Middle East and Africa / Israel / Jerusalem / Best Restaurants

Chakra

Chef Eran Peretz’s mastery of wildly varied cooking techniques and his endless energy combine to give this sleek restaurant a menu that’s inventive, cosmopolitan, and absolutely delicious (it also changes with the seasons). Expect scrumptious seafood dishes like black tiger shrimp in a chilli sauce or wild seabass fillet with handmade gnocchi. The cauliflower crème agnolotti in garlic, butter, and lemon is a must-have and the alcohol and wine list are as well curated as the food choices. Chakra is usually busy and the atmosphere is party-like. Come with friends so you can sample and share. Reservations are necessary because this is one of Israel’s best restaurants at any price.
