The chef has obviously gone to great pains to reinvent Israeli cooking. We ate there in the early evening, and had a light meal of tomato soup, kubbeh, and fritters. You can see their somewhat unusual menu at "modern restaurant jerusalem complete menu". The tomato soup was a full, "meaty" soup with lots of tomatoes, and the kubbeh had a... More

Food was ok. Again, we were the only people there--makes you wonder.....but it was a good place to rest and get something to eat while visiting the Museum

On Dec. 19 you carried a negative review about this restaurant, which referred to a "company of seven men" other than the reviewer. I was one of them, and I want to go on record that I had a distinctly different experience. My main dish of Sofrito was excellent (and generous) as was my first course of chicken livers, which...

Last night, in the company of seven other men, I had the disappointing experience of paying a premium price for a far less than premium dining experience. Our waiter was pleasant but highly unprofessional. He forgot to bring a glass of wine that one of us ordered, and it then took him a great deal of time to obtain it.... More

I had a family affair at the Modern Restaurant, held on the enclosed balcony during regular lunch hours while the restaurant was open to the public. The seating for a 100 people buffet lunch was about the upper limit but did not feel too crowded. The balcony enclosure looks great, lets the sun in, and can be curtained off from... More

we arrived in Jerusalem and went directly to the Museum to meet our son. On arrival there we found my two sisters with spouses, who had been touring the museum. I opted for a tuna salad, and my wife the breakfast. Although one orders from the counter, the staff are quick to bring it to your table. My tuna salad,... More

Attended an evening meal here as part of large group. We were seated outside in what was a nice space with comfortable seating. The first course was a "tapas" of falafel, couscous, houmous, vegetable sticks and was really good. It was so good that the waiting staff also decided to eat the food and in front of us as they...
