Café Rimon has been feeding the people of Jerusalem for more than 60 years and has become a celebrated staple on the kosher restaurant scene throughout the city. Run by Ronen Rimon, the establishment has grown into 4 locations, including three dairy spots and one meat one. Each venue is exceptionally popular among Israelis and tourists alike, as the food is consistently fresh, flavorful, varied, largely portioned and affordably priced, while the service is friendly and efficient. The beautiful contemporary décor with options to dine indoors or out, stunning scenic views, as well as the convenience of their locations, make Café Rimon the eternal vibrant hot spot that never goes out of style.
The original Café Rimon still stands on Luntz Street in the heart of Ben Yehuda Pedestrian Mall and includes both dairy and meat restaurants nestled side by side. The Mamilla Mall spot opened in 2007 and is known for their large brunch buffets and breathtaking views of the Old City. The indoor dining area is lined with glass windows, allowing diners to feel they’re part of the bustling mall action. Café Rimon Beit Shemesh opened in 2014 and is tucked inside the center of the Big Fashion mall. The dairy locations all offer a variety of cuisine, including soups, a plethora of creative salads, pizzas, pastas and fish. They’re known for their Israeli style breakfasts and Friday all-you-can-eat brunches. Expect brunch to include omelets made to order, fresh fruit, pastries and a large assortment of cheeses.
The meat Bistro has a sophisticated atmosphere with comfortable chairs, Brazilian music and an extensive wine and beer menu. Fresh bread and a mezze platter is served upon sitting down. Some popular meat dishes include the Philadelphia Sandwich, which contains strips of entrecote and stir fried onions in BBQ sauce, served on a ciabatta roll with romaine, aioli, tomatoes and pickles with a side of fries, as well as the Mixed Grill, which is a variety of perfectly seasoned grilled meats, also served with French fries. Café Rimon is the perfect spot to celebrate with friends or to simply enjoy the ambience and people-watch.
