  City Center
  Downtown Jerusalem is the heart of the modern metropolis, with nightlife, dining and culture to rival any major city. The area is made up of several neighborhoods, including the colorful Mahane Yehuda Market, charming Nahalat Shiva, bustling Ben Yehuda and Yafo Streets. Each has its own unique personality and atmosphere that you won’t want to miss out on.
  
  South
  South Jerusalem is an up-and-coming area that has seen the development of numerous attractions in recent years, including the state-of-the-art Jerusalem Payis Arena, which hosts some of the biggest international musical acts and sporting events. It joins places like Emek Refaim Street, Malha Mall, the Biblical Zoo, Teddy Stadium, Gazelle Valley and Ramat Rachel tourism complex in making up an area that is particularly popular with families.
  
  West Jerusalem
  West Jerusalem includes some of Jerusalem’s most charming neighborhoods and interesting attractions. Head to the picturesque Ein Karem at the foot of the Jerusalem Hills for a day of nature, quaint shops and elegant dining with a view. And for an unbeatable cultural experience, check out the Museum District, home to the world-class Israel Museum, the Bible Lands Museum, Science Museum and much more.
  
  Old City
  The Old City of Jerusalem has been a center of culture, religion and history for thousands of years, from the time of the Judean kings and the Roman era through the times of the Islamic Empire to the modern State of Israel. Every brick and stone is teeming with history. No trip to the Middle East is complete without wandering through alleys of the bazaar, walking the ramparts and exploring the Old City’s rich history at the Western Wall, Church of the Holy Sepulchre, Temple Mount (Al-Aqsa) or Tower of David Museum.
  
  NEAR OLD CITY
  Not far from the Old City, you can find some of Jerusalem’s most vibrant entertainment and shopping centers. Mamilla Mall is just a few steps from Jaffa Gate and counts as one of the most luxurious shopping centers in the city, replete with high-end shops, Mamilla Hotel’s Akasha Spa and a collection of restaurants with amazing views. And if you follow Hebron Road, you’ll find the First Station cultural complex and the Yes Planet movie theater and entertainment center.

My adult son and I enjoyed a delicious dinner at Versavee, hidden in an alley/courtyard near the Jaffa Gate. We stayed at the New Imperial Hotel, across the courtyard from Versavee, which is how we discovered this charming restaurant. Festively decorated for Christmas in 2019, we were impressed with the elegant, ancient, Jerusalem stone structure, and felt warm and comfortable while dining within the lovely setting. The Christian owner is hand's-on and extremely friendly, entertaining us like family. We enjoyed the delicious Beef Kebab and Mixed Grill, as well as Baba Ganouj to start. The food was so plentiful that neither of us cleared our plates. I highly recommend this wonderful restaurant for a memorable experience.

We were looking for a place to rest our weary legs after an intensive day of traversing Jerusalem’s Old City. We saw the sign for Versavee which led us down a side street. The service was friendly and it was a comfortable place to sit for half an hour or so. We only had drinks (which were fine)!so I am unable to comment on the quality of food.

Great place for dinner!!!! The food is spectacular, the atmosphere is delightful and the staff is attentive and friendly. This place is a cut above so many of the other eateries in the old city.
