Wild Jordan Center

Amman


At the ecofriendly cafe at Wild Jordan Center, the emphasis is on locally sourced produce, healthy wraps, organic salads and locally plucked herbs. It's not the cheapest place, but the food is great, as are the smoothies. The glass walls and open-air terrace offer unparalleled vistas of the Citadel and the downtown area. The weekend brunch is always popular.
