The meat dishes are sublime, not cheap. You have to keep some room for the desert. It may be even be the highlight of your exquisite dining experience.

The Red Heifer steakhouse specializes in meat that is aged in-house.

On Sundays and Wednesdays there is a salad buffet and free antipasti with every steak.
The restaurant has formed part of the Jerusalem landscape for a decade. The owner, Yossi Wanch, worked as a butcher in New York and opened a restaurant in Manhattan, giving him invaluable experience in the world of meat. Service is American style. The Red Heifer Steakhouse is kosher.

“Solid service but WAY overpriced”
First let's go over the good: 1. It was centrally located (near the old city next to the YMCA). 2. The waiter was extremely nice (an Australian living in Jerusalem) and the restaurant took our reservations last minute (for 6 people). 3. The owner stopped by to say hi and asked us about our experience. 4. Everything...

The filets were fatty and almost inedible. I would not mind except we spent almost $700 dollars American on the meal. For that kind of price, the steak should melt like butter.

Delighted to have found a meat restaurant under highly respected supervision. And, the steaks were well executed - in particular, the medium-rare, charred ribeye came out perfectly. But the service was odd. Yes, it was friendly bordering on charming but what was the point of bringing out our main courses while we were still enjoying...

But the service was odd. Yes, it was friendly bordering on charming but what was the point of bringing out our main courses while we were still enjoying our starters. And then, unbelievably, we were being shown dessert choices while in the middle of enjoying our steaks. Actually, to call it “odd” is being favourably euphemistic.
