All of the restaurants our five year old guide book said were located in the Armenian district of Jolfa seem to have disappeared. So we stopped strangers on the streets of Jolfa and asked them to recommend a restaurant in the area. All of them told us two things: one, the Khan Golstar was the best restaurant in Isfahan; and two, that it was also the most expensive restaurant in Isfahan.
It certainly didn't look like the best and most expensive restaurant in Isfahan. What ever it was you are paying all that money for it wasn't for the decor. Maybe you are paying for the budding novelist who wrote the menu. This was floweriest menu I've ever seen with such descriptions as: The Exceptional Salad Bar, The Barg: Thin, Flat and Tasty, The Extraordinary Steak and our favorite the 50cm Romantic Kebab! The other thing you pay for is the size of the portions - they were huge. One order could have fed the four of us. I had the chicken with fried rice cakes and burberry rice (and butter). While it was delicious sometimes you can have too much of a good thing.
