The Modern restaurant at the Israel Museum offers contemporary, inspired and original Jerusalemite cuisine. The restaurant's design, its location inside the museum and the landscape of the valley of the Cross and the Knesset, which are seen from its windows, compose an exceptional Jerusalemite atmosphere.

The restaurant's special dishes are based on the hundred years old cuisine which has developed outside of the Old City walls. Warm flavors of longing for far away countries.
