“Music meets culinary excellence”
Tucked away in Nahalt Shiva’s newly renovated Kikar Hamuzika complex, Kinor Bakikar is one of the city’s best new restaurants, boasting a unique atmosphere where music meets culinary excellence.
The menu
Kinor Bakikar features a culinary lineup that seamlessly combines classic European and modern cuisine with local inspirations and ingredients.
For the carnivore with a refined taste, there’s a dream selection of rack of lamb on stir-fried mangold, chickpeas and Persian lemon, duck breast with date honey and pears, roast beef with shallots and Portobello mushrooms and beef au jus sauce and slow-cooked beef shortribs with chimichurri sauce, onions and grilled peppers.
While meat is certainly the star of the joint, vegetarians and fish-lovers won’t go home hungry with dishes to choose from like a fillet of grilled sea bream, fork-mashed potatoes, spinach and grilled peppers, a grilled vegetable medley, vegetable tempura with tartar sauce and freshly made pappardelle pasta with artichoke confit, sun-dried tomatoes, olive oil and lemon.
Alongside the main menu, Kinor Bakikar also has a rich selection of desserts, full bar and extensive wine list.

We celebrated Thanksgiving in Jerusalem at this restaurant. The restaurant was fully booked. They offered outdoor seating. A bit chilly outside but with the heaters and blankets, it was perfect. We sat outside on the town square. The wine menu is not extensive. We had a bottle of local wine recommended by the staff....
MoreWe celebrated Thanksgiving in Jerusalem at this restaurant. The restaurant was fully booked. They offered outdoor seating. A bit chilly outside but with the heaters and blankets, it was perfect. We sat outside on the town square. The wine menu is not extensive. We had a bottle of local wine recommended by the staff. Actually good. They served warm bread with all sorts of accompaniments. The endive salad was excellent. Ingredients were fresh and crisp. A generous serving as well. We shared a 600 gram Cote de Boeuf. The aged bone in rib eye was tender, juicy and perfectly cooked. All dishes were nicely seasoned- not salty. For dessert, a lava cake with ice cream. A nice finish to a delicious dinner. Service was outstanding. Ronen Bechassen was attentive and pleasant. His menu suggestions were very good. Great service, food and ambiance. Well worth a visit.

“Food was delicious. Had liver”
Food was delicious. Had liver pate and lamb short ribs for first course, both attractively presented. For the main course we shared an extremely tasty big cote boeuf (meat on the bone). Dessert was a yummy Lemon cream tart. Had a lovely waitress called Atara who made our dining experience perfect.
