Definitely worth a visit! Fun, lively atmosphere - loud music and singing. Many fellow diners seemed to be locals celebrating birthdays and other special occasions. Food was delicious - especially the polenta and lamb ragout!

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.

MoreI was invited to this restaurant because my partner said it was one of the world best. First of all, the atmosphere was totally inconvenient, the music was too loud and a conversation with my partners was simply impossible because of that. The food - okay, they tried their best to come to some average standard. It was nothing special at all! Finally, there was one bright light: The friendly and warm welcome and the excellent service of the waitresses - the only reason to give a tip! I am disappointed - next time I will go anywhere else for a simple Falafel - this will be a much better decision. Nils Doerfel, Germany
