OK. I have been meaning to write about this place for quite some time now but couldn't get off my lazy ass to do it. Many people in Lahore including foreigners reckon that this is the best western restaurant in town.
It's located off Main Bouleverd, but you will not be able to see any signage as it's hidden behind brick walls. Mostly it's word of mouth. A lot of very good looking people hang out here. The downstairs is 'casual dining' and serves pizza, pasta,salads,gelato. The pizza I agree is the best in town, and the only place where you can get proper thin crust. The pasta is not bad, good texture, but again,no aglio olio, only creamy or tomato base stuff. Salads are not bad but again, no romaine lettuce for the Ceasar's. The gelato is actually more like normal ice cream, but still good.
Upstairs its the formal dining, with chef's menu changing regularly, which makes it fun and interesting. But IMHO the food at Aylanto is better. The last time I came I got annoyed with the service upstairs as they took forever to bring the ice and water for my whisky and also I had to go get my own glass for my beer. A thirsty man is an angry man. Anyway it's a bottle friendly place.
Overall not too bad a place to hang out, good ambience,food is solid, service OK, good looking people to watch, but a tad pricey.
