This was the best meal we had in Jerusalem - and a great experience too. The staff is friendly, the atmosphere is festive, the food is inventive. You must go!

Where to start. This is honestly one of my favorite meals. The menu is inventive yet accessible. The fusion of Mediterranean, European and Middle Eastern flavors is expertly executed. There was not one single dish that didn't soar. To top it all off the service was excellent. They were certainly having fun while working and that was easily translated into... More

Situated in nondescript space a block away from Jerusalem's Machne Yeuda, Chef/owners Asaf Granit, Yossi Elad and Uri Navon have developed a food and wine experience that is among the best I've ever indulged in. The chef's table looking in on the bustling kitchen was a treat. While Chef Uri gathered our food and wine interests, he and the team... More

This was easily one of our best dining experiences ever - and we've been to many great restaurants around the world. Didn't have a reservation but after a short wait we were lucky enough to be seated at the Chef bar where Chef Tomer and the talented kitchen team took care of us. Every dish was expertly composed, perfectly balanced,... More

We had dinner at this wonderful, trendy, loud, exciting restaurant near the Machane Yehuda market. We sat at the bar and had a great experience. The service was lively and the food excellent. We had the house special calamari -- pomegranate honey reduction, tahini and roasted pepper puree, grilled squid --stuffed with blue cheese (!?). It was amazing. We had... More

A group of 6 women went there for lunch yesterday. The service was amazing, we were given a prime table, the manager gave us delicious appetizers, on the house! At first it was a bit loud, but it is part of the experience with the whole restaurant clapping and singing and celebrating. I would go back every day if I... More

We arrived, without reservation made, on the recommendation of a colleague. What an excellent recommendation! We were offered the 7 course taster menu, and sat at the bar where head chef Uri (or Rory as my husband decided to call him), proceeded to entertain and wow us for the next 3 hours. We have no idea how many courses we... More

We had lunch at this restaurant, located in an unlikely place- one street away from the Market. Its small tight quarters belies how pleasant a place this really is. We had two entrees at the counter (the seating can be at one of the small counters or at several tables on the first or second floor). Both were creative and... More

Friday is the best day to visit. Different street performers every week, lots of tourists and locals making for a very colorful scene, lots of different shops for picking up last minute items or speciality items.

Every dish is a work of art and every dish is tasty. Very pleasant atmosphere, clean, friendly. My family sat at the kitchen bar and had a tasting menu. We had the best view of where it all happens. Would definitely recommend to others as the place is very unique.
