Description: Must book in advance! Atalya Ein Mor was born and raised in the picturesque village of Ein Kerem. Following her work in renowned restaurants and years of preparing food from a simple need to create, she decided to combine exquisite food, breathtaking views and a unique atmosphere in her beautiful home in Ein Kerem, opposite the Judean hills. Today she hosts tourist and Israelis for ellite meals, cooking and baking workshops and culinary tours. Must book in advance.

Atalya is an incredible chef and a wonderful host. The breads were as good as we had anywhere in Israel (and they were great all over!). Each small starter was better than the last. The entrees were both delicious (extraordinary chicken tagine). Even the dessert was to die for. Even the small selection of Israeli wines was a home run. I can't recommend this Atalya highly enough--ten stars!!

Atalya is a unique and very busy person, despite her young age. Every Friday morning she serves brunch to a handful of people in the beautiful stone house she was born in. The view is breathtaking, the atmosphere is homey, and the food is amazing, all made from local fresh ingredients. But the best part is the host herself: vibrant, energetic, full of stories about the village and the food, running between the kitchen and the dining room. We had a great time ! She's booked months in advance but it's well worth the wait ... Don't miss it!

This was my second time dining with Atalya. As an American resident in Jerusalem, I regularly host visiting family and friends on tours of the Holy Land. I reserve Atalya only for those who will most appreciate the lavish, meticulously-prepared, locally-sourced meals! It is highlight of any trip. Let Atalya take you on a culinary journey. She is a warm, generous hostess who cooks with incredible passion. She would be a perfect fit on "Chef's Table." Make reservations well in advance for her private dinners and prepare yourself for a very memorable evening!

What a wonderful experience we had a Atalya’s home. She is an amazing chef and the passion for what she does is in every bite of her delicious creations. The brunch was out of this world; so many different local dishes, and every single one of them was memorable. It really is something you must experience when in Jerusalem. Make sure to make reservations well in advance not to miss it!!
