Palomino - פלומינו

Palomino is an Italian lounge on King George Street in Jerusalem, combining classic Italian cooking with Mediterranean flavors associated with Israeli and Jerusalem cuisine. The menu is built around familiar Italian foundations alongside contemporary interpretations, with attention to the ingredients and to the balance between tradition and newer ideas.

The restaurant’s format includes original sharing dishes, making it suitable for a meal that moves between several plates rather than focusing on a single course. The food is paired with a selection of wines and distinctive cocktails, giving Palomino a dining style that sits between a restaurant and an evening lounge. The atmosphere is described as personal, intimate and attentive, with a setting that works for relaxed dinners, drinks and social gatherings.

Evening service includes an aperitivo period and a later-night offering, while Fridays bring a brunch buffet served during the daytime. This gives the restaurant a different rhythm on Friday, with a more casual format than the regular evening menu. The combination of Italian and Mediterranean influences also makes the menu suitable for diners looking for something beyond strictly traditional Italian food.

Palomino is certified kosher under the Jerusalem Rabbinate. Its menu, wine list and cocktail selection make it appropriate for couples, friends and small groups looking for a dinner with shared plates and drinks. The venue also accommodates private and business events for groups of up to 100 people, including celebrations, launches and meetings. Event service is presented as personal and intimate while remaining suitable for larger gatherings.

The restaurant is located at 41 King George Street, with paid parking available at the Ma'alot car park opposite the venue. Customers can also use the Heichal Shlomo car park at King George 58, where parking is available without charge for restaurant customers during the stated evening and Friday periods after the ticket is validated at the restaurant. Palomino combines a contemporary lounge setting with Italian-Mediterranean food, wine, cocktails and a flexible format for dining or events.
