Restaurant Fish

Top choice in East Jerusalem


With uniformed waitstaff and white tablecloths, the Restaurant Fish is refined for a bus-station-adjacent spot. Tasty calamari and shrimp (fried, grilled or with tabasco sauce), crabs, mussels are options for starters, and delicious fresh whole snapper, sea bass, salmon and mullet come prepared in a variety of ways. Rib-eye and lamb chops are also on the menu. There's outdoor seating on a pleasant covered patio.
