Notre Dame Bistro

Notre Dame Bistro is a casual restaurant at the Notre Dame of Jerusalem Center, positioned near the Old City walls. Its menu combines Mediterranean cooking with international classics, creating a familiar and flexible choice for lunch, dinner, drinks or dessert. Fresh ingredients and full, approachable flavours shape the food, while the relaxed setting suits families, friends and informal gatherings.

The restaurant is arranged across three connected spaces. The main bistro offers casual dining with room for a substantial meal, a relaxed drink or something sweet after dinner. The lounge provides a quieter, more intimate setting, with classic details and a fireplace that adds warmth during cooler evenings. In warmer weather, the garden offers outdoor seating in a green and peaceful corner close to the historic centre.

Drinks are an important part of the experience, with cocktails, wines and spirits available alongside the food. The choice of settings makes the bistro suitable for different kinds of visits, from a family meal and a catch-up with friends to a small celebration or an unhurried evening drink. The layout also supports gatherings that need a little more space without becoming formal.

Notre Dame Bistro offers vegan and gluten-free choices, helping accommodate different dietary needs. The kitchen is not kosher, an important consideration for diners planning a meal in Jerusalem. The atmosphere remains welcoming and informal across the dining room, lounge and garden, with the outdoor area providing a seasonal alternative to the indoor spaces.

Located on the ground level, the bistro is easy to combine with a visit to the surrounding Old City area. It provides a convenient setting for diners seeking Mediterranean and international food in a casual environment, with options to linger over a drink, settle beside the fireplace or dine outdoors when the weather allows.
