Three of us: my friend ordered a very rare steak, emphasized he wanted “rare” but received a very dry medium. I ordered medium and got a fully cooked dried piece of meat. My wife ordered the tofu and got a few tasteless tofu cubes stuck on a stick. Very poor selection of beers. Costly

“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.

Based on 292 traveler reviews“Expensive Tasteless food”
“Disappointment”
The location is perfect, the place looks very nice, the design of the restaurant says fine dining, and the prices certainly do. But the food, oh the food was plain, edible but nothing more than that. It seems that no culinary talent neither chef's imagination haven't visit here lately. And that's too 0bad
“This was a new restaurant”
This was a new restaurant for us. Pretty quiet because of Corona. Found the menu adequate for our group of 5. Appetizers were varied and I found them tasty and amply portioned. Mains were done very well. Entrecôte steak was tender and favorable. Recommend.
