Lechem Basar
Jerusalem
At a glance
Lechem Basar is a kosher meat restaurant at Jerusalem’s First Station, combining a menu centred on meat with breads inspired by a range of culinary traditions. The concept brings together grilled and other meat-based dishes with freshly baked bread elements, creating a menu that connects two familiar parts of the meal rather than treating bread as a side detail. The restaurant also serves a selection of additional dishes, giving groups room to choose different styles of meal while staying within the same meat-focused kitchen.
The setting reflects the character of the First Station, where older surroundings meet newer dining and leisure spaces. Inside, the restaurant uses several seating formats rather than one uniform arrangement. Benches sit alongside tables in an eclectic mix of styles, while shared tables near the bar provide a more communal option. More intimate seating areas are also available for guests who prefer a quieter table. This range makes the space adaptable to different kinds of visits, from a family meal to an evening gathering with friends or a larger group.
Lechem Basar is certified kosher mehadrin under the supervision of Rabbi Machfoud. Its audience includes families spending time in the city as well as younger diners visiting the First Station in the evening. The atmosphere and layout are therefore designed to work across a broad range of occasions, without being limited to either casual family dining or nightlife-oriented meals.
The restaurant also caters for organised gatherings. Its event facilities can host up to 100 people, while a VIP room is available for groups of up to 30 diners. These options give the venue a practical role for celebrations, group meals and other private occasions in addition to regular restaurant service.
Located at David Remez 4 in the First Station complex, Lechem Basar is suited to diners looking for a meat-based kosher meal in a setting with varied seating and a clear bread-focused element. The combination of meat, baked breads, flexible seating areas and event facilities defines the restaurant’s style within the complex.
