Top Cocktail bars in Jerusalem, Israel

Restaurant of high cuisine
This restaurant is among “must to go” places in Jerusalem.
1. Location. Located on king David street in the very heart of the holy city 🌆 Very close to the Old town of JLM and all sacred places.
2. Exterior. Signboard and entrance do not attract and describe the beauty inside.
3. Peculiarities. The Restaurant is open from 18:00 till night and almost always full. Booking in advance is recommended. Very low chance to find a table “from the street”.
4. Interior. Very welcoming, cosy and nice. 2 zones: outside, yard zone; and indoor section.
5. Service. Client-oriented, professional. Chef 👨‍🍳 creates extremely delicious 😋 dishes, and waiters professionally present them, knowing what drinks 🥤 and wines 🍷 to advise. Compliment from chef is usually served.
6. Parking 🅿️. No particular place devoted for parking. To save nerves and time 🕰️ taxi 🚕 is recommended to get to the restaurant.
7. No devoted space for children.

True luxury dining. I found myself in a warm stony interior @ 1868 in Jerusalem. Service exceptional - surroundings are warm and cosy.
The food — outstanding. Rabbanut Yerushayim. The restaurant is suitable for everyone of every level of faith for a fine dining restaurant.
From the little olive tree brought to your table with olives and small nuts to nibble on as the meal
Is prepared to the perfect wine matching for each course - this is an experience not to be missed. After your main course, you can choose to have your dinner at their Zuta Bar where you can choose from a wide variety of cocktails to go with your amazing dessert.
If you go because of this message, feel free to tell Chef Yankele that I recommended his place to you - it's a real pleasure talking with the Chef:)

It is with great pleasure and a full and happy stomach that I recommend 1868 and it's Zuta Bar.

The food is very good and impressive for Kosher food, and we enjoyed 3/4 of the dishes we ordered. The bresaola starter was wonderful and very well balanced in flavor and texture. The duck main was fantastically sweet and savory, almost making it a candy dish that’s hard to stop eating. The Wagyu Denver cut was like smoked beefy butter, an absolute pleasure to taste. The only dish we were sourly disappointed in was the ceviche which was entirely one note: acidic. It direly needed more salt and sweetness to balance out the flavor, and we were surprised that the same palette that created the bresaola starter let this dish leave the kitchen. All in all a pleasant experience, albeit a little expensive.

It might have been the best meal i ever had. Very expensive but sooooo good OMG!!!

The beat restaurant in Israel hand down
Food service and ambiance are all amazing and its consistency is predictable.
Yankee Turjeman is an amazing chef that constantly changes the menu and provides innovative tastings.

The food was excellent but the service and presentation weren't at the same level.
We arrive 15 min prior to our reservation, our table was empty waiting for us but the guy at the entrance made us wait for the precise reservation's time.
First time in my life that I've been treated this way, it shouldn't be in a restaurant calling itself luxurious.
The food was very tasty and precise, we loved each bite. But badly, the service wasn't so good. We had 3 different waiters for our table instead of 1 as it should be, other tables which ordered after us got served before us.
Furthermore in the kitchen, an effort on the presentation could be made, it'd bring the food to perfection.

1868 is "the" best gourmet Kosher meat restaurant in Jerusalem.

Food is made to the highest standards, every little detail in place and Service is excellent.

We love this place and have been going there repeatedly saving it only for the best of occasions.
Although it's pricey it's most certainly worth it.

This restaurant offers extremely delicious and classy food. The food is presented gorgeously, the setting is intimate and the staff is friendly and extremely knowledgeable of the food and the menu. Guaranteed for a good time over here. 5/5
