Dessert restaurants in Pakistan

  1. A

    Dumpukht

    Named after the cuisine championed by the nawabs (Muslim princes) of Avadh (Lucknow, India) some 300 years ago, this is one of the PC's five fine restaurants. Try the delicious murgh pukhraaj (chicken cooked in yogurt, saffron, Afghan spices and garnished with edible silver paper) - one of the chef's personal favourites. For a midnight snack later, takeaway cakes, croissants, chocolate donuts and other sugary delights are available at the hotel's Pastry Shop.

  2. Freddy's Café

    Convivial yet with attitude, Freddy's flaunts a 'politically correct menu' that includes Continental dishes 'flavoured to local preferences'. There's everything from Dijon steak to Afghan 'Tora Bora' chicken. The dessert menu is deliciously insane - who could possibly resist the 'Limited Democracy' ice cream and 'Day & Night' chocolate mousse.

    Zanzibar

    Hip and happening, Zanzibar has attentive staff, a chic interior and a swanky circular bar (all that's missing is the alcohol!). The ambitious menu here sports everything from seafood chowder, to hot dogs, to Mexican chicken fajitas. Zanzibar's dessert list even includes an Australian-inspired 'summer pavlova'.

  4. Iceberg

    If you've been shopping like a mad thing for CDs and DVDs and need a frosty pep-up, this ice-cream parlour is a godsend replete with icicles hanging from the ceiling. Its 20 flavours include wild strawberry, praline and chocolate fudge; toppings are an extra Rs20.

    Dolphin

    Quetta has plenty of bakeries but this is our favourite, with its mind-boggling array of crunchy cookies, sticky sweets and gooey cakes. Just browsing is enough to give you toothache, but there are a few savoury sandwiches and pizzas that make good snacking.

    Chaman

    For a cool cone or three you really can't do much better than Chaman, which has carved a name for itself as one of Lahore's most-loved ice-cream parlours. If you have room, try the fruit juices.

    Fiesta

    Although not as legendary as Chaman next door, Fiesta is working hard to win the hearts of ice-cream aficionados with a tantalising melange of sweet-sounding scoops.

    Faluda Shop

    Opposite Fiesta, this is a good place to sample your very first faluda (vermicelli and ice cream).

    Disneyland Sweets

    The place for an invigorating cool cone - the pistachio goes down particularly well.
