At a glance
Between the Arches Restaurant occupies a historic setting on Al-Wad Street in Jerusalem’s Old City, close to the Western Wall. The restaurant is housed in an authentic structure dating to the 13th century, giving the dining room a distinctly traditional character. Stone architecture, the location within the Old City, and a focus on warm hospitality shape the experience alongside the food.
The restaurant is strictly kosher and serves a dairy and fish menu. Its cooking combines familiar dairy-style dishes with food influenced by regional aromas and traditional flavors. The menu is designed to offer variety rather than focus on a single specialty, making the restaurant suitable for different types of meals throughout the day.
Between the Arches also offers dedicated formats for organized dining, including breakfast, brunch, lunch, and evening event menus. This makes the venue relevant for a family meal after a visit to the Western Wall, a business meal, or a planned gathering. The restaurant caters to couples, families, and groups, with event arrangements available for smaller celebrations.
The setting is particularly suited to occasions connected with the Old City and the Western Wall.

Between the Arches is also associated with community-focused hospitality. The restaurant hosts meals for children visiting the Western Wall through a charitable organization and provides meals for lone soldiers taking part in ceremonies at the site. That charitable activity forms part of the restaurant’s broader identity and adds a social dimension to its role in the Old City.
