A perfect tasting tour of the Mahane Yehuda Market and Nahlaot

The aromas, flavors, merchants’ calls, incredible Jerusalem atmosphere, and eclectic human diversity capture the essence of Israel. The Mahane Yehuda Market is the beating heart of Israeli society—the undisputed consensus. Everyone, absolutely everyone, loves Mahane Yehuda.

Our tasting tour of Mahane Yehuda will take you on a delightful culinary journey, moving between legendary places that still prepare handmade stuffed vine leaves, incredible homemade kubbeh, and pot dishes cooked on wick stoves; young and audacious breweries located in the heart of the market; excellent delicatessens bringing rare products from around the world; and stalls that have reinvented “street food.”

Among the tastings we like to include on the tour: a tasting of irresistible, legendary jachnun; an amazing Georgian pastry; Israeli craft beer; a shot of freshly squeezed juice at Uzi-Eli; a popular indulgent bourekas; stuffed vine leaves; crispy fried kubbeh; and more. Everything is subject to availability and the market’s stock.

Each group is limited to 20 participants בלבד, and the tastings are served as individual portions to each participant.
