I cannot adequately describe in words how wonderful our dinner was last night at Eucalyptus. I went with a friend and we ordered the tasting menu. Every single item was delicious. Everything. Fish, meat, veggies and dessert were all delicious and creatively presented. The chef, Moshe Baron, came to visit us a few times and allowed us to sample the fresh herbs from his garden, too. I am definitely planning to go back for special occasions. Tasting menu ranges from mid-200 NIS to mid-350 NIS per person. We were each completely satiated and the staff was receptive to requests even on the tasting menu.

We went for a nice dinner across the park from our hotel with little idea of what to expect. We found excellent lemonana, astoundingly good service and ravishing food. We started with the spreads which were fabulous, familiar flavors in new ways. We were brought a baked artichoke, on the house, and it was among the best things we've ever eaten. Love, love, loved it. Entrees were incredible. All veggies tasted like they were just picked from the vine.

We really enjoyed this hidden, little gem and will definitely be returning next time we are in Israel!

We had an excellent dinner with innovative dishes mixing Middle Eastern with Israeli food. Charming service in a little alleyway just under the walls of the city. Very creative cuisine from chef Moshe Basson.

The outdoor meal was really great. The chief came outside to greet our group and to describe his motivation for the food. Great wine, meats, fish, vegetables, soups, desserts served in kosher eatery. Would recommend to friends and family for a special treat.

We went based on excellent reviews and were not disappointed. We had the tasting menu and really enjoyed the combination of sweet and savory, all very well presented. Towards the end of the meal we had a nice chat with the chef, Moshe Basson, a very sweet and enthusiastic man. Only downside was cocktails not being super.
