The first rule about Machaneyuda is that you don’t talk about Machaneyuda. Well, that’s not true, but the hottest restaurant in Jerusalem right now is a place without a sign, in a neighborhood just traditional enough to be cool for the ironic-hipster scene – Machane Yehuda. Unlike most of the other eateries around the shuk, Machaneyuda (an amalgamation of the market’s names, a popular Brangelina-like device in Hebrew slang) is a more upscale (three) chef restaurant, which has a new menu tailor-made for nearly every day. The restaurant was established by three well known Jerusalem chefs, Assaf Granit, Yossy Elad and Uri Navon, who joined forces to launch a place that serves joyful, modern Israeli cuisine. The restaurant is designed in a colorful, light fashion, and the menu changes daily in accordance with the marketplace inventory and the chefs’ moods. The kitchen is completely visible, allowing you to see how your food is being made. Fish, seafood and desserts are highly recommended. Book well in advance!
