Bites of JLM 🍴

Renowned for its unique sourdough  crust and authentic Italian sauce, Anthony’s Pizza (Mehadrin) is a great place to pop into when you’re looking to grab a slightly elevated slice!

Part of the unbeatable Kikar HaMusica restaurant lineup, Nahman (Mehadrin) is an Italian-Mediterranean spot that combines all your favorite dairy dishes, but with a Middle Eastern twist. Pro-tip - if you go in the evening there’s a good chance that you’ll get to enjoy your meal with live music in the background! 

If you’re craving pastries from Harim but don’t want to leave the city, then Migdal (Rabbanut) in Ir David is your best bet. Enjoy delicious handcrafted pastries that taste as good as they look with the view from the top of King David’s tower - exactly as David HaMelech intended.
