Savoring The Culinary Legends Of Jerusalem

Have you been to Jerusalem? It’s time to explore its dining scene with Eatagram.

Jerusalem, often referred to as the cultural and historic heart of Israel, offers an unforgettable dining experience. Its cuisine is a unique amalgamation of authentic Israeli fare and innovative global trends.

What are the signature dishes to try in Jerusalem?We do recommend that you start with the most delicious snack in Israel, falafel. It features crispy chickpea fritters with the iconic tahini sauce and pickled or fresh vegetables. This precious mix is served in a pita bread and tastes divine. Once you try falafel, you’ll fall in love with it! Be sure to try hummus, a delicious chickpea spread, and shawarma.

Local upscale restaurants will offer you the incomparable musakhan, delicate chicken marinated in sumac and roasted with onions and pine nuts. It tastes better with warm flatbread.

As the climate of Jerusalem is hot, you can cool off with fresh salads. Tabbouleh, a salad with bulgur wheat, parsley, mint, and tomatoes is refreshing and tastes divine. We prefer the simple yet delicious Israeli salad with diced cucumbers, tomatoes, and onions. So light and refreshing!

If you’re in the mood for a substantial meal, go with the unparalleled semolina and bulgur based meat dumplings called kubbeh. Absolutely worth trying!

As a heat wave reaches Jerusalem, quench your thirst with a glass of freshly squeezed pomegranate juice. A cup of strong and aromatic Turkish coffee will be an excellent choice for a night out in the city. It goes perfectly with the local desserts served baklava, halva or knafeh.

See you in Jerusalem!
