Day 2 in Jerusalem - Eating Malawach at Mahane Yehuda Market

In January 2019 we spent a week in Israel.
Our first stop was the city of Jerusalem where we stayed at a cute AirBnB, nestled in the middle of the Jewish Quarter, just minutes from the Western Wall.

While in Jerusalem, we explored the famous Mahane Yehuda Market and tried delicious Malawach at Jahnun Bar and juice from the famous Etrog man Uzi-eli, also known as "The Juice Doctor".

We then followed the world famous Via Dolorosa and strolled around the ancient streets of Jerusalem always on the lookout for exciting and delicious food.

The Eucalyptus, a modern Israeli restaurant in Jerusalem Situated in the Artist Quarter of the city a stone’s throw away from the magnificent walls of old Jerusalem is one of the most memorable restaurants one can visit.

The Eucalyptus restaurant, owned and led by Chef Moshe Basson, serves a modern interpretation of biblical cuisine. Chef Basson’s passions for biblical culture drove him to research and resurrect recipes, spices, and local and wild herbs that were part of the traditional cuisine, and were neglected and nearly forgotten for centuries.

Every dish has its origins in biblical scenes and all the spices and herbs used grow, as in ancient times, in the surrounding hills of Jerusalem and Judea.

We had to wait for quite a while as we didn't think ahead about making reservations. Chef Moshe was so kind and treated us to a few rounds of drinks while we waited and even sat down to chat with us. It was an honor to meet such an inspirational person. We'll be back as soon as we can!
