  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.

Katy’s is a small and celebrated French bistro in downtown Jerusalem. The menu includes typical French cuisine with Middle Eastern touches. Moroccan owner, Katy, is very hands on and makes sure to offer warm and personal service. The restaurant gets busy and it’s recommended to reserve a table in advance.

We had chicken parmesan and chicken with champagne sauce. Food was excellent, service and atmosphere were warm and friendly. I highly recommend this place for a unique experience in the middle of old Jerusalem.

Stepping into smallish Katy’s is entering the vast Jewish Mediterranean world. The decor shows an eclectic mix of oil paintings, humorous period prints and the black & whites of famous Israeli leaders.

Stepping into smallish Katy’s is entering the vast Jewish Mediterranean world. The decor shows an eclectic mix of oil paintings, humorous period prints and the black & whites of famous Israeli leaders. Before you’ve sat down, there’s the deliciously warm brioche; the mezze plate also appears automatically. The choice of food is wonderfully fresh. Portions are generous, but not in a silly or unhealthy way. Wines are excellent locals, both of the house variety or from the list. And then there’s Katy herself: maybe on time, maybe not, but very much present, charming and having sized you up all the way. She knows what you like. Yes, it may be the oldest restaurant in Jerusalem, but it’s timelessly relevant, cozy and fresh. While not cheap, when in Jerusalem, don’t miss this.

“Outstanding fresh food and dining experience ”

If you’re looking for a change of pace - this is it. French Moroccan cuisine with dishes from neighboring countries. Very good wine and excellent service. Family friendly but couples present as well. Definitely recommend!
