Focaccia Bar

A sit-in restaurant that feels like dining outdoors in the magical streets of the center of Jerusalem. The atmosphere is warm and cozy, with a thoughtfully designed interior. A variety of dishes are available at reasonable prices. The staff is exceptionally polite, friendly, and welcoming. There are several parking lots nearby, making access convenient.

We called ahead and booked a seat and when we arrived there were over thirty people outside - all booked ahead. Over half an hour passed and we still weren't seated until we just have up. What a waste of an evening! Updated: We gave this place another try a year later. This time it was almost empty. Unfortunately the wait staff barely knew Hebrew. We ordered the steak (which was good), and the Arais (which was not good). The Arais was too greasy and the pita bread was over done, dry and burned. The fries were decent though!

A friend of ours said this her favourite place to eat in Israel. I was saying to myself, "Ya, sure", with a healthy dose of doubt. I was pleasantly surprised as the potions are generous and the taste is actually quite good. We did not have to wait for a long time even though we are a party of eighteen and was ordering multiple dishes. The prices are also reasonable given the portions served. I could honestly say, "It is worth just coming here to give the place a try and tel me how you like it."

Tasty Italian cuisine at affordable prices. The atmosphere is a good, but can get crowded in peak hours. In a party of eight our food came out in about fifteen minutes. Sadly there are very limited vegan options.

Great atmosphere and excellent service. I’ve eaten here twice in the past three weeks. The first time, the Thai noodles were absolutely incredible. The second time, they weren’t the same - still good but not mind blowing. This is a great option that is open on Friday nights.

I was really amazed. It is such a nice place with a really good atmosphere and nice service. The pizza margarita that I ate there was probably the best pizza I had in Israel so far. I can totally recommend this place!

Great food AWFUL service. It took 12 minutes before someone took drink order. Lemonade was very fresh! Pizza came out 15 minutes before my pasta so my husband ate his food alone and I ate my pasta alone…Seafood pasta was really good! The pasta noddles itself was just okay but the seafood was fresh. My husband got the margarita pizza and it was great! Dessert was decent but over priced for as simple as it was.

We came here for my wife’s birthday and ordered the “red pizza” which we love and have had many times before. It is supposed to have peppers and anchovies but came with NO anchovies. We had to complain TWICE before someone came. Rather than offer to replace my meal or reduce the price they brought me a plate of cold anchovies! No-one asked if we enjoyed our food. They even added an extra 6 shekels for rice noodles. The previous time we came I had a burger which I threw up two hours later (I don’t have a sensitive tummy!). We’ve been coming here since 2016 and have sadly witnessed the slow demise of this restaurant. If you want expensive alcohol and bare-backed waitresses then maybe this is for you…but we won’t be going back again.
