Eastward lie the walls of the old city.  To the west, the
lively nightlife of central Jerusalem.  Gabriel is a restaurant
seeking the perfect balance between authenticity and modernity.  Gabriel serves kosher gourmet cuisine in a French fusion style bringing you the very best of authentic cuisine with touches of a modern contemporary kitchen.

Opened in 2005, Gabriel is named after the angel Gabriel, meaning, “God is my strength.” The modern yet classy restaurant is owned by Zohar Cohen and is somewhat hidden between Shlomtzion Hamalka and Rivlin Street. Yet, it is well worth making sure you find it. The restaurant combines graceful service, palatable portions and a magical atmosphere.

 A beautiful outdoor dining area with cute umbrellas to block the Jerusalem sun, is the first of several nice touches you will see. The restaurant maintains the Jerusalem white stone seen through the old city. Gabriel’s first floor is magnificent with nicely set tables and comfortable black leather chairs. The upstairs dining room is used for both in-house dining and for private events such as parties of up to 25 people. As you can see, the restaurant has a fully stocked liquor and wine bar, taking any event to the next level. They offer special cocktails and wines from Israel, the United States, France and Italy.

During the day, Gabriel offers business lunches with a rich array of dishes. In the evening, the menu changes with the best gastronimical French offerings. Recommendations include the Beef Wellington, steak filet with foie gras wrapped in a thin layer of dough with mushrooms and the Chateaubriand with a choice of white wine, dijon mustard or pepper sauce. Vegetarian dishes are available as well.  Desserts are homemade, with the halva parfait a favorite (see recipe page). When you’re looking to combine first class cuisine, elegant atmosphere and polite service, you’ll find that Gabriel has it all.
