tamriyeh.. it is semolina packed in pastry and deep fried.. then sprinkled with powder sugar.
Very very good. mmmmmmmm........ and u get one for 200 fils. That is really very very cheap.

This place also offers other arabic desserts..all very good quality.

Restaurant Name: Haret Jdoudna

This is a mezza place, meaning that you get freshly baked Arabic bread and you dip your bread into a myriad of different textures and tastes for an extremely satisfying meal.
In the evenings there is usually a live band playing and you can lounge around after dinner smoking your hookah, or as we call it, argeeleh, and drinking tea... oh, or whiskey, cos this place serves alcohol.

Favorite Dish: Anything with eggplant is scrumdiliyumtious :)

Address: Madaba, beside Al Roum church
Directions: Drive as if going to the airport until a road sign that reads Madaba. When there you will find Haret Jdoudna signs, or follow church signs since restaurant is close by. It is hidden between shops and buildings. If you get lost, you can ask around.

Restaurant Name: Books@cafe

this is a normal quick food eatery: Burgers, fries, salads, sandwiches, coffees... you can smoke argeelah here too. But the special thing about Books@cafe is that it has a book store downstairs and it has the coolest terrace to sit in, come spring or summer. A lot of foreigners and artsy people hang out here too so you can meet travellers. They also have a bulletin board with lodging ads and other stuff. And wireless internet access.

Favorite Dish: i don't really eat here, but their food is good. I don't really like burgers and sandwiches. I am more of a salad person myself.
