The Restaurant at David Citadel Hotel

"At Scala restaurant and bar, chef Oren Yerushalmi (who trained at WD-50 and Bouley in New York), prepares a creative, kosher Mediterranean menu; the less formal Seasons restaurant serves an extensive Israeli buffet breakfast"

"The pampering continues in the hotel’s award-winning spa; at its many inventive restaurants (which include the fabulous Scala as well as a kosher sushi bar); and in each and every interaction with the staff, a group of menches (Yiddish for “good people”) who bend over backward to make sure that all requests are accommodated"

"Rooms are spacious and beautifully appointed (the suites are knockouts), there are three restaurants, and facilities include executive lounge, outdoor pool, children's play centre, spa and gym"

"The Seasons restaurant is due to re-open soon, but no matter: a taste of that famous Israeli breakfast can be sampled at the nearby Mahane Yehuda Market, a quick 20-minute walk away"
