Inside the beautiful hidden Jerusalem Artists’ House, which used to be the original Bezalel Art School downtown, Mona is an exceptionally popular bar and restaurant nestled in a stone-walled garden. If you’re looking for some truly local atmosphere with a working fireplace and a tree growing through the indoor section, this is the place. Owned and operated by two Israeli chefs known for their modern Israeli cooking, every meat and seafood dish is extraordinary tasteful. Do not miss the Crab Bisque and the special homemade Burger with Chips. Reservations are essential on weekends, while coming late in the evening for a drink at the bar is also recommended.
