Adom

Frommer's Review

This is my favorite moderately priced restaurant in Jerusalem. The menu is wonderful, the Jerusalem stone dining rooms are spacious and atmospheric, the service friendly, and the music carefully chosen. Lunch deals are a bit more expensive than at the neighboring cut-rate Eldad, but the beautifully prepared dishes you get are worth the difference. With the heavenly (and gigantic) roasted chicken breast in lemon and sage cream on the luncheon special (NIS 41/$9) you get your choice of such appetizers as seafish carpaccio in wasabi vinaigrette, or a rich soup of Jerusalem artichoke with chestnuts. The dinner menu varies day to day but look for casserole of mussels in champagne, very skillful risottos, fillet mignon in brown beer sauce, shrimp in crispy wrap with aioli and capers, very fresh fish, and excellent cheese platters. The house breads are excellent -- the toasted nut bread goes well with the pâté -- and good house wine is served by the glass at reasonable prices. After 10pm, when Adom becomes a bar and gathering point, there's a special menu of half-courses and tapas.
