Bar BaHar is high up in the Jerusalem hills, a lovely and occasionally tricky drive up a winding alpine road. It's a great place for a typical Israeli brunch -- coffee, shakshukah, and various mini middle eastern platters. Plus, they have an authentic Italian pizza oven. Go on a nice day for the fresh air.

Bar Bahar offers a rustic dining experience featuring dairy and vegan options in the scenic Jerusalem Forest near the town of Nes Harim. It is the perfect place to stop if you’ve come to the area to hike and explore the natural surroundings.

MoreAfter visiting the Stalactite cave we were ready for a vegetarian lunch. It is located at the entrance to American Independence Park which is great place for a hike (shorter or longer). We set outside enjoying the breeze, the silence and the flowers. We had several appetizers including cauliflower with tahini, eggplant with tahini, and focaccia. Some took shakshuka (eggs in tomato sauce), some Indonesian salad (with tofu and rice) and some vegetable salad. We had also some deserts. All was fresh and tasty. Service was efficient. Price was moderate. Good place to revisit.

“My favorite place”
The name Bar Bahar means Bar in the mountain. This place is a “Mecca “ for bicycles riders and motorcycles riders. The view is unique!!! The atmosphere is friendly and quiet. I like The owners (Merci and Amir) I visit the place every weekend Enjoy
