There’s nothing better than a perfectly flaky pastry, and Patachou (Badatz) delivers them flawlessly! With its signature French flair and convenient locations in both Machane Yehuda and on the Mesila, their breads, pastries, and patisserie treats are perfect for a Friday brunch or any indulgent moment. Every bite is a little taste of Paris in the heart of Jerusalem.

Steakiya (Rabbanut) is a kosher grilled‑meat spot in Jerusalem’s Machane Yehuda area from the team behind the famed Machneyuda group. Inspired by classic Jerusalem skewer houses, it offers charcoal‑grilled skewers, hearty steaks, arais, salads, and warm pita in a lively, casual setting that evokes old‑school shuk dining.
