Mona opened up downtown about 10 years ago as a bar and over the past five years has transformed into a restaurant.

The menu is a mix of Mediterranean and European, with an emphasis on quality ingredients, fresh meat and fish from the Mahane Yehuda marketplace, seafood and fresh pasta for reasonable prices. The restaurant has a cozy atmosphere and is housed in a beautiful building, which was built in the late 19th-century, was inhabited by Jerusalem’s high society since the ‘50s and later served as the original campus of the Betzalel School of Art and Design. 

Among the recommended dishes are the red drum with shrimp and two gravies; the seafood stew with butter, lemon butter and garlic; and the shrimp and squid curry with yogurt, squid, asparagus and hot chili.

    We were hard pressed to find a nice place open on Friday evening and if you’re in the same boat, look no further. The food was great 4.5+, minor recommendations that may be more specific to our tastes, and the service was...
