RaisaB Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 I am off to Jerusalem next week. Has anyone been there recently? Any suggestions on restaurants? I have reservations for Machneyuda....any place else I should not miss? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tweaked Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 Click Yudaleh, Machneyuda's sister restaurant across the street. Sorta of a rollicking, counter-style wine bar type place. Abu Shukri in the Old City of Jerusalem, super casual hummus joint. Located by the Fifth Station of the Cross. (Lina and Ta'ami are also considered top hummus joints, but we didn't get to them on our trip) If you have a car and GPS, Rama's Kitchen in the Judean Hills outside Jerusalem is very good.

Rieux Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 I'd Google around to see if Yotam Ottolenghi or Sammi Taimmi have published any articles about their favorite places. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RaisaB Posted February 9, 2015 Author Share Posted February 9, 2015 Thank you. Rama's Kitchen was actually suggested by Ottolenghi. We have a car reserved but are hesitant on whether to rent it or not... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam23 Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 Eucalyptus was quite good. Had a very nice tagine there. Recommended it to some neighbors who enjoyed it a few weeks ago as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tweaked Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 If you have the time, and can get a reservation (and you will need to get a reservation), I would seriously consider Rama's Kitchen (we went for weekend brunch). The vibe is casual rustic but everything still ends up being rather elegant. The food is lovely, their Taboon oven bread dishes are great, part of the restaurant overlooks their vegetable garden/nursery and chickens wander around the property, all nestled in the Judean Hills. It's a special place. Be aware, if you drive you will need to go through a checkpoint or two and you will need to have your passport with you. And a GPS will be handy, Rama's Kitchen is down some not well marked back roads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
