Went to Jerusalem on a Friday night to meet guests visiting from abroad and were very happy to take them here. Wonderful area to see at night and the we were surprised by the original and tasty dishes. As a vegetarian I was especially delighted with the delicious Polenta dish topped with beet juice.

yam soup was great, and so was the schnitezel and the salmon steak. Nice surroundings. Service was very good. A bit pricy, but worth it.

The lavan restaurant is at the Cinematek's building, facing Jerusalem's walls. The scene is breathtaking and the food is very tasty and affordable. For a start we ordered Ceasar salad with chicken breast and got some tasty bread and garlicked-butter (dieting people beware). Then we ordered the Veal fillet and Wild mushroom risotto.

If I had to recommend one restaurant in Jerusalem to tourists, this would be it, based mainly on the location and comfort factor.

I love this restaurant. Placed near the old city with one of the best views in town, Lavan maintaining high level of food and service. The salmon tartar is dreamy, and one of the best tartar dishes I ever ate. Book a place in advance to ensure table with a view.

without having seen much of the rest, I am quite convinced that this must be one of the best places in jerusalem: excellent food in combination with excellent movies - I strongly encourage the opening of a hotel, for the future..
