Charming old world location. Atmosphere takes you to another era. You need reservations almost all the time. Be prepared to choose from a limited selection. Many items on the menu were not available.

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.

We had to sit in the entrance as the place was mostly reserved and that is understandable but they kept opening the door to go out and smoke and talk to each other so it was freezing cold as well.

MoreWhen I went to Israel, my favorite restaurant was Barood. My family and I went on Christmas Eve for dinner and the atmosphere was simply magical. All the staff was so friendly and I was SHOCKED at the food- so unique. Appetizers: lean, tasty rump steak. For the main course, we had a simply DELECTABLE shepherds pie, which I would recommend because it was layers of Christmas food. Collard greens, ground beef, and cranberry sauce. It all tied together so nicely and was just such a perfect thing to eat on Christma Eve. And dessert. . . oh my goodness. My head was blown. . . we ordered an off menu item, a house specialty which was apricots covered in some sweet white sauce. Ahh, delicious. Also, the staff was so nice. Really amiable. So, yeah. . . that is why Barood is my all-time favorite restaurant. So unique and charming, and I don't think I have ever been to a restaurant like that before.
