Such a beautiful view, such a great restaurant, excellent food. The service is nice and friendly. It was a bit noisy that's the reason for 4 only. We will definitely come back

A Historical Dining Experience with Incredible Views
Touro is a kosher chef restaurant in Jerusalem’s historical Mishkenot Shaananim neighborhood boasting a beautiful view of the Tower of David and the Old City walls.
Housed in a unique, historical building that was once home to another famous Jerusalem restaurant, Touro’s equally stunning indoor and outdoor dining spaces make it one of the most romantic restaurants in the city.. On the terrace, you can take in one of the best views in town, and the indoor dining space is warm and inviting while reflecting the ancient, yet modern character of Jerusalem.
The restaurant is named after Yehuda Touro (1775-1854), an American Jewish philanthropist who helped fund the establishment of the Mishkenot Shaananim neighborhood.
An Intriguing Culinary Experience
The menu is a vibrant fusion of Mediterranean cuisine and Asian flavors, featuring meat, vegetarian and vegan dishes made using chef Benny Ashkenazi’s unique culinary techniques and only the freshest ingredients.
Private Events
Touro Restaurant is a great option for events – they cater for up to 120 guests on the balcony or for 20 guests in a private room. It is a favorite among Jerusalem’s best event planners for bar/bat mitzvahs and other small-to-mid-sized events.
Benny Ashkenazi, Our Chef

MoreAfter a concert at the mormon university we ordered a table for 4 people on the 21st of july .Because of traffic We arived later than ordered at 22.00 ( the reservation was for 21.45 ). The place is really great with a fantastic view on the jerusalem old city walls . The place is also special with a very hospitable staff and a great design . Because of the late hour We didnt order a lot of food but a very few as It s quite difficult to eat late in the night . The service was great as this restaurant is a great place to spend an elegant evening in a chic place with a great view . To love jerusalem and enjoy a great restaurant is a to come to touro .
Less“The view is worth the visit”
Touro has almost no parking but besides that it is a great Kosher eatery in Jerusalem. The view of the walls of the Old City all light up at night is worht the price of dinner even if dinner hadn't been great. Tasty and reasonable food.
