Sissi House Restaurant, 2010

Located in one of the small narrow streets just off Jdeideh Square, Sissi House was a restaurant I frequently visited during my visits to Aleppo. The building itself was a beautifully restored 17th century merchant's house with a large central courtyard. During the day, you could see the large selection of antiques on display along the walls. In the evenings, the restaurant hosted live music and became a vibrant place to hang out. This photo was taken in 2010, and reports say the building burned down in 2012.
