Excellent food. Tastes are very accurate. High French Israeli cuisine. The atmosphere is calm and wonderful. Service at the right level (not pushing).

Excellent food. Some of the best food I have had in a while. Great small portions with incredible ingenuity in taste. Service was really helpful contrast to some of the negative TripAdvisor feedback. It is pricy but I think it is naive to expect otherwise...going in. After all this is a place for fine dinning and to experience high level gastronomy. I believe this place is worth a visit if your are in Jerusalem or are looking for a great experience.More

We were two couples having lunch. The place was not crowded yet noisy and the waiter unpleasent. The food was actually very good but all the portions were sample sized miniatures by any standard. When we returned a 20 USD entree vegetarian pasta olio that...had two forksloads of spaghetti, three dried tomatos, five olives and no Parmigiano, the manager came over and told us this was their "product policy" and they stand behind it. There are way better options in Jerusalem, certainly at this price range.More

Had an excellent meal in the garden which was well paced and not rushed. The staff was extremely attentive without being intrusive and was knowledgeable about the wine list and menu. Will definitely return.

Excellent brilliant service but extremely expensive for no reason. Small and sloppy dishes, we expected to celebrate a birthday with nice dinner and we finished with nice bill. We must note that the service is extremely good, the waiters are nice, smiling and super supportive.

A great little place tucked away. We sat in the courtyard and enjoyed some great unusual dishes, a twist on local cuisine which was great. Enjoyed our evening would recommend

We came here with a group of 20 to celebrate a family occasion. We were asked to choose certain items to make a set menu. The food was delicious (like really delicious), the service was thoughtful and the ambiance was special and quaint. It wasn’t...cheap but well worth it! No question, I’d definitely returnMore

We absolutely loved our meal and experience at Mona! Our server (Isom?) was fantastic and so knowledgeable about the menu and the wines. Everything we tried was perfectly prepared. The yellowfin and broccolini starters were delicious. The Barr Filet (sea bass) with linguini was outstanding!

We had a large group for dinner and drinks. Quick service, poured wine quickly. (As Americans in a new land) we literally could not make up our minds on what to have so we just had them start bringing small dishes which we passed around...while drinking wine and chatting… it was perfect! We all had bites of things we liked and passed the plate on things we didn’t. These girls really worked to keep our glasses full and we loved every minute… we totally recommend Mona!!More

We were both looking forward to trying out this rated restaurant, unfortunately it didn’t live up to expectations. The dining experience started well with a pleasant reception. Our waiter who was initially  looking after us was superb.  After our mediocre starters the restaurant started to...get slightly busier and standards fell rapidly. The waiter moved to another section and the waitress who took over from him blatantly  didn’t really care, this was  noticeable in her mannerisms towards us, especially when I mentioned my wife’s moules (see picture) which were cold and the portion size was only fit for a child’s size portion. The bread which was intended for the main course arrived at our table at the end of the meal the waitress didn’t care when I brought this to her attention. Perhaps they were having a bad day, however there were no excuses for them treating us poorly.  More

We sat at the bar for dinner and had a lot of fun. This restaurant is in the old Bezalel building. There used to be a restaurant there called Anna Ticho House. The food was really delicious and the atmosphere was just as lively and...bubbly as you could imagine. Great evening out.More

Unique location, fine food and wonderful ambient. The service was both friendly and helpful, don’t come expecting huge size dishes, Mona is not about it. Prefer the bar over any table and don’t skip the cheese cake for dessert.
