OpenRestaurants Festival Returns to Jerusalem for Third Year

The urban culinary festival OpenRestaurants is returning to Jerusalem for the third year, beginning Tuesday until November 17.

One hundred events will showcase the aromas, sounds, and tastes of the city with the participation of cultural institutions, celebrity chefs, ingredient manufacturers, and of course some of Jerusalem’s most popular restaurants and eateries.

Chef Assaf Granit will host a tribute to 70 years of Israeli fashion and cuisine at the Israel Museum. There’ll be wine tasting and tapas at the Mamilla Hotel.

At the Yudal’e restaurant, chef Assaf Seri will host MasterChef winner Nof Atamna-Ismaeel. The “eclair king and queen” from Kadosh Café will concoct confections ranging from chocolate tuna cans to fish-shaped petit fours at the Israel Aquarium.

Chef Nadav Melin, in collaboration with the Slow Food movement, will present “Disco-Shuk” – a food, music, and love celebration – at Abraham Hostel. There will be a culinary project of ultra-Orthodox women, a vegan food and musical celebration at Nocturno bar-restaurant-café, and an Italian cooking demo by Father Severino and Italian chef Silvio Buttega from the Church of Saint John the Baptist.

New this year is a special offer from City Pass and the BiteMojo app enabling visitors to purchase a tasting pack at eateries and artisan food stands around the city’s light-rail stations, from the Damascus Gate station to Machane Yehuda Market, with free rides along the way.
