The food is delicious! As a vegan, you have to stick to the Appetizers, but they’re really tasty! Cocktails are very good! Service is really friendly! Really nice atmosphere. Pictures: Basil Gin Tonic, Sweet and Sour, Mushroom Risotto, Chocolate Cake and Caramel Cake

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 100 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.

Morepresented as high end food -some of the dishes were indeed fabulous, but some where nothing special. when we re-ordered the second portion of a good dish, within less than an hour the second we got was half the size of the first! cocktails (4 on the menu and said cannot make any that were not listed) were very disappointing. water took forever. and the service was catered to men only. i am female and sat with 3 men -the waitresses only responded to my male companions. the music (not my taste) was so loud -almost at club level.

“Very delicious food!”
I was surprised how exotic the sauces were. I had to taste everything to know what is what and i was very happy with the good food i got.
