Fodor's "On the edge of its namesake market, this restaurant is considered one of the best in Jerusalem, possibly the country." Full review
Frommer's "Named for the way locals pronounce Machane Yehuda Market (and with a decor that purposefully looks like a market warehouse), this is the hottest upscale restaurant in Jerusalem." Full review
Gayot "Starters include sashimi, pan-fried calamari and shrimp with white wine, garlic and "all kinds of stuff." Lamb osso buco, filet mignon and seafood risotto are among the main courses." Full review
