The View Cafe Bar, East Jerusalem’s only rooftop restaurant, serves up Palestinian cuisine alongside a spectacular Old City view. Go for a sundowner to welcome the evening, but stay for the worthwhile dinner. Don’t miss the creative takes on traditional Palestinian dishes, such as the mini sandwich versions of musakhan (seasoned meat served on a bed of bread, onions, oil and sumac).
