About Focaccia Moshava
Charming with a touch of hipness, Focaccia Moshava (aka The Kosher Focaccia) is one of the best and most popular restaurants on Emek Refaim Street.
The Menu
Much like its non-kosher counterpart in the city center, Focaccia Moshava has a menu based on the Italian kitchen with a variety of other Middle Eastern, Mediterranean and continental dishes to round it out so that there is something for every taste.
Try some of these signature dishes:
- Beef carpaccio — tender, thin slices of top-notch raw beef drizzled for taste to perfection with olive oil and balsamic vinegar
- Veal ragu with fettuccine — thin strips of veal cooked in a succulent sauce of tomatoes and herbs
- Veal sweetbread and entrecote skewers on top of grilled portobello mushrooms
- Ram’s mixed grill — liver, hearts grilled with pieces of chicken and sirloin drizzled with a light coating of tehina
- The fresh-baked focaccia breads with a variety of topping choices
- The juicy, cooked-to-order Focaccia burger with goose breast and avocado
- Fish kebabs with a spicy salsa and lemon tehina with ciabatta bread
On top of the food, Focaccia offers a variety of quality wines at quite reasonable prices, as well as signature cocktails from the bar.
On weekdays from noon to 5 pm, you can take advantage of Focaccia’s awesome business lunch deal of an appetizer, main course and dessert at a fixed price starting at 69 NIS — far and away one of the best deals in town.
And stop by on Friday afternoons to check out the Focaccia Moshava market, which features a huge spread of salads, spreads, meat and fish dishes, desserts and more that you can buy by weight and take home for Shabbat meals.
Events at Focaccia Moshava
The dining space is as delightful as the menu, with indoor, outdoor and bar seating options, comfortable chairs, high ceilings and plenty of room.
It can accommodate events of up to 150 people, including bar/bat mitzvahs, birthdays, corporate events and intimate celebrations, and the chef offers special fixed menus with your dishes served in a communal style in the center of the tables.

If you walked up to there just continue. Any restaurant around is better than this one. The food is basic. We got a mixed grill served on bread that wasn’t any better than a fast food place, the pasta was nothing special. The place deserves a better cook, come on with a location like...
MoreIf you walked up to there just continue. Any restaurant around is better than this one. The food is basic. We got a mixed grill served on bread that wasn’t any better than a fast food place, the pasta was nothing special. The place deserves a better cook, come on with a location like this! The business lunch is 69 and includes a starter, meal and hot beverage. You get what you pay for, I prefer to buy a mixed grill on the go and a beer for that money.

“Kosher food, big portions, good quality”
We enjoyed our meal in Foccacia on a cold Jerusalem evening. The atmosphere is warm and the food is abundant. Portion size is excessive, but prices are reasonable, so you get a lot for your money. I would gladly go back to order other items on the menu. Our group of four had two...

Portion size is excessive, but prices are reasonable, so you get a lot for your money. I would gladly go back to order other items on the menu. Our group of four had two salads, chicken liver, and a hamburger and everyone walked away pleased and sated.
