Restaurants - Few minutes walk from The Palatin

There are over 3000 restaurants/cafes in Israel http://www.restaurants-in-israel.co.il/ of which about 200 are in Jerusalem.

Just about a 5 to 10 minutes walk from the hotel, you will find at least 20, if not more of delicious restaurants, raging from basics like Homous/Tehina/Shwarma and felafel to gourmet French cuisine !
Just around the corner we have the King of Felafel - open from early morning till late at night. Everyody loves his fresh felafels, delicious Shwarma and crispy french fries (chips - for the locals).

Friday nights is always a bit of a problem for the tourists, as they believe that everythng is closed, and that they will not find a decent restaurant. Have no fear....some of the best restaurants are just a few minutes away.
The staff at the reception will gladly advise you, show you on the map where the restaurants are located, and will make a reservation for you, especially for a Friday night, as the places tend to be quite fully booked.
