There are a few iconic restaurants that should not be missed. The first is Cafe Rimon, a perennial favorite with locals and tourists alike on Ben Yehuda Street looking for good food in large portions ordered from an expansive menu. The fact that Rimon is glatt kosher and has separate meat and dairy sides and is open 24 hours a day ensures an eclectic group of satisfied customers.
Just a few blocks away, Darna recreates an authentic Moroccan experience. Don't make other plans--be prepared to spend the evening in the exotic atmosphere of this elegant restaurant.
At the other end of the spectrum is the gritty Pinati humus and felafel restaurant on King George Street. Great value for money and a chance to meet the locals who like their humus fresh and tasty.
For a fine dining experience in the downtown area, Anjelica is hard to beat. Open for lunch and dinner, this kosher meat restaurant serves some of the best gourmet food in town.
Other centrally located restaurants worth a visit include Gabriel (kosher French) Kedma and Spaghettis in the Mamilla Alrov Mall and the Tmol Shilshom cafe hidden away in a courtyard off Nahlat Shiva.
