Defence Club Lahore

The Defence Club was built in 1990, and is spread over a large area of 74 canals. Amongst other services it provides, the Club has always been known for the various restaurants it houses.

The Open Air Barbecue perhaps is the most popular restaurant at the club. Housed in the open, diners get to choose between large arrays of different Pakistani dishes. The best part about the restaurant is that it has a see-through kitchen, so diners can actually look at their food being prepared — a nice touch.

Another interesting addition is the Moroccan Restaurant, which offers Moroccan and Mediterranean food. The interior is designed with a unique North African aesthetic, with its arches and geometric patterns; it actually does transport one to Morocco! Add to this: waiters wearing red fez hats and Arabian music in the background, and the ambience are complete. A must visit. (If you can bear the strange perfume in the air)

Caf’e Alizeh is the chic modern restaurant. With its stylish wood floor, chrome interior and cool lighting, it’s the place where the hip wants to eat. The restaurant offers a wide range of continental a la carte meals and also offers Thai and Chinese. The food to try is the fried fish with balsamic vinegar, which was fresh and succulent and cooked well, another one, was the grilled Mexican chicken with rice and the chicken stuffed with cheese and spinach which was delicious.
