Yerushalayim Hakatana (Little Jerusalem)

A delightful outdoor cafe in the gardens of the historic Ticho House. The setting is reminiscent of an English country garden, with surrounding foliage and bright flowers, tweeting birds and green chequered tablecloths. The cafe prides itself on its light, dairy meals and its weekly concerts. On Tu, from 8pm to midnight there is a cheese and wine evening with live jazz (NIS 50) and on Saturdays at 8.30p a buffet with a string quartet playing light classics (NIS 70). Reservations are recommended for both these events. The Jerusalem breakfast, which is served from 10a to midday and feeds two, includes labana (a soft, white cheese), za'atar (a Middle Eastern spice), olives, feta cheese, Israeli salad, homebaked bread, shukshuka (spicy scrambled eggs with tomato), juice and hot beverages. Pasta comes in all sorts of interesting flavours, such as pumpkin ravioli and spinach fettucine. There are six different sauces to choose from to accompany your pasta dish, such as roasted peppers with cream and white wine, roquefort, walnuts, and arugula. The children's menu for NIS 32 includes a pizza or pasta dish, along with a drink and ice cream. Average meal price: NIS 60.
