A
Cooco's Den & Café
Set in an eclectic family haveli (traditional mansion), with glorious views of the Badshahi Mosque and environs, the vistas and ambience of this restaurant score slightly higher marks than the food (which is still not at all bad).
The owner, artist Iqbal Hussain, primarily paints portraits of the nautch (dancing) girls of Heera Mandi (Lahore's redlight district), the area in which the haveli is located.
The menu features Pakistani cuisine with traditional favourites and some more-unusual offerings include qeema wala naan (flat bread stuffed with spiced minced lamb) and for dessert, alamghiri laula (a seasonal carrot-based sweet).
Dinner is the most atmospheric time to dine…

Bundu Khan
With other branches in Lahore, Bundu Khan cooks up piquant Pakistani cuisine with menu items including a tasty mutton tikka and, for the more adventurous, brain masala. There's also a few non-Pakistani alternatives such as beef burgers and chicken corn soup. During lunchtime this branch mainly deals in takeaway, but in the evening diners can avail of tables and chairs set up outside.

Salt'n'Pepper
Recommended for its tasty Pakistani and Continental cuisine, this restaurant is a welcome retreat from the frenetic streets. A top seller is the boneless chicken handi (chicken dunked in a tomato based gravy). Or perhaps a club sandwich and slice of apple pie will suffice. Salt'n'Pepper has several branches in Lahore. Reservations are recommended on weekends.

Shangrilla Gardens & Barbecue Restaurant
You can opt for standard Pakistani or Continental food here, eaten indoors or out in the garden. The jug of lassi (yogurt and iced-water beverage) is sure to quench the most savage summer thirst.

Pizzerio Uno Chicago Grill
Decked out in an Al Capone theme, this is perhaps Lahore's best place to sink your chompers into a 12oz fillet steak. Its tandoori chicken pizza is also a treat, as is the Chicago cheesecake.

The outdoor dining area on The Mall is a great place to tuck into salt 'n' pepper squid, Arabian sole in lemon-herb sauce or coconut chicken curry. Bookings for dinner are recommended.
