It has been some time since I have dined here but the food I found to be very, very, good; of high quality and very tasty. The service was also very good. The cocktails, while okay could be upgraded.

Luxurious Restro-Bar at the Heart of the Market
Not a lot of people know that the name of Machane Yehuda Market was originally supposed to be Valero. Well, this new restaurant is claiming it back. Located at the city’s most vibrant market, Valero is a recently opened chef restro-bar that offers its patrons a restaurant dining area, a bar, and a private area. The menu includes meats, fish, and a host of interesting appetizers – all in a modern Mediterranean style with a Jerusalem twist. It’s a great place for an early-evening date, and as the night falls, Valero transforms into a fun bar with great music, drinks and a happy Machane Yehuda atmosphere.
On the Menu
Recommended dishes include: fine entrecote burger with chipotle aioli sauce and grilled potatoes, caramelized salmon with mushrooms and potato cream, ravioli, a fresh market salad, and a delicious dish of the iconic Jerusalem-mix.
The alcohol menu offers a wide variety of drinks and special cocktails, aged wines, and a vast selection of whiskey.
Celebrate Events at Valero
Valero restro-bar is available for hosting private events of up to 85 guests (full restaurant buyout) and of up to 40 guests (on a partial buyout basis) with an option for a projector and an advanced sound system. The restaurant’s servers are kind and attentive, and they will make sure to create the perfect setting to make your event unforgettable. Valero offers customized and personalized menus designed to suit any type of event both in taste and budget.

Moresorry, food is just bad and service is amateurish at best. we ordered 5 starters and didn't bother to order any main courses. cocktails ordered never made it to the table. every single dish was just bad made from bad ingredients, not fresh and made by a very sloppy cock - beef carpaccio was drowned in soy sauce/roast beef was old and was completely overcooked / mulard of low quality fatty and overcooked etc. to top it off prices are very high. it's a generic tourist trap beware.
