Bookstore, coffee house and restaurant, Tmol Shilshom has been an integral part of the Jerusalem landscape for the past 15 years. At least twice a week, the hosts sessions with top Israeli writers, who read and chat about their stories and poems.

What makes it unique is the blend of people who regard it as their favorite spot from the gay community to religious Jews, locals and tourists. A new menu was recently launched by chefs Mazzen Shweicky and Yaron Winkler offering a combination of French and oriental dishes.

The most recommended meals include the salmon filet, the eggplant, cheese and spinach lasagna and the homemade creme brule.

    Probably the best coffee shop in Jerusalem! Not many vegan options but the few they have are so tasty, and combined with the nuce atmosphere, makes it a very great place to visit. The inside designed as an old library and...

    Wonderfully charming little place with very good Italian cuisine. The entrance is kind of hidden, but once you‘ve found it, you are greeted by an atmosphere of hospitality and wit. Rather than go with the Israeli classics...
