Enjoying Regional Cuisine in Jordan

Last night I had dinner with a couple of friends in one of the hotel’s restaurants. Although I’m in Jordan the restaurant was Lebanese, but it’s still in the same region (more or less).

The food was excellent and most of what we had we simply shared “family style”.

One of the things that really impressed me were the fresh almonds. I’ve always liked almonds, but the ones you get in Europe are usually quite dry. These were much tastier and I assume locally produced.

Here are a few shots to whet your appetite 🙂
