O2 מטבח ירושלמי עכשווי

O2 is a kosher contemporary Jerusalem restaurant located inside Inbal Hotel at 3 Ze’ev Jabotinsky Street, beside Bell Garden Park. The restaurant sits between the German Colony and Talbiya, placing it in a central hotel setting with a clear connection to the city’s neighbourhoods and culinary traditions.

The menu interprets local food through a modern chef-led approach. Its cooking draws on Jerusalem’s many communities and food cultures, bringing together influences from the city’s eastern traditions, Jewish cuisines from different backgrounds, and contemporary restaurant techniques. The style moves between composed chef dishes and more informal street-food inspiration, while keeping local produce and regional character at the centre.

The menu changes with the seasons and is built around ingredients available in the market at different times of year. The broader format includes grilled dishes, steaks, fish and desserts, with the exact selection changing as the produce changes. O2 also offers a drinks programme based entirely on Israeli production. The wine list gives particular attention to wineries from the Judean Hills alongside wines from other parts of Israel, while the bar includes locally made gin, vermouth, whisky, arak, rum, vodka and schnapps.

The restaurant is suited to an evening meal, a planned Friday night dinner or a private gathering. Friday dinner follows a festive kosher format with wine for Kiddush, challah, starters, a choice of main course and desserts, and advance booking is required. Private events can be arranged for families, companies and other groups, with the restaurant offering different spaces according to the size and character of the occasion. Larger daytime events can use the full restaurant for groups of approximately 30 to 60 people, while evening events can be hosted in a partially enclosed area for up to 18 guests or in a private room for smaller gatherings.

With its seasonal local menu, Israeli drinks list and setting within Inbal Hotel, O2 offers a structured restaurant experience shaped by Jerusalem’s mixed culinary identity. It works for diners looking for kosher contemporary cooking, for groups planning a private meal and for visitors seeking a restaurant connected to the city’s local food culture.
