Masso

Top choice in Manama


The kitchen here wins plaudits for its cooking, born in the Mediterranean and making creative use of fresh local ingredients. Standout dishes include Earl Grey–soaked chicken and harissa-marinated lamb chops. It's popular with expats, who thoroughly appreciate the wine specialist on hand to recommend the best red or white for each meal.
