Between the Arches
בין הקשתות
Between the Arches is a mehadrin-kosher dairy and fish restaurant at 174 HaGai Street, next to the Western Wall plaza, inside a 13th-century stone building. The menu is built on dairy cooking with local touches: stone-oven pizza, penne in beet butter with Bulgarian cheese, a Jerusalem-style mixed fish plate and focaccia with house dips, plus breakfast deals. The walls are ancient stone and the ceiling is vaulted. Open Sunday to Thursday 09:00–18:00. Evenings and Fridays are for events by prior arrangement, in a space for up to 90 guests. The restaurant hosts bar mitzvah meals after the ceremony at the Kotel, and it is worth booking ahead.
