Focaccio Bar
The combination of good food at reasonable prices has made this one of the most popular restaurants in town. The speciality of course is focaccia, baked fresh in the taboun (clay oven) and eaten on a sunny patio. A variety of toppings is available and portions are large and reasonably priced; try the Bulgarian cheese and olive spread (32NIS). The menu also includes a nice 350g entrecôte steak, deep-fried calamari and fried mushroom dishes.

Coolinary
The latest addition to Jerusalem's restaurant row, Coolinary is a gourmet's delight with one of the best names in town. The three energetic Jerusalemites who opened the place went with a romantic, Spanish-influenced interior of dark wood and candles. One whole wall is taken up with wine bottles that are reached with a sliding library ladder; the wine list is five pages long so ask your server to assist in choosing one.

Hamarakia
Old drums, typewriters, records and a beat-up piano line the walls of this purposely ramshackle restaurant. Check out the chandelier made from spoons and ladles! The name of the place (Soup Pot) pretty much sums up the menu – you have your choice of about five different soups. Shakshuka (eggs poached in a skillet of tangy stewed tomatoes; 25NIS) is also available. It’s a very social atmosphere, with just a few tables so you may end up eating with new friends. Live music (jazz jams and acoustic grunge) is sometimes played here.

Restobar
Not quite sure if they had just created a restaurant or a bar, the owners adopted an apropos name. Restobar consists of an oval bar with six beers on tap. You can occasionally hear live jazz and blues and a DJ spins records on Thursdays. Towards the back is the restaurant section, which resembles a living room, complete with fireplace and bookshelves. The menu is mainly salads, omelette breakfasts and meat-based lunches.
