Books@cafe - عمان الأردن

Fantastic location with views across Amman and a good place to enjoy the sunset. Their bookshop has a great selection of books including English language and all at reasonable prices. The staff were extremely friendly, so much so I came here both nights of my stay in the city. For some extra special culture there is a gallery space on the ground floor which during my visit had a fantastic photography exhibition from a local artist showing the juxtaposition of humans against the environment which I personally found really interesting subject matter. As a vegetarian I often struggle with food options however the staff were extremely accommodating and recommended dishes suitable for me. I opted for the vegetarian pizza (6 JOD June 2023) which was absolutely delicious and nicer than many I'd eaten in Italy! Highly recommended. Was pleased to discover after a baking hot day of hiking they also serve local Petra beer cool and whilst expensive like everywhere in Jordan, is a great beer and the perfect accompaniment to my meal. There was a genuine mistake on my bill, I queried this and unlike other places that are trying to rip off tourists they were extremely apologetic and corrected the bill without any hassle. This was a welcome change to some other places around Amman tourist areas. I really enjoyed my visit here and should I return to Amman I will definitely come here or to one of their other branches in the city. Thank you to the whole team!!!

Stopped in for a couple of drinks with fellow tourists. Nice little bar with bookshop and art gallery attached. Nice music. Staff really nice and helpful. Music good. Outside area meant minimal smoke. Serving alcohol during Ramadan. Great view of the city. Recommended for people who like something a bit arty and are visiting Jordan.

Such a good spot to look at some art, buy/read a book (or two) and eat/drink. Housed over two floors, with the cafe and bookstore occupying the top floor. Had a drink there and soak up the amazing views from the terrace.

Food was good, had the pasta. It was different from the photo but still tasty. Service was friendly and fast. View from the outside seating is amazing!

The lamb chops with its assortment was excellent for its tenderness and complete meal good to share. The buffaloes wings was spicy and complimented the drink well as expected. The winner was the beer pitcher which was uniquely served with glass with salt tipped alike tequila shots and a bit of lime juice. It was unique and excellent giving a new taste to the beer. Lovely and attentive service made the meal and drink enjoyable. Finished with brownie as desert of the day. Good for two.
