Lahore

Cooco's is a gem of a cafe set within arm's reach from the Fort and Lahore's fabulous Badshahi Mosque (visible clearly from the terrace). The cafe is best known for its scrumptious chicken tawa, cooked with tomatoes and an aromatic spice mix, served with fresh naan bread.

Do not be deterred by the cafe's location on shopping mall premises: fame of The Pantry's fabulous salads has travelled all across town, bringing in a steady flow of return customers. While you're there, do not skip on the delectable cheesecake and/or other desserts in the glass display.

This well-located, retro-style cafe is a popular city meeting point, and one that offers an abundant selection of local and international dishes. The menu features classic burgers and fries, Afghani specialities, seafood, pasta, and steaks served sizzling in the skillet.

One of the pioneers of its time, Coffee, Tea & Company remains an excellent spot for breakfast and high tea in Lahore. The menu features dishes of Continental and international cuisine (including some loose interpretations of Mexican), along with atypical desserts such as deep-fried chocolate bars.
