This is our third time at Adom restaurant. The first time was really amazing and we declared that the burger should probably go into Israel's top 5! The second time was so disappointing, and we avoided returning for a couple of years. This visit, for us, was an attempt to find the magic again.
And actually, we kind of did...
The food was very tasty; hamburgers and side dishes were delicious.
The service was amazingly attentive and personal (thanks Shachar!).
We enjoyed very much our visit, and would probably come back again.

Very nice non-kosher find. The stuffed calamari were tender and the cream sauce very flavorful. The burger was well cooked and medium and the garnish with fries was plentiful.


Oria was an incredible server, she had great English which made it a lot easier for me:) the food was so delicious!




Beautiful restaurant, great service. Little pricey though.
Chicken Cordon Bleu was little mild but had good crispiness.
Ceviche was delicious and refreshing.
Pasta was little chewy.

It is really cool place located at the first train station. It has not a big one but nice menu, very friendly staff and usually great dishes. This time at the bar the guys were a bit forgetting orders, had to be reminded several times for water, drinks and wine, but overall was a good experience and definitely will be back.














Appetizer beef recommended.
pizza is extra large by default just in case you aim to finish your plate.
pizza lacks meat since cheese does not go with meat.

Tasty Italian cuisine at affordable prices. The atmosphere is a good, but can get crowded in peak hours. In a party of eight our food came out in about fifteen minutes. Sadly there are very limited vegan options.



Great food AWFUL service. It took 12 minutes before someone took drink order. Lemonade was very fresh! Pizza came out 15 minutes before my pasta so my husband ate his food alone and I ate my pasta alone…Seafood pasta was really good! The pasta noddles itself was just okay but the seafood was fresh. My husband got the margarita pizza and it was great! Dessert was decent but over priced for as simple as it was.










Fusion style between Mediterranean and Italian. Food is quite standard, and so are the portion. Service are okay but the area is quite small between tables.




Great place to eat, it gets packed so be ready to be early or call for reservation.
Ate the Beef and cheese sandwich, big plate (almost couldn’t finish it)
Foccacias are also of good size.
Place is really nice and with good instrumental music.
Open in Friday evening.

Had to come for the last breakfast of our trip for the special mushroom omelette! Sometimes the music is too loud at night. During the day the music is mellow and good. There is an area, somewhat enclosed for smokers (very French). There is another somewhat enclosed area and lots of seating inside. We have eaten here for breakfast, lunch and dinner.



























A non-kosher restaurant located in the renovated Ottoman-era First Train Station. The seasonally changing chef menu is still among the best in town, specializing in seafood and fresh fish, chef’s dishes from Italy and France Mediterranean fusion and a selection of high quality wines. Every dish we ordered was excellent! Standouts to look for include a heavenly gnocchi with porcini and chestnuts; pasta and calamari in curry and apple sauce; seaweed risotto with calamari and split blue crab. In winter, the palate-warming chestnut soup appetizer reappears on the menu and must be tried. After 10pm, when Adom becomes more of a wine bar and pick-up spot, a menu of tapas-style dishes and half-portions becomes available. The bar is excellent, as are desserts.



Had dinner twice while In Jerusalem. My daughter loved her pizza, and I think the salad was the best Israeli salad I’ve ever had. Highly recommend







I had the great fortune of doing dinner at Adom with friends last month. Located inside Jerusalem's First Station complex, Adom is full of fun and tasty surprises.
They have a great selection of Israeli wines, and all the apps we tried were fantastic. The Spring Salad with fresh greens was so refreshing, and the asparagus with egg was rich and filling.
For the main, I had the cheese pasta shells with mushrooms. They were so fantastic! Once I started, it was hard to stop. The flavors were phenomenal.
For dessert, the cheesecake and the torte-style salted caramel and chocolate cake were both amazingly delicious. I've had so many cheesecakes in my life that it's hard for any one to stand out, but Adom's will forever stand out for me.
I was incredibly happy with our dinner here, and I'd love to come back next time I have a chance to visit Jerusalem!

The ambience was formal and trendy. The food was very delicious. We got the Pompidou salad and bruschetta. Half of the menu items seemed very expensive, but we did find good options. The service was pretty good (maybe a little slow)



Pleasant Israeli style coffee shop with a more imaginative menu than usual.( Excellent eggs Benedict...if that's you dish of choice). Comfortable seating....friendly helpful, well informed staff
Prices... middle of the road.
A new innovation....not an improvement.
No menus!!! You must use your smartphone to scan a QR code and the menu appears on your phone.
People who don't have a smartphone...eat somewhere else

Cheesy, kosher, and classy. Quality pasta and sauces. A romantic place to sit









We had a large group come here for lunch. While the tables were a little small the food was great and the staff did a lot to accommodate all the guests requests. The restaurant is located in the middle of the old trail station with lots of interesting thing to look at.






Tasted the focaccia with was very light and tasty. Maybe a bit small for the price. Also had a coffee and the bread pudding which was really tasty with the cream and the coulis of fruits
Our guests had a broccoli soup and a Salad. They both looked very good and they enjoyed those dishes very much. In fact all the dishes around us looked very pretty if not tasty which I still want to check. The service was also fine and the place looks clean
Meantime a 4 star until I I have a chance to check the food again for hopefully a five star.
In any case a good option for a dairy restaurant in Jerusalem.

We called ahead and booked a seat and when we arrived there were over thirty people outside - all booked ahead. Over half an hour passed and we still weren't seated until we just have up.
What a waste of an evening!

We gave this place another try a year later. This time it was almost empty. Unfortunately the wait staff barely knew Hebrew. We ordered the steak (which was good), and the Arais (which was not good). The Arais was too greasy and the pita bread was over done, dry and burned.
The fries were decent though!

This place is a lot of fun for all ages. We had a variety of food with our family. Everyone enjoyed their entree. It wasn't cheap but the food was all tasty and fresh. The bathrooms were clean too.






Good food, even better than what expected from a restaurant in a heavily commercialized area. There were a couple of service mistakes but not too bad, and were taken care and corrected quite fast.
The Sabich was awesome, so was the artichoke risotto.
The desserts were nice, but could be slightly better...

Nice restaurant. Pesach menu was simple and over priced. No substitutions of any kind were allowed. Supposedly for kashrut reasons. We were seated at 5 pm and told that we had to be out by 7 as they had a reservation. Then no one came to give us menus until a member of our party got up and retrieved them herself. We were seated on the couch in the above photo. Most awkward and uncomfortable.
















A friend of ours said this her favourite place to eat in Israel. I was saying to myself, "Ya, sure", with a healthy dose of doubt. I was pleasantly surprised as the potions are generous and the taste is actually quite good. We did not have to wait for a long time even though we are a party of eighteen and was ordering multiple dishes. The prices are also reasonable given the portions served. I could honestly say, "It is worth just coming here to give the place a try and tel me how you like it."
