  City Center
  Downtown Jerusalem is the heart of the modern metropolis, with nightlife, dining and culture to rival any major city. The area is made up of several neighborhoods, including the colorful Mahane Yehuda Market, charming Nahalat Shiva, bustling Ben Yehuda and Yafo Streets. Each has its own unique personality and atmosphere that you won’t want to miss out on.
  
  South
  South Jerusalem is an up-and-coming area that has seen the development of numerous attractions in recent years, including the state-of-the-art Jerusalem Payis Arena, which hosts some of the biggest international musical acts and sporting events. It joins places like Emek Refaim Street, Malha Mall, the Biblical Zoo, Teddy Stadium, Gazelle Valley and Ramat Rachel tourism complex in making up an area that is particularly popular with families.
  
  West Jerusalem
  West Jerusalem includes some of Jerusalem’s most charming neighborhoods and interesting attractions. Head to the picturesque Ein Karem at the foot of the Jerusalem Hills for a day of nature, quaint shops and elegant dining with a view. And for an unbeatable cultural experience, check out the Museum District, home to the world-class Israel Museum, the Bible Lands Museum, Science Museum and much more.
  
  Old City
  The Old City of Jerusalem has been a center of culture, religion and history for thousands of years, from the time of the Judean kings and the Roman era through the times of the Islamic Empire to the modern State of Israel. Every brick and stone is teeming with history. No trip to the Middle East is complete without wandering through alleys of the bazaar, walking the ramparts and exploring the Old City’s rich history at the Western Wall, Church of the Holy Sepulchre, Temple Mount (Al-Aqsa) or Tower of David Museum.
  
  NEAR OLD CITY
  Not far from the Old City, you can find some of Jerusalem’s most vibrant entertainment and shopping centers. Mamilla Mall is just a few steps from Jaffa Gate and counts as one of the most luxurious shopping centers in the city, replete with high-end shops, Mamilla Hotel’s Akasha Spa and a collection of restaurants with amazing views. And if you follow Hebron Road, you’ll find the First Station cultural complex and the Yes Planet movie theater and entertainment center.

31 Jaffa St, Feingold Courtyard, Jerusalem
- Share

Photo: Barood

- Price $$$$

In a small picturesque courtyard, off Jaffa Road – Jerusalem’s main high-street, hides “Barood”: a very special bar-restaurant, with a rich bar, Sephardic-Jerusalemite cuisine, moderate prices and a unique atmosphere. If you want to spend a quiet hour with a “well-nursed” pint of Guinness, nibble some delicacies, taste genuine “pastelicos” and “albondigas” (we serve great steaks too…), or just meet interesting people while listening to quiet music – “Barood” is the place to visit.

The food is good, not great. The atmosphere was great! We were off a busy and noisy street but felt like we were in a quiet and calm oasis.

“nice place but more expensive than it should be”

The restaurant is cozy with a French air. The wines we tried are of average quality but expensive (50 Nis the glass). The appetizers are in a small portion: we tried the boyikos , cookies with 4 cheeses but we did not feel the cheese (50 Nis)!! The fattoush salad was without pomegranate seeds which make it similar to a green salad another 50 Nis! The main dish we got was ossobuco which was delicious and the price for it was normal (105 Nis). To all the prices a 12% service charge was added to the bill. In summary, 330 Nis for two persons with one glass of wine each, one appetizer , one salad and with one main dish only makes it really expensive. For sure in Paris, would be half price!
