Creative fusion of European and Asian styles vegetarian and vegan dishes; non-smoking. Restaurant with an intimate atmosphere and surrounded by a charming garden. Sit next to the windows for an impressive view of Jerusalem's Old City walls. Kosher. Call restaurant from gated entrance to free parking lot (a block or so after paid public lot) and they will open the gate for you. Reported closed May 2020.

Overpaid egregiously for apparent leftovers - Edit
Three different types of coleslaw and some watery ratatouille served with undercooked barley for a king's ransom as main course.
Read moreA humiliating experience for the family.
Owner is dishonest.
Place is filthy.
When in Jerusalem, stay far away from this place.
Beware of this trap.
Cons: Food not fresh, Overpriced, Dishonest proprietor

Very good - Edit
My husband and I came here for a vegetarian/vegan lunch. Food was very good. Maybe it’s because the owner is a French transplant.
Read moreOn the menu are even a lot of vegan options. We were served in a quick, very nice way!
PS we have had some problems to find this place by google maps. It’s located in the Confederation house.
Pros: Viele vegane Optionen , Netter, schneller Service

Glad to have tried - Edit
Ordered the seaweed mushroom pie and grilled tofu with bulgur wheat for dinner. Vegan options were clearly labeled. Food was healthy and pretty good albeit a little basic and plain. Those who like simple flavors will probably like it more. Staff was friendly. Sit by the windows for an open view toward the old city. The restaurant's environs are lovely as well. This is a 3.5 for me rounded up to a 4.

Nice outdoor seating (there was a function being held inside so not sure about indoors). The waitress was wonderful and the food was really nice.

Gorgeous Location - Edit
Lovely place with a mostly vegetarian menu having the vegan items marked. Some vegan items are the "without cheese or egg" type. I tried the steamed vegetables which came with brown rice, but not the wild rice mentioned on the menu, also it came with techina instead of the mentioned olive oil and lemon dressing. It was a delicious and satisfying dish though. The vegan gazpacho, a soup on special for the season, was well seasoned and a generous portion. We were disappointed that there was only one vegan dessert, a baked apple. It must be said that the place itself is extraordinary in design and charming location, with a jaw-dropping view of the Old City walls and well worth coming to if you are in Jerusalem.
Read morePros: Free parking (call restaurant at gate), Amazing view and location
Cons: Only one vegan dessert

Ottima cucina, luogo stupendo e fantastico accoglienza - Edit
La cucina di questo ristorante potrebbe essere definita vegan-greek in quanto è una fusione di sapori e profumi del mediterraneo greco con la tradizione vegetariana e vegana. Nascosto in un centro ebraico è accogliente ed offre una vista stupenda sulla città vecchia. La carta dei vini è limitata ma ottimamente scelta. Il valore è consono con la qualità offerta.
Read morePros: luogo speciale , qualità ed abbondanza delle portate, simpatia del personale
Cons: difficile da trovare , non economico ma adeguato

The Best Vegetarian Restaurant in Jerusalem!! - Edit
As long-time Jerusalemites, and long-time vegetarians,Te'enim is our favourite restaurant! Every portion is done with great quality, care and flair; the food is very flavourful, yet never over-seasoned; There is originality and creativity in many of the portions, and after very many visits to Te'enim, we can truthfully say that the quality control is superb: we have never had a bad meal, and always had an outstanding one. On our latest visit, we had a delicious, highly original gazpacho soup, and then an excellent spinach kiche, and a generous portion of mixed vegetables and kinoa. The specials change with the seasons. The incredible view of the Old City from the restaurant is an added benefit. Cynthia and Ilan Rubin
