You didn't expect to come to the Middle East to eat good French food? Think again--Jerusalem boasts some fine authentic French restaurants, most of them owned and staffed by immigrants from France and many of them with kosher certification. They tend to be clustered in the downtown area on or near Ben Shetach Street. The bistro-like ambience and outside dining make them among the most popular Jerusalem eateries.
