Lahore Restaurants

Food probably is the first love for Lahoris. Lahore restaurants are found in abundance from one end to another end of the city. There are variety of choices of restaurants in Lahore with diversified cuisine within all kinds of budgets.

Undroone-e Shehr (down town Lahore )  to high-end in Defence – we will cover some of the good restaurants on our site.

Restaurants are attractive and tempting. They attract visitors from all over Pakistan. People living abroad also long to come back to Lahore and explore the new restaurants. These restaurants keep opening every now & then. I think every quarter you see a new restaurant on some street. And it is important for Lahoris that they have to try it once and if they like the food and taste then they will visit again.

The newly built Food street in Undroone-e- Lahore (downtown) is yet another display of this passion for food by Lahoris.

Within Food Street there are many small restaurants that have been redone in a very tasteful manner with open layout outside as well as inside. The earlier ones Cuckoo’s and Andaaz are worth mentioning which are offering great taste & ambiance. Due to repositioning of food street in Lahore, the pricing has increased what it used to be 10 years ago without the ‘food street’ branding.

This is one of the reason that now Food Street is attracting high profile people from far flung areas. Even the foreign dignitaries are brought here to have a taste for Lahore food.

The modern Lahore restaurants are found in areas like Gulberg & Defence. These places have attracted now new foreign – mostly American franchises like Mcdonalds, KFC, Pizza Hut, Dominos, Subway and some others. They have been a big success stories in Pakistan. Although they are already successful worldwide with billions of revenues. Pakistan have also started to cash on that as well.

The weekends can be seen with huge family gatherings in these fast food Lahore restaurants and long lines waiting for their turn to get their food. It has also started a new hip-hop modern culture in Lahore, where teens just love to be there all the time.

People generally in Lahore are always looking for good recommendations for Lahore restaurants. Impartially it is sometime difficult since one can only pass on his or her own experience, and sometimes the other may have different preferences & tastes. But largely these recommendations & word of mouth still work for people to try that new place in the town. Later they can analyze whether that caters to their taste or not. So, Lahoris do generally rely on such recommendations for good Lahore restaurants.

We keep on adding reviews on Lahore restaurants on our site.

However, for just plain list about Lahore restaurants, please Click Here to see the selected ones...

The new CTC in Defence Lahore opened in Sept, 2012.... It was most awaited by all those who are great fans of CTC Gulberg, Lahore. The location indeed is good, rather carefully chosen, slightly away from the crowded streets. It is on the farthest most lane in Y Block facing the residential houses, parallel to Chen One lane.

Fort View restaurant is a mix of traditional & modern. You find the elevator and you find the 6 levels staircase too. Fort View restaurant basically is also a mini hotel with few rooms for the tourists.

Lahore Broast is very much local & Lahori. Although, desi food is where the real heart of Lahore is, but interestingly and surprisingly, few things made good name in the western type fast food in Lahore too...

Andaz hotel Lahore basically is primarily a restaurant located just before we enter the main Food Street gate. So it is falling little bit out of food street officially but very much part of that area.

Chocolate Bar just recently opened in Defence Lahore on Saturday 9th Feb 2013. It is located in Z Block, Phase III near Body Shop. The launch was an impressive function with city high profile gentry as well as celebrities.

La Atrium Lahore is relatively a new entrant in the high end restaurants in Lahore. It is adjacent to Chen One in Gulberg Lahore (near Hafeez Centre & Pace Mall).

The restaurant size is quite large and impressive. It gives more a five star hotel lounge & lobby with the centered rectangle counter just like rooms check in & out for customer services. The décor is not bad. There is nice lighting with aesthetically pleasing chandeliers. The seats are comfortable. The menu card is elegant.

Fatburger Lahore is a recent addition for Lahore food lovers, who crave variety in everything foody.

Fatburger is a multinational north American chain originally started by Lovie Yancey in Los Angeles with her partner Charles Simpson who opened a Mr. Fatburger Stand in 1952.

BIL Foods brought the Fatburger,  chain of gourmet burgers in Lahore, Pakistan. The first store was opened in Karachi in Dolmen Mall.

Yum restaurant is a Chinese restaurant emerging chain which started off first in Gulberg and now in DHA Lahore.

Yum offers finest dining class of its own. It is an ‘A’ rated elite Chinese restaurant with delectable taste and good variety of cuisine.

The décor is cozy & cordial. The service is superb.

Gourmet restaurant Lahore is just one of the many ventures under the ‘Gourmet’ brand which has become a big brand in Lahore and certainly is a prestigious addition to Lahore restaurants.

Gourmet initially started off with its own small bakery in Ichra Bazzar in 1987. Gourmet’s owner Chaudary Nawaz Chhatta initially worked for Shezan Bakers for eleven years. Then he developed his own vision to open a new chain of bakeries with fine product quality. Gourmet with its vision expanded very fast in the last 10 years time period.

Now there are hundreds of gourmet bakeries all over Lahore, almost in every part.

Johny Rockets in Lahore has finally arrived. This is another American high end fast food franchise brand, which just recently opened in last days of January in Defence . Z block, Phase III. Lahore.

Lahoris are always fond of food and they are always willing to try new things. But this time, there is some change of taste challenge. Johny Rockets is bringing in its own branded taste which I guess may become a challenge for Lahoris to adapt to. Mostly there are beef burgers with different munched beef  recipes.

 Secondly, Johny Rocket is on the high end in terms of price. The standard basic burger starts from Rs.750/- and goes up to Rs: 1100/ plus you have to buy the side orders separately - the fries and chips. Your normal bill for two would easily range from Rs. 2000/- plus.
