On my travels to Israel we stopped at the Shanty and what a great place to eat and drink. Service was excellent the the food was awesome. Highly recommended!!!
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.

“Great food...”
“Restaurant”
A brilliant place for a meal when in the Jaffa St area. The food is excellent, the staff are wonderful and the atmosphere is pleasant. Definitely recommended
“Non kosher cosy restaurant tucked away”
This restaurant was located next to our accommodation and in an area of almost exclusively kosher eateries, this one suited my OH who fancied some seafood. Our server was friendly and very apologetic when they got a request wrong but soon sorted it out. The food was tasty and well cooked.
