Fodor's "On the edge of its namesake market, this restaurant is considered one of the best in Jerusalem, possibly the country." Full review
Frommer's "Named for the way locals pronounce Machane Yehuda Market (and with a decor that purposefully looks like a market warehouse), this is the hottest upscale restaurant in Jerusalem." Full review
Gayot "Starters include sashimi, pan-fried calamari and shrimp with white wine, garlic and "all kinds of stuff." Lamb osso buco, filet mignon and seafood risotto are among the main courses." Full review

Afar Magazine "Inspired by the produce at the nearby Machane Yehuda Market, the menu and the atmosphere at Machneyuda reflect a lively dialogue between haute cuisine and home cooking." Full review
Lonely Planet "A Hawaiian beach shack and serves the same exciting modern fusion cuisine as its big bro – Thai-style beef tartar, Kurdish pastries, truffled polenta – but it's more raucous and more fun." Full review

There are many toppings (don't miss the black-olive spread), and some tasty starters (try the fried mushrooms stuffed with goat's cheese or the fried calamari).
Fodor's "This kosher cousin of the popular Downtown restaurant welcomes you with a large display of fresh vegetables and an open taboon oven where the focaccias are baked." Full review
Frommer's "A very popular place (especially on Shabbat) filled with travelers, families, and young Jerusalemites, Focaccia Bar serves pizzas and focaccias baked in a traditional brick taboon oven." Full review
Lonely Planet "The chef in charge of the taboun (clay oven) at this popular place must be one of the hardest-working people in the city." Full review
DK Eyewitness "Situated on a quaint courtyard, this romantic place, built entirely of stone, is evocative of the early 1900s."
Time Out "Surrounded by collections painted by a local artist, visitors can indulge in the little piece of heaven that is this restaurant’s city-renown focaccia bread, served with appetizing dried tomatoes and mozzarella" Full review
