Jerusalem's Classical Evenings
Close your eyes and embark on a journey back 3000 years in time.
On the terrace of the king’s palace, diners sit at a table full of delights facing the walls of Jerusalem. An abundance of wonderful dishes are served, cold wines are poured into glasses. And in the background, heavenly sounds: King David, in good spirits with wine, plays magical violin melodies.
Now, let’s return through the time tunnel to our days, to the closest experience possible to the imagined one; our chef restaurant Veranda overlooking the magnificent views of the Old City offers a royal summer menu with a violinist playing delicate tunes for the diners’ enjoyment. And the menu? Definitely royal! Quality meat cuts undergoing marination, long cooking, smoking, and grilling processes, alongside a stunning variety of chef dishes.
Strictly kosher – Meats under close supervision (Rabbi Landa and Rabbi Rubin).
