Madame Zingara

Description:

• The star-studded, purple façade of this popular entertainment hotspot yields to just as glittery interiors. A roaring fireplace throws glowing rays across the faces of pretty, costumed waitresses and dancers, who are all set to turn the venue into a carnival. If you aren't in a mood to party, sneak away into the private dining quarters, from where you can watch the fun as you feast on Middle Eastern and Mediterranean delights, such as mezze and Grano Zingara—fat, juicy, fried tiger prawns coated with a crunchy batter and served beside a roast vegetable ratatouille. House soups and salads can be embellished with fritters in a beer paste, while the Ostrich Tapenade stands out among the pasta, lamb and chicken options. For dessert with a difference, try the sinful chocolate cigars, after which a leisurely puff of the traditional Moroccan hookah puts you in the mood to relax.
