Petra Restaurants

Dining in the town closest to the antiquities site of Petra—Wadi Musa—ranges from simple, inexpensive fare to the elegant and pricey, with little in between. Both dining experiences, however, have one thing in common: courteous service and a welcoming spirit. Don't be put off by the plainness of center-village eateries. The locals enjoying their meal at the next table will remind you that the best fare is often to be had at such unostentatious restaurants.

    This simple but bright eatery is a reliable place for a quick, inexpensive lunch. You can expect a substantial meal, including hummus, shawarma, and a tasty mixed grill (the house specialty). Look for the red sign on the left as you walk uphill.

    If you're in town for more than the day and are looking for a different kind of experience, Petra Kitchen is an enticing choice. You meet other visitors as you chop, slice, and cook your meal, learning how to make and present Jordanian specialties like maqluba, a layered meat-and-vegetable dish, and fattoush, a moistened bread salad. Then you sample what you've made. Dinners usually begin around 6:30 pm and run for three hours. Market tours can be arranged with advance notice.

    The only eatery inside the archaeological site, this restaurant at the end of the Colonnaded Street serves a buffet lunch with a variety of offerings. Run by the Crowne Plaza hotel chain, the bright dining room caters to large tour groups and is ready for a crowd. The air-conditioning and restroom facilities are a welcome break after a dusty day of hiking.
