Is this your business?Claim it freeA Mediterranean kitchen and wine place on the Bezalel Street pedestrian mall in central Jerusalem, open every day including Saturday.
Menza has been on Bezalel Street for 12 years, its site says, cooking food made on the spot each day, pouring wine and keeping its door open every day, Saturday included. Chef Dan Porat runs the kitchen, and everything from the sauces to the burger and the sausages is made in house. Its tables outside stand on the pedestrian street facing the Schatz House museum and the Bezalel architecture school. Its site says you can stop in for a glass of wine and focaccia on the way home or sit down to a full meal, and that Friday and Saturday fill up fast.
