Food Guide in Jerusalem

Food & Dining

Do not leave without trying hummus and freshly fried falafel, a Jerusalem mixed grill (meorav yerushalmi) of spiced offal and chicken, sabich (fried eggplant and egg in pita), and sweet rugelach or knafeh from a bakery stall. Mahane Yehuda Market is the single best place to sample a wide range of dishes from different stalls in one visit. Many restaurants in Jerusalem, particularly in Jewish areas, keep kosher and close for Shabbat, plan Friday evening and Saturday dining around the Old City's Muslim and Christian Quarters or East Jerusalem instead.
