One of the best restaurants in Jordan is Haret Jdoudna, but it’s just slightly outside of Amman in Madaba. You can easily get there quickly by car (or cheap bus), and you can squeeze in a visit to the mosaic map at St. George’s church. The food there is heavenly, and the atmosphere is equally so, as it is set in an old house, with trees and authentic decoration everywhere.
