  1. A

    Hummus Ashkara

    This is where locals go when they're after excellent hummus and fuul (fava bean paste). Further credibility was earned when a national newspaper recently voted its hummus the best in Israel. The sign is in Hebrew only, so look out for the Coca-Cola sign and the tables on the street.

  2. B

    Orna and Ella

    Set inside a beautifully renovated Bauhaus apartment, with a stark white design and no musical distractions, this 15-year-old institution serves homey gourmet cuisine to locals and celebrities alike (Natalie Portman was recently spotted here). It uses the freshest ingredients brought straight from the market and everything is made from scratch. The menu changes weekly, but you can count on the seared salmon, smoked duck and great sweet potato pancakes. Don't miss the excellent pastries!

    Shimon

    With its marinated meats and mix of spices, Shimon makes some of the best soups in the neighbourhood. It's popular with literary types and artists, who descend on the place during the lunch hour.
