Common questions — Restaurants with a View in Jerusalem

How were the places on the list chosen?

Every place on the list was checked against a source — the place's own website, its menu or photos from the place itself — before it went in. Each one shows its address, hours and a Waze navigation button.

Do I need to book ahead?

On rooftops and terraces there are fewer tables with the view than inside, and they go first — on summer evenings and at weekends it is worth booking.
