The Best Restaurant in German Colony and Baka, Jerusalem

Background Illustration for Restaurants

South of Downtown, the German Colony is a hot spot for eateries, cafés, and little shops. It's a fun, if crowded, spot to pass a morning, afternoon, or evening. The First Station compound is home to nearly a dozen restaurants. Nearby Baka has its own set of quirky cafés and delis. It's worth the 10-minute walk.

Hasandwich Shel Rachelle

$$ Fodor's Choice

This Tunisian hole-in-the-wall offers pillowy hand-rolled couscous, slow-cooked stews, and zingy tuna and egg sandwiches, served outside on tiny tables or packed up to go. There is no menu, just whatever owner Motti Hadad is cooking in the closet-size kitchen.
