Location is a tad tricky, though parking is easy. Food is very good, fusion fare. Home made hamburger is amazing, as are their french fries. Order the pate of the day - can range from garlic to liver to courgettes - special to say the least. The winner is their home made wine - they do it from start to... More

We enjoyed this restaurant located near the German Colony in Jerusalem. Situate in a converted warehouse or factory it is large but not overwhelming. Interesting food and wines and excellent friendly service. My wife was especially impressed with the risotto, which is not an easy dish to prepare. I had excellent lamb kebabs (more like medallions) served beautifully.

We were 4 persons on friday noon. Was not crowded and very calm. Plates were simple but tasty and not pretentious. Service was polite and efficient. Prices convenient. Pleasant place and good deal.

We've been here a few times and are always happy with the place. Carpaccio is lovely and then there's ample choice and also catch of the day is always good. We always have the wonderful tahini ice cream for pudding. Nice atmosphere and good food.

It's non-kosher (you CAN get cheese in your burger) and open on friday and saturday nights as well. My wife had "the best steak I've had for a long time" of their entrecôte and an above average burger (was there twice) I... More
