Katy's

Review of Katy’s in Jerusalem – A Hidden Gem Worth Every Bite Tucked away in a quiet corner of Jerusalem, Katy’s is a rare culinary treasure that effortlessly blends warm hospitality with truly unforgettable cuisine. From the moment we walked through the doors, we were met with a charm and authenticity that set the tone for the evening. But what truly elevated the experience was Katy herself — an absolute gem of a host. Her passion for people and food shines through every detail, from the curated menu to the cozy, elegant ambiance. The food was nothing short of phenomenal. Each dish was crafted with care, bursting with fresh, bold flavors that spoke of both tradition and creativity. From the delicate starters to the perfectly cooked mains, every bite was a celebration of taste. The filet was tender and seasoned to perfection, the sauces rich yet balanced, and the side dishes thoughtfully paired. And don’t even get me started on the desserts — decadent without being overpowering, and the perfect ending to a flawless meal. What makes Katy’s truly special isn’t just the food, though that alone would warrant a glowing review. It’s the experience as a whole: the way Katy engages with guests like longtime friends, the relaxed yet refined atmosphere, and the sense that you’ve stumbled upon something genuinely unique in the heart of Jerusalem. Whether you’re a local or visiting from abroad, Katy’s is an absolute must. I can’t wait to return — and next time, I’m bringing more friends.

The food is excellent — they only cook with olive oil in the kitchen (no toxic seed oils)! Had the kabob and fish and both were amazing. We sat outside which was very lovely. Highly recommend!!

Absolutely lovely people. Treated us with kindness and respect, and gave us all the attention that was needed. The cuisine itself was just incredible. Nothing was mediocre, and everything was just nothing short of fantastic. It is a little pricey but you will get your money's worth.

The total experience was out of this world, the service, the attitude, the atmosphere, the care for details and off course the food. Katy and her staff paid attention to each one of us and it was such a different experience then other restaurants we visited, highly recommended and we will for sure be going back.

Katy’s is the best restaurant in Jerusalem hands down. From the atmosphere, the incredible food, and the amazing Katy herself. Do yourself a favor and go!

This charming little place, which made me reminiscent of Parisian cafes that I like so much, had delicious food and excellent service. It was an honor to meet Katy — the proprietor of this establishment. I will definitely come again next time I’m in Jerusalem.

I found this restaurant by accident and loved it so much we went back two nights in a row. Both ways of getting the salmon are delicious and the duck was amazing. Definitely coming back.

Though the war rages on and the world looks on in judgment Katy’s endures. A Jerusalem staple for 50 years Katy’s is a hidden pearl in the midst of Jerusalem. The old world charm mixed with the love and personal care of Katy herself this venue is not to be missed. We tasted incredible flavors from the patè to the sautéed mushrooms with a butter herb reduction which were an indication of the gastronomic joy which we were about to experience. The champagne was lovely as was 2005 gorgeous bottle of classic French red wine. Our steaks and lamb was prepared to perfection and the attention from the owner and her staff demonstrated a total commitment to her business and the satisfaction of her clients. If you have never visited, you owe it to yourself to do so, and if you have previously been a customer, now is the time to make a return visit. Katy is a legend and the restaurant is a lovely piece of history and you will not regret the decision for a lovely dinner.
