PARDIS

Gourmets with a taste for Near and Middle Eastern cuisine should head to Pardis. Although the menu includes Lebanese, Syrian and Turkish dishes, there is a particular emphasis on Persian cuisine: the shirazi salad, which can be eaten with a glass of dough (a carbonated drink made from fermented milk), is a case in point. The wine list is extensive, and the relaxing setting - with its covered terrace, pergola and garden dotted with flamboyant trees - is ideal for enjoying a bottle with friends.
