  3. Dumani

    Based at Gilgit's top hotel, Dumani has a wonderful vista and a good-value menu with tasty Pakistani, Chinese and Continental cuisine. If you have been scrimping or trekking, this is the place to have a splurge - particularly at the all-you-can-eat buffet lunch (Rs500). Popular barbecue nights (Mon-Sat) commence after 15 May, with locals and nonguests alike enjoying the first-rate food and garden ambience.

    Also good value is the high tea buffet on Sunday (15:00 to 18:00) with a great range of salads, hot dishes and desserts. Credit cards are accepted.

    Lala's Grill

    Part of Green's Hotel, this is a welcome place to eat if you're craving clean cutlery and tablecloths. The menu sticks to standards along the Pakistani-Chinese-Continental axis, and the waiters agreeably tell you what the chef has just been cooking if you want to eat quickly or what needs to be prepared from scratch (usually the Continental dishes) if you're in no rush.

    Red Onion

    Just the spot to cool your heels, this relaxing retreat has a Continental focus with a splash of Chinese and Pakistani dishes. There's everything from burgers and pizzas to mutton masala and chicken with green olives. Cheese aficionados should not miss the 'Just Say Cheese' pizza.

    Alpha

    Up some narrow stairs, the low ceiling, low lights and wood-panelled walls give this place a hushed ambience that makes it popular with couples. Food is Pakistani and Chinese, with a good selection of vegetarian dishes served in big, inexpensive portions.

    Wang Fu

    A reliable Chinese option with a yummy selection of dishes, from podgy dumplings to squiggly noodles. There's plenty to choose from including sesame prawns, chicken with almonds, garlic fish, shrimp fried rice, spicy honey wings and Sichuan beef.

    Hong Kong Restaurant

    Peshawar's first Chinese restaurant, Hong Kong has been serving up noodles for several decades now. The menu is a blockbuster read in itself, and the dishes come quick and hot. The soups are good, while the plates of chow mein are mountainous.

    Panda Chinese Restaurant

    Comfortably appointed, this is the place to come for familiar wok-tossed favourites such as Szechwan beef. However, like most Chinese restaurants on the subcontinent, the food here is more spice-infused than usual, catering to local tastes.

    Green Dragon

    Jamal Hotel's Chinese-decorated restaurant produces OK Chinese dishes such as hot and sour chicken, sliced beef and ginger, and laghman (noodles in broth), but covers its bases by churning out Pakistani standards such as chicken karai.

    This welcoming Chinese restaurant has lots of commendable Cantonese and Sichuan dishes, with favourites including the belly-warming soups, Mongolian chicken and garlic prawns. The vegetarian selection is limited.

    Xuelian

    Pakistani versions of Chinese food often don't run to much more than sweet and sour and chow mein, but the Serena's more formal restaurant offers a much broader spectrum, in appropriately swanky surroundings.

  14. Mona Lisa Restaurant

    Adjacent to the PTDC in the Cantonment, this bright roadside eatery boasts a huge menu of Pakistani, Chinese and Continental mains plus snacks and barbecue fare. But first ask what is available and fresh.

  16. Tasty Plus Restaurant

    The chefs here do a fairly good job of Pakistani, Chinese and Continental cuisine. The succulent mutton leg steam roast (Rs410 per 1kg serve) is enough for two.
