Syrian restaurants in Lattakia

  1. Old House

    This is one of Syria's most atmospheric restaurants. The interior of Old House has been decorated to look like the courtyard of an old house, with Mamluk-style banding on the walls, intricately patterned tiled floors, and traditional textiles for curtains. Devoted locals of all ages, but particularly Lattakia's old-timers, come for the rich Syrian specialities - the fried kibbeh and the sojouk (spicy Armenian sausages) are some of the best we've ever had.

    Service is welcoming and accommodating, and alcohol is served.

  2. Mandaloun

    Dress up for this elegant restaurant with stone walls and vaulted ceilings, where you'll be dining with Lattakia's affluent cigar-smoking power set. The French and Oriental cuisine is superb - try the tasty pink lentil soup or hearty traditional French onion soup, and the melt-in-your-mouth filet mignon. We can even recommend the fish - and we don't say that often in Syria. There are excellent Lebanese wines on the menu and superlative service.

  3. Allegro

    Lattakia's hippest restaurant is in a sleek contemporary space, with lots of chocolate wood and concealed lighting, that wouldn't be out of place in Beirut. It's a great spot for lunch, when it buzzes with noisy groups of locals enjoying the delicious food - a mix of Asian, Mexican, Italian and French that's served up on big white plates. The speciality is the chateaubriand. Alcohol is served.

  4. Cesar

    In the narrow alley running along the south side of Al-Ajan Mosque, connecting with Sharia 8 Azar, Cesar does good mezze and grilled meats, along with a few Continental dishes such as escalopes and pastas.
