This is how a market should be

This is a great market, clean, fun and lots to do. There is great energy and lots of action in this place. So many stalls to choose from and also a place to sit and have a beer - beers aver VERY expensive!

Great market. This place used to be a dirty dump, but it got cleaned up nicely. Smell the spices ( not the fish..), watch the energetic sellers , shop for local delicacies. I liked the halva shop and tahini shop. In the market are small...More

Addictingly fun place

We had a flat for a month just across the street from the market. We bought our breakfast there each morning and enjoyed shopping for fresh fruits, veggies and breads each day. Our girls even made a little money singing in the market one day....More

Don't miss it

This is a big market with everything you could want. We all loved exploring the vendors and trying all the foods and teas they had to offer. Pick up a falafel sandwich or a tasty sabich and don't forget to ask for amba on top.

Full of smells and sounds and life

We went, of all times on Friday afternoon- do you think it could have been busier as people prepare for the Sabbath?!!! What a visual delight- and the sounds and all the sellers selling everything from spices, to challahs, to fish, to so much more....More

Very unique place in Jerusalem

It is a very special place where you can buy a lot of fresh produce before the sun goes down and then after that you can enjoy a beer at one of many bars that open there in the night. You can buy cheap food...More

Hi Lisa! I envy you for visiting Israel in April 😄 I've stayed 23 days last January/February and I was short of time, there are so many things to see!!! And weather will be great by then... I know Agas 1 restaurant in Mahane Yehuda serves gluten free meals, plus a lot of stalls sell fresh vegetables and fruits or nuts and candied fruit which are really awesome! Here’s a list of some of the more snacky foods you can safely buy and eat and easily find in majane yehuda Bamba – peanut-flavored morsel Aproppo – corn-crispy snack Dubonim – another great snack the kids will love. HaShachar chocolate spread Nutella chocolate spread There are also various pastas, breads, and sweets that are gluten free: if the product you’re checking has ללא גלוטן (gluten free) on it, then it’s safe to eat. If you’re after even more sweets/snacks for the kids, watch out for items made by a company called Carmit, they have a whole range of goodies. Another good option for gluten-free products in Israel is the firm Adittas, which has outlets throughout the country, but their main shop is located in Hangar 13 in Tel Aviv Port. Call them on 1-700-706-506 for details. This is a list of the restaurants in Jerusalem that are known to serve gluten free meals Ben Ami, Dairy menu, 38 Emek Refaim St (Tel: 02-6510070) Parash Coffee, Cafe, Kiryat Yovel Shopping Center (Tel: 02-6417389) Agas 1, Vegetarian, 13 Eliahu Yaakov Banai St, Mahane Yehuda Market (Tel: 054-3133442) Black Bar & Burger, Meat restaurant, 18 Shlomzion Hamalka St (Tel: 02-6246767) Agas Vetapuach, Italian, 6 Safra Square, Yaffo St (Tel: 02-6230280) Tandoori, Indian, Crown Plaza Hotel, Givat Ram (Tel: 02-6588867) Pizza Hut, Zalman Shneor St, Nayout (Tel: 1700-50-60-70) Tito Bravo, Pizza, 12 Shamai St (Tel: 02-6255585) If you need a list of restaurants which serve gluten free in other cities just ask me and I'll be happy to help! I hope this can help you make the most of this wonderful trip you're about to enjoy!!!

Shalom from California! We are coming soon to visit beautiful Israel and we will be staying for one week in Jerusalem. We have a food budget of $100 - $120 USD dollars per day to eat. Will this budget work if we plan to eat at the Shuk for breakfast, lunch and dinner? We also plan to shop for basic foods like coffee, juice, eggs, bread for our rented apartment. Also, if you can recommend some good yet budget friendly shops/restaurants/cafes at the Shuk or Ben Yehuda Street to have breakfast, lunch and dinner? I appreciate your help! Again, we are working with a $100 - $120 USD daily food budget. Thanks! Shalom, Shukran and Todah Rabah! God Bless you all, ~Redenvelope

Does anyone know of a night tour of the market to see the art on the stall doors?

AnswerShow all 7 answers

There is a nightlife tour that introduces the perticipents with bar owners and creates an opportunity to hear more about the market and what is going on there at night. I'd be glad to connect you to them if you wish
