Beautiful location, convenient if you travel from Beit Shemesh to Jerusalem or exploring the Beit Shemesh area. I visited as a part of a tourist group booked ahead. The food was tasty, plenty to choose from. Fast and friendly service. The location is winning - inside of a small pine forest. Recommended

MorePichonka is located in the a forest in the Jerusalem mountains just 20 minutes from Jerusalem. this setting is gorgeous with fantastic views. One of the best features of Pichonka is the large space that allows you to have privacy during your meal wherever you sit. I have never seen so much space between tables. You must start your meal with a fresh bread from the oven. Served with various toppings and dips these are so good that we sometimes stop to buy one and take it home to eat. The menu is mostly meat dishes all of which are excellent, and if this concerns you the restaurant is strictly kosher. We always find the service to be good with the waiters well trained, helpful and knowledgeable. Give it a try - we think that is worth it!

MoreWe were out in the Jerusalem Mountains, returning to the city after a visit to the cavern, and spotted a sign for this place--kosher meat restaurant that I had heard of, but never visited. So this was its day. It's an upscale meat restaurant, with no business lunch special--so it was a bit pricey as lunch goes. We ordered the two least-expensive dishes, and enjoyed them very much. Service was pleasant and professional. Recommended.
