I wish I had written this review sooner, because I can't remember all the details. But this was one of the two best meals I had in Jerusalem. I remember not having one bad dish that meal. In fact, they all tasted amazing. Many dishes were (pleasantly) surprising (to me) in their use of ingredients. The service was also great.

For God's sake it's one of the best restaurants in Jerusalem. Especially... for the food and the cocktails. I took one with cucumbers, I definitely recommend it. The service is friendly but also professional. The atmosphere is cozy. Don't hesitate if you're in town :)
