Coco's Cafe

Set in the old Lahore's Diamond Market (Heera Mandi), Cocco's Den is an old Haveli converted into a resteraunt. The owner was born in this Haveli, some floors are still used as residential area, the ground-floor and the rooftop has been converted into a seating area. The ambiance is superb - next to Badshahi Masjid and Lahore Fort, serving local dishes.

Food is really delicious; additionally you will get double bonus (a) nice views of ancient Badshahi Mosque and Lahore Fort from the roof of the restaurant (b) if you are fan of art and history, then this place is a mini museum as well. Entrance to the restaurant is not inviting but once you are on the roof, then it's a totally new experience. I found Handi gosht and kebabs very delicious, bit spicy for foriegners. You can smoke sheesha here as well (lots of arabs would love it) , lots of tourists come here to dine, so you will always find good security around here.

One thing that people may not know about this place is that the most of food items served here are not made by the resturant themselves. Instead it is freshly bought from the smaller "Dhaba's" and resturants which we can find if we go deeper into "Taxali" (behind Coco's Cafe)
