WILLOW RESTAURANT & BAR

Just behind Zahran Street, this trendy restaurant is housed in a plush, modern 4th Circle house. The room, with its bar, high tables, smoky parquet and black-painted steel beams, looks like something straight out of a contemporary design magazine. The menu invites friends to share Italian-inspired portions. While the starters are quite good, the main courses suffer from a lack of originality and flavors that lack edge. In summer, the courtyard-garden is very pleasant. Happy hour until 7pm.
