A kosher restaurant inside the Israel Museum, cooking contemporary Jerusalem food with a view of the Valley of the Cross and the Knesset.

Modern is the restaurant of the Israel Museum in Jerusalem, and its site says it serves contemporary, creative Jerusalem cooking with a personal voice. Its booking page says the dishes draw on the hundred-year-old Jerusalem cooking that grew up outside the Old City walls. Its design, its place inside the museum and the view of the Valley of the Cross and the Knesset give it, its site says, a Jerusalem atmosphere all its own. It is open for lunch from Monday to Thursday, with a business lunch, and it hosts events.
