Pegas is a meat shop. It started off with one location and due to the quality of the meat produced, it started to grow and has become a chain now. Even so, they have only one restaurant and it is a nice place to visit. I was there at lunchtime and they still had the breakfast menu, so I ordered the shakshouka, which is actually an oriental dish. It was very flavourful and soothing. Other than that, their chicken soup is famous and I've heard only good things about it, though I have not had the chance to try it yet.
The restaurant has 2 floors and the second floor is better. The atmosphere was very nice, especially since I was there around Christmas. The waiters are helpful and their menu is worth discovering. I've had a hard time choosing what to get because everything seemed interesting. I would definitely go to that place again. Soon.
