Restaurants Jerusalem

If you’re craving Indian food in Jerusalem, look no further than the three-week-old Ichikanda. We were three people and came hungry, and were served two starters and two main dishes. We left stuffed.

The cafe is almost all outdoors and you feel almost as if you’re sitting in someone’s backyard. In the winter, part of the cafe is under plastic sheeting.

It’s not completely vegan since they do use eggs in the desserts but there is no white flour or cane sugar and the kitchen is parve. The dishes can also be made gluten-free.

Meat Couture aims for the sweet spot that is a step up from the fast food stands around it, but with prices less than a sit-down grill restaurant.

I can see myself happily whiling away an afternoon reading a good book over tea and scones. It will be almost like a mini vacation.

I had been invited to try the new four-course tasting menu, which is offered on Wednesday nights for NIS 200 per person.

'We can't handle the customers because we don't have enough workers'

he veteran establishment is still run by the same family as the original pioneers who started the business more than a century ago.

Rachmo is the oldest restaurant in Jerusalem, and started as a “worker’s restaurant,” offering large portions for hungry workers at lunch.
