About Dolphin Yam
One of the most popular fish and sea food restaurants in Jerusalem, Dolphin Yam (translated as Sea Dolphin) attracts locals, Israelis that come especially from the rest of the country and tourists. The restaurant has been mainstay in the city for over 45 years in large part thanks to its the professional chefs, great customer service, affordable prices and outstanding cuisine.
Cuisine & Menu
The restaurant may be most famous for its fresh fish and superlative seafood but its other specialties include an extensive selection of meat, pasta, vegetarian dishes and kids meals. The menu combines local flavors and uses carefully selected fresh and seasonal ingredients.
If you go to dinner or lunch hungry (we recommend it, actually), getting the generous seafood (250 NIS) or meat (270 NIS) platter for 2 is definitely a must. The seafood platter is a smorgasbord of calamari, shrimps, 2 types of crab, scallops and mussels, and with the meat platter you get rib-eye skewers, lamb chops, beef fillet medallions and 4 Middle Eastern lamb kebabs with the option to add some foie gras for just 25 NIS.
And if you’re dining party is more than 2 people, don’t worry. You can add an additional portion to your platter starting at 125 NIS per diner.
Location & Events
Dolphin Yam is set in a preserved Jerusalem building on Ben Shetach Street in downtown Jerusalem and maintains an authentic local atmosphere.
The restaurant has a gallery floor that can hold up to 65 diners and is perfect for birthdays, weddings, anniversaries, business meals, and other events.

MoreThe place were recommended by the hotel stuff (not kosher, open on Saturday), and when we came there, we discovered that we've already been here three years ago - just didn't remember the name. You have a business lunch also at Friday and there's a lot of food in it for a little money. We ate there also the day after and really enjoyed our fish and meat choices, but not a pasta - it was plain. Cream Brulee and cappuccino were very good! Friday evening we passed near the place and saw that it was very overcrowded and there wasn't 2 meters between the tables, even outside. So, sadly, we went to another place.

MoreIts not easy to found nice open place in Jerusalem during Shabbat time, especially without reserve. But not in Dolphin restaurant! The mezze starters were really good . For main course we ordered incredible risotto and seafood plate . Unfortunately , the seafood was not fresh enough. But understanding stuff immediately take the dish back , and also we got millions of excuses and free of charge dinner. So I understand, that ones everything can happened , even in a good places, but high quality of service and friendly team are the key to success. Good luck to all the stuff and see you next time.
