Rooftop – Jerusalem Located high above the Mamilla mall, the Mamilla Hotel’s rooftop restaurant and bar offers both culinary excellence and breathtaking views of Jerusalem’s Old City. The kosher menu is inspired by the South-East Asian table but has a decidedly Jerusalemite touch to it. It was jointly crafted by chefs Kfir Mysnikov and Ran Nehemia, and includes offerings such as taboon-baked specialties, meat and fish dishes prepared in a variety of manners, fresh vegetable dishes, marbled steak, and more. The atmosphere is elegant but not at all stuffy, making it a perfect spot for a romantic date or a special family gathering. The combination of culinary mastery and spectacular views makes this place ideal for any occasion - a unique place for a unique city. mamillahotel.com
