Food review

The Terrace is open in the summers and takes advantage of the cool Jerusalem evenings. I even suggest taking a sweater to put on once the sun goes down.

If you haven’t been there lately, not much has changed, except that “Ima,” Miriam Binyamin, has retired and her son, Yaron, now runs the place.

We left Goldy’s, but not before Yitshak had thrust a huge bag of takeaway food into our hands, which meant I had a wonderful Friday not spent in the kitchen for a change. 

It was a lovely evening. And if the proprietors can solve the personnel problem – we were told they find it very difficult to get staff – they will be doing themselves a great favor.

I’d say Danny Meyer’s dream of quality fast food, served at reasonable prices, has a solid future in Israel.

In Jerusalem set out on a delicious tour of three of the city’s establishments, tasting pastries and trying to learn the secret behind the perfect croissant along the way.

We very much enjoyed our experience at Shulchan David and can recommend a visit with total confidence. Great for families with children, too.

This pizza is too good to take home and reheat. Eat it while it’s hot, even if you have to eat it standing up. You’ll thank me later.

Located in the modern Piano Center shopping plaza, it’s a welcome addition to the Ir Yamim neighborhood – combining local and international influences in a casual, flavor-forward setting.

The breakfast costs NIS 140 per person, and I think it offers very good value for money.

At Casa Lavi, there are all sorts of sweet treats: muffins, brownies, cookies, and pastries – something for everyone.
