The food is great, especially the pastries. Love the atmosphere. Not cheap, but not too expensive either. The service is often on the slow side, as the place is crowded, but if you're not in a hurry it's the place for a great meal any time of the day. Dairy (kosher), closed on Shabbas.

This is an unpretentious restaurant (originally a pastry shop, turned full service restaurant) that offers interesting and delicious meals. We dined here twice in one night. We arrived for an early-ish dinner of soup, salad and entree (all shared by two people). Each was imaginative, well made, very good tasting and served by friendly and knowledgeable staff efficiently.

First Impressions: If I only learned one lesson from my travel mentor, it is this: "When you come to a new place, seek the eateries that the locals frequent. Follow them and eat where (and what) they eat." There are still a few iconic cafes in Jerusalem and I understand that Café Kadosh stands as a Jerusalem institution in itself.... More

After leaving Black Burger, I wanted a cup of coffee. When I asked the waitress for the direction to Aromas, she cringed and recommended that I try a place called Kadosh instead. I didn't notice it as the sign was most likely in Hebrew, but I passed a "fancy" place with a BIG Israeli flag in front with sidewalk tables... More

Likes: fresh gorgeous food. Brilliant varied menu. Great range of booze. Wonderful cakes and lovely staff. Dislikes: when reserving a table they will ask you to spend a minimum of fifty shekels. Seems a bit cheap, but having said that, the place is so popular that to save you a seat, they are literally turning away other punters. Also, the... More

Kadosh is a small cafe - the first night we ate there, we both had meal of Sea Bream (see image below). It was so good, and SO reasonably priced, that we returned the next night. Each meal was excellent. The staff was exceptionally friendly and helpful. One night we ordered fish-kabobs - expecting the American-style "kabob", but instead of... More

A bit overcrowded, but other than that the food is excellent, the price reasonable, and the atmosphere brilliant.

Kadosh is easily located on a side street off Jaffa Street. It is a small cafe that serves breakfast all day, soups, salads, pasta and deserts. It has a friendly, cozy atmosphere and can get crowded during busy times. The service is prompt and the servings are large for salads but just average for other entrees. Overall the food was... More

I live in Jerusalem and have patronized Kadosh Cafe for years, more recently because it's across from the Ministry of Interior which I often have to visit for work. In former times the Cafe was very basic - but they served a great "Cafe Hafooch" (Capuccino) and the best cheese burekas in Jerusalem. Since they remodeled several years ago I've... More
