A lunch for two, tasty food, high standard, good service, good cocktails served on a airy balcony along with a good breeze at noon time in Jerusalem. Kosher for those who are looking for such food, historic building for those who look for nostalgia. A third round is seen in the future.

A Magical Location and Unique Atmosphere
Located in a quiet corner of downtown Jerusalem, Anna is a simple concept restaurant that has quickly become a darling among Jerusalem’s kosher foodies since opening in 2016. Locals and travelers alike have fallen in love with the modern Italian cuisine, fresh ingredients and the magical vibe of the restaurant and Anna Ticho House property.
Uncompromising quality
A mainstay of Jerusalem’s dining scene, Anna Chef Nimrod Norman is not a man known for compromising, a quality you’ll appreciate once you experience the atmosphere and taste the food.
For Norman, all the ingredients must be fresh, the dishes executed to perfection and the service courteous and polite. He takes great care in maintaining the spirit of classic Italian dishes while also adapting them for the Israeli palate with creative Mediterranean-inspired twists that produce an unforgettable culinary encounter.
His “Gnocchi Anna” — with freshly-made, soft-as-clouds gnocchi, creme fraiche, roasted tomatoes and asparagus — has become a signature main dish and the first bite of the key lime pie is a transformative experience.
Events at Anna
Intimate, picturesque, magical, authentic — if you’re looking for these qualities in a venue, then you can’t pass up the chance to celebrate a special occasion at Anna. From the arched ceilings and romantic lighting inside to the patio seating and gorgeous courtyard outside, the venue simply oozes charm.
And the hospitable management and staff are more than happy to help you organize a special event menu with an eclectic selection of food, wine and alcohol.
The restaurant itself holds up to 70 guests, with a terrace that can host 50 and an intimate private room for up to 18. Meanwhile, the courtyard has a max capacity of 250.
Nimrod Norman, Our Chef
Known to his friends as Nimi, Chef Nimrod Norman has an uncompromising dedication to quality and freshness and believes that no more than 60 seconds should pass from the time your dish leaves his pan to the time it arrives at your table.

“Incredible ”
Absolutely delicious salads, pasta and fish. Chocolate mousse was even better- the best mouse I've ever had- it comes with a caramel sauce. Service, ambiance very good. Very good QPR.
