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

"A trio of chefs has turned the local dining scene on its head at this fabulous restaurant near the market." 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

Concierge "Located in cosmopolitan West Jerusalem, Mona is set in an art-filled cultural institution popular with the city's ever-dwindling secular population."
Fodor's "Mona's working fireplace and tree growing through the indoor section give a rustic setting to eminently modern Israeli cooking overseen by two chef-owners." Full review
Lonely Planet "Hidden inside the Old Bezalel Art School and usually missed by tourists, which is great if you’re looking for some truly local atmosphere." Full review
DK Eyewitness "This café-restaurant combines great food with a magical, arty Jerusalem atmosphere and exhibits of contemporary and historic Israeli art. "
Time Out "A vibrant restaurant with a creative and surprising menu. Situated in the old stone Artists’ House, Mona is further enlivened by its select menu where unusual, flavorful combinations always sing" Full review
