JERUSALEM STYLE in the David Citadel Hotel
Scala is located in the David Citadel Hotel, next to the prestigious Mamilla Avenue and the Old City. The leading Italian designer, Piero Lissoni, was responsible for the luxurious hotel atmosphere and the prestigious design, while chef Oren Yerushalmi was responsible for the kitchen and the menu. He collaborated with Executive chef Avi Turgeman to create the dishes served in the restaurant. The welcoming ambiance and fine dining create a warm and inviting feeling that makes the place perfect for a family or couple relaxing at the end of the day. The menu emphasizes Mediterranean style food, including a selection of meats, fish, and salads. Scala is the epitome of Jerusalem culinary experience.
What’s on the menu?
The restaurant’s menu combines two rich worlds: the street food scene that has flourished in Jerusalem in recent years – and a meticulous gourmet style, courtesy of the restaurant chef. On the menu, you will find appetizers such as hot granulated lupine, and chickpeas and eggplant with garlic and lemon. As your appetite develops, you can switch to skewers (turkey, chicken or lamb) accompanied by a selection of grilled vegetables, fresh and tasty fish dishes and a variety of Jerusalem-style main dishes: pine nuts kebab, majdara and shawarma from red meat, lamb, onions and spices. We dare you to try the daily fresh made desserts and not leave wanting more!
Private Events in Scala
At the Scala restaurant, you can organize a host of private events in a spacious and luxurious space for up to 80 guests. Want to celebrate a birthday, anniversary, circumcision, wedding, launch evening, or any other happy event? Scala is the perfect place for your celebration, offering you a private VIP room in addition to the restaurant space, and even a personalized chef menu according to the needs of the event. The friendly restaurant staff will be at your service throughout the evening, which will also include impressive technical specifications.

MoreLocated inside David Citadel Hotel this place is fairly invisible to locals and tourists, but it is a must visit. Food was scrumptious, even if the menu is fairly limited (no kids' meal btw, but they did have schnitzel and fries for the kids which turned out to be awesome). Some combinations could be better (chicken breast with black quinoa on a beetroot spread), others were more successful (Tehini, or Entrecôte) Good vibes, luxurious setting, but the music is too generic (and that's an easy fix). Will return.
Less“Very Little Food & Very Expensive”
We were not impressed when they set down one small chicken breast, sliced into four small pieces, for six people to share. We waited all evening for our meal only to realize that what we thought was a small appetizer to share was actually our meal! Ridiculous!
