Café Aylanto

I really liked this place. My local freinds kept telling me it was too expensive but I took the family as I wanted a good experience. The place is well decorated and would fit into any wealthy city in Europe or America. We went on a Friday eveneing and it was full so we had to wait 30 mins for a table. Food was very good and well cooked. Whilst my freind were correct that is expensive for Pakistanis for us it was a real bargin. If I could eat as well as I did for the price in the US I would be very happy. 5 of us ate appitizers, main course (very good steak), desert and drinks and the bill was about US $50.. The same meal in the US you could expect to pay US $150+. We left happy and full.

This is one of Lahore's finer restaurants with a good ambiance and interior decor. The service is great and the food is pretty good as well. I tried the Filet mignon steak with mushrooms over pasta (not very much pasta, but the steak was excellent and very tender). My wife had the pepper steak, which was a little tough. We also had the Artichoke dip for appetizer which was pretty thick, but still good. They also give you some french bread before your meal, which is great. For dessert had the creme brule, which was pretty good. The total cost of our bill was a little over Rs 3000 ($30 USD), which is high for Pakistan, but it was well worth it! If you want a more quiet dining experience, ask to be seated in the lounge or patio where children under 12 are not allowed.
