The choices are amazing. If I lived here this would be my food shopping centre. The fruits and vegetables are amazing as are the nuts, spices and Halvah. In addition some great coffee places. Go hungry and snack your way through.

Machneyuda restaurant is named after the Mahane Yehuda marketplace in which it is located. It is a fairly new place, having opened in 2009, and so far it is booming success, garnering wall-to-wall praises in the media.
The restaurant was established by three well known Jerusalem chefs, Assaf Granit, Yossy Elad and Uri Navon, who joined forces to launch a place that serves joyful, modern Israeli cuisine. The restaurant is designed in a colorful, light fashion, and the menu changes daily in accordance with the marketplace inventory and the chefs’ moods. The kitchen is completely visible, allowing you to see how your food is being made. Fish, seafood and desserts are highly recommended. All the dishes are of the highest quality and not too pricey – around 80 ILS per dish.

“Good tasting menu, with amazing club vibes”
This was a very interesting experience. We've dined in club/bar type casual environments, and we've dined in tasting menu restaurants, but this combines the two together. Many people won't like it, so be sure this is what you want before you reserve. We saw a group of 40+ year olds come for their reservation, only...
MoreThis was a very interesting experience. We've dined in club/bar type casual environments, and we've dined in tasting menu restaurants, but this combines the two together. Many people won't like it, so be sure this is what you want before you reserve. We saw a group of 40+ year olds come for their reservation, only to leave before they were seated because it wasn't their style. There is loud thumping English and Israeli music all night long. The kitchen staff take shots. The waiting staff often break out into impromptu dancing to the music. Very casual style of restaurant, yet there is a good tasting menu which I recommend. Do come hungry, as it is an epic amount of food, and requiring at least 3 hours to devour! The actual food was good and inventive, but nothing super special - this won't be winning Michelin stars anytime soon - but nevertheless this was a fun dining experience. Do ask for bar seats facing the kitchen if you're a foodie, it was such a treat to be able to watch all the kitchen staff work to get the amazing dishes out. Reservations are a must - this place gets very booked out in advance.
