Four of us had dinner here. The food (steaks, lamb chops, chicken) was good. The restaurant had a good wine list - mainly reds. Service was very good. If one eats outside one can listen to the live music in the square.

“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.
