By day, Machaneh Yehudah, the Jewish shuk in Jerusalem, is a crazy and crowded warren of alleys packed with all manner of stores. Chances are, just about anything you want, you can buy in the shuk. One caveat, however, stay away on a Friday morning when the shuk gives new meaning to the phrase “like Continue Reading »
Imagine a fast food store where everything on the menu costs five shekels. Really. Emes! Just that sort of place is now open in Jerusalem at the Central Bus Station, downstairs on the street.

Located on the first floor of the Mamila Mall, this Rabbanut Mehadrin restaurant is a true gem. The food is excellent, the service good, and the atmosphere fun. Three of us went.

We suspect that the only Ikea store in the world with a mezuzah on every door way is the Ikea in Tel Aviv.

Located on Emek Refaim (restaurant row), Baba bills itself as an authentic Israeli restaurant. We are not sure just what that means. Does a multitude of hummus dishes make it authentically Israeli? We found the food to be not very good. The felafel balls were pretty much the worst we have ever had anywhere in Continue Reading »
Three of us went to Greg’s for breakfast. The food was amazing. The bread tray was filled with the most delicious, crispy loaf of bread as well as slices of whole wheat bread. The coffee was excellent and the barista was clearly a talented artist! One of us had the HUGE breakfast salad. It looked Continue Reading »
This was our last time to eat in Angelica in its present location. They are moving soon to a new and much larger location. Frankly, we love eating at Angelica. It is a very upscale dining experience at a very reasonable price. Three of us had appetizers, dinners, four cups of wine and two desserts. Continue Reading »
There is one branch of this restaurant that is actually in Rechavia. We ordered food to be delivered. It came fairly quickly and quite hot. Located at 31 Aza, the restaurant has Rabbanut supervision. Frankly, the food is delish! We ordered the following: TORI KATSU Panko coated chicken breasts on rice with Japanese coconut curry Continue Reading »
