Jerusalem
Craving a protein hit, vegan brunch or juice stop? This stylish but casual kosher restaurant on the pedestrianised mall has you covered. Healthy recipes reign, but there's room for indulgence too: date-honey smoothies, pizzas and breakfast frittatas. Superfood salads, like the salmon on glass noodles, are deceptively filling; it's just as well that the slow service allows ample recovery time.
There's another location in the First Station complex.
