Dined alone at Eucalyptus and was convinced by my waitress to go for the tasting menu. So glad she did. The food was simply awesome. Such wonderful variety so beautifully presented and the flavours were amazing. Highlights included the roast cauliflower, the eggplant, the mallard breast (had never had mallard before) and the ceviche. Sitting outside and grazing for hours was wonderful. The staff were so friendly and welcoming and made sure I had a wonderful night even dining on my own.

This is definitely one of the best restaurants I have been to in jerusalem. The service here will make you forget you are in israel. We arrived, and were quickly seated in the outside section on the beautiful artist colony street. The waiter then noticed we were chilly and she brought us blankets! The food came more than quickly, even though the restaurant was definitely busy indoors. The food was really delicious, some of the most gourmet food you'll find in jerusalem. The presentation was pretty as well. If that wasn't enough, the waitress brought us an appetizer, as well as tea after the meal and a second dessert in addition to the one we ordered, all on the house. Only thing to bear in mind is that this is a pricier restaurant, and the portions are smaller (as is to be expected). Overall: Must recommend.

This must rate as one of the best restaurants in Jerusalem - the food was highly original and tasted wonderful and we had the option of sitting outside overlooking the
historic Jerusalem. The staff were on hand throughout the meal and Executive Chef, Moshe Basson, came out and chatted to guests....

Having read lots of positive reviews, we tried the Shir Shirim tasting menu. It was OK - 3 cold starters, three hot starters, three mains and a dessert platter. There was certainly enough food - can't imagine how people get through the larger tasting menus. But really only one or two dishes were memorable and probably only one that I would order again.
Compared to other meals out in Jerusalem, it was expensive. On the plus side the staff were enthusiastic and attentive and the chef came out to speak to us. By the way, the 15% service charge is now included in the bill.
