Panorama Restaurant

Dead Sea Highway


The Panorama Restaurant more than lives up to its name and is a popular venue for weekend lunch and dinner. Try the ground walnut paste or the shanklish (local cheese, rolled in thyme and mixed with tomatoes, onion and parsley), and follow with marinated lamb chops or sawda dajaj (chicken livers with grenadine syrup and lemon), which are a meal in themselves.
