Floor-to-ceiling windows frame downtown Amman and the Citadel from a hilltop perch in Jabal Amman, which sets the tone for what follows. This is a modern Levantine dining room where the chef, a Top Chef Arabia winner, builds each dish around a memory from his Jordanian upbringing, so the food reads as autobiography rather than menu. It holds a spot on MENA's 50 Best Restaurants list, and the team walks you through the stories while they serve.
