Sit outside and enjoy delicious food and wine! And don't forget to make a reservation! We were even admiring another party's special dish, and the waitress brought us some...no charge.

We went there on a Saturday evening, although they booked for 8 pm, it took one more hour, due to the end to the religious holiday. The restaurant is conveniently close to the old city (Jaffa gate). All dishes were tempting. Unfortunately a couple of them were not available this time, as they could not be prepared during the religious... More

2 starters 2 mains 2 bottles of san Pellegrino (large) 2 deserts 1 glass of white wine 550, svc charge not included. Lovely dinner, good atmosphere, great service, good food selection. Would go back only because restaurants back home in London are even more for the same quality. Chocolate soufflé is lovely.

The idea of using biblical ingredients is outstanding, but the execution fell just a bit short. However, the atmosphere, location and great service make it a nice place to spend an evening. Next time I would try the chef's tasting menu to get a feel for more items on the menu.

Enjoy the atmosphere, the very friendly service, and the special well balanced tastes of this kosher restaurant. We discovered it almost by accident and it's been a surprise!

We thought the restaurant was excellent overall. Atmosphere - simple, rustic surroundings, but white tablecloth/small candle votives and nice wine glasses. Restaurant was full and boisterous, but tables spaced well, felt private. A good place for both small geoups and for two. Service - Our server from Belarus was very helpful, patient with us as it took us a long... More

I had high hopes after reading reviews on tripadvisor, but Eucalyptus fell short. It is described as a bible restaurant, using ingredients found in the bible. All the dishes sounded delicious but when they arrived turned out to be rather bland. Food was well presented and they clearly are trying. The food was okay, solid, but lacked any real distinction.... More

Splendid Restaurant with a nice ambiance, friendly service as well as fantastic food and a great choice of israeli wines. Give it a try (although a bit pricy, but it's worth every shekel)!

We have been visiting Jerusalem for many years, yet only just heard about the Eucalyptus which is Kosher The inside of the restaurant is very rustic looking, and was packed. I guess the eclectic mix of people reflects the restaurant's wide appeal. The chef/owner visited each table which was a nice touch. In the middle of the restaurant he did... More
