Villa's voor gezinnen in Petra

This relaxed and friendly but highly professional restaurant with its spacious outdoor tree-shaded dining in one of the intimate plazas in Petra was a real surprise. Their claim to fair pricing for high quality food and wine is exactly correct. The menu was confidently different from mainstream, with great variety for differing tastes and the specials were described by Joan (male) with such suspense and delicacy as to be irresistible. The house wines are made locally and of high quality but if you like an expensive wine there’s a choice too. A wonderfully relaxed evening crowned off with a few operatic performances from the very same Joan, vodka to pour on your sorbet, a flambéed tiramisu or a glass of schnapps. A gem.
