We had a wonderful dinner there with extraordinary food. Experienced one of the best services in my live. the fumoir/bar is perfect for a chill after the diner. A truly conferdable place.
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.

“Superb restaurant off Jaffa”
Superb restaurant off Jaffa St. Wait staff were attentive and answered our questions about the menu knowledgeably. We had the gnocchi and prawns and we were pleasantly surprised. They were both very delicious, tasty and satisfying. Would give it 5 stars except for the fact that the power supply kept on getting cut 4...
MoreSuperb restaurant off Jaffa St. Wait staff were attentive and answered our questions about the menu knowledgeably. We had the gnocchi and prawns and we were pleasantly surprised. They were both very delicious, tasty and satisfying. Would give it 5 stars except for the fact that the power supply kept on getting cut 4 times in the hour that we were there. Nonetheless, we still highly recommend this restaurant.

The four of us loved this place. Our waitress was very helpful with the menu and cocktails. The food was great and very tasty; we were very impressed. Nice atmosphere too. I'd go back if we had more time in Jerusalem.
