Shanty is a prominent Jerusalem bar-restaurant, which opened in 1992 in Nahalat Shiv’a. The place is a stylish Israeli bistro, with jazz and chill-out music in the background and an upbeat atmosphere. The location adds to the unique design – an original 19th-century Jerusalem building with high arches and special floors covered with carpets.
The kitchen is run by the chef Alon Sela who presents a rich menu of meat, chicken and seafood. Among the recommended dishes are seafood risotto; mussels in cream and anise; spicy wings; and a 400-gr. steak with salad and potatoes. If you visit Shanty and aren’t in the mood for a meal, you can sit at the bar and enjoy the wide selection of wines, beers and other alcoholic beverages.

“Slow Service in nearly empty restaurant”
We went around 8:45 p.m. on a Saturday night. There were dinners in the smoking section but we were the only ones in the non-smoking section. They brought us menus and a carafe of water. We closed our menus as a sign for somebody to take our order but nobody checked...
MoreWe went around 8:45 p.m. on a Saturday night. There were dinners in the smoking section but we were the only ones in the non-smoking section. They brought us menus and a carafe of water. We closed our menus as a sign for somebody to take our order but nobody checked on us as 10 painfully slow minutes past. I got up from my seat to look for somebody only to see a roach scurry across the floor. That was enough. We were wigged out. We were advised that sometimes roaches fly in the window. The idea that this happens sometimes was of little comfort. As if roaches fly in from time to time through the window and you know about it, then buy screens or close the windows. Given the amazing reviews here we could have dealth with the stray roach or the poor service alone but together, we just left. At this price point, I expected better. FYI their must playlist is fantastic.
Less“Great Restaurant ”
“best place for a local amazing meal”
not only a great family friendly atmosphere, but also changes into a great bar at night. reminds me of Cheers "where everyone knows your name". even walking in as a stranger by the time you leave you are part of the family.
