Free-from restaurants in Jerusalem

KAZZE

Betsal'el St 7 · · €⁠€

KAZZE is a 100% gluten-free restaurant in Jerusalem, opened by a Nachlaot native whose wife is coeliac. Multiple independent sources, including a coeliac blogger, TripAdvisor reviewers, and FindMeGlutenFree community reports, confirm the entire kitchen is gluten-free, with no gluten-containing ingredients on the premises. The owner's personal stake ensures high awareness. This is a dedicated gluten-free kitchen, making it safe for coeliac diners.

Luciana

ממילא 8 · Italian · €⁠€

Luciana holds multiple kosher certifications: Mehadrin Badatz Beit Yosef and Rabbanut Yerushalayim Mehadrin for its Jerusalem location, and Modiin Rabbanut for its Modiin branch. The kitchen operates as a dairy (chalavi) establishment with separate meat and dairy practices, and the Wolt page states 'Kosher Badatz Mehadrin, Chief Rabbinate of Jerusalem'. Kosher supervision is clearly documented across several sources.

Hamarakia (המרקייה)

Jerusalem · Vegetarian · €

The restaurant's official Facebook page describes it as a vegetarian/vegan restaurant, and multiple aggregator listings confirm it is vegetarian-friendly. The kitchen is inherently vegetarian, so cross-contamination with meat is not a concern.

Mojo's

Jerusalem · · €⁠€

The venue holds OU and Rabbanut kosher certification, as stated on its official website. That certification indicates a supervised kitchen meeting kosher standards.

Ichikidana Indian cuisine

Jerusalem · Indian · €⁠€

The venue explicitly describes itself as a vegetarian restaurant on its own website, so vegetarian fit is built into the kitchen's identity. No cross-contamination concern noted for vegetarian vs meat, but dairy is extensively used. This classification only covers the vegetarian (no meat/fish) aspect.

The Eucalyptus

Felt St 14 · Middle Eastern · Mediterranean · €⁠€⁠€

The restaurant was made kosher in 1997 by the chef following his father's death, and multiple sources consistently describe it as a kosher meat establishment. This is an established practice, though current official certification from a recognised body such as the London Beth Din is not documented in these sources.

Pisgat Hafalafel

Ben Yehuda St 23-21 · · €⁠€

Pisgat Hafalafel is described as 'Certified Glat Kosher' on HappyCow and 'Kosher Mehadrin | Badatz Jerusalem Rabbinate Kosher certification' on Wolt, which indicates a high level of kosher supervision with a named certifying body (Badatz Jerusalem Rabbinate). The venue is likely reliable for kosher diners, though the certification is not an allergen-specific accreditation.

נוקטורנו בית וקפה - Nocturno

Betsal'el St 7 · · €⁠€

Vegan dishes are clearly marked on the menu with a separate vegan section. The owner is vegan, and almost every dish can be made vegan. Soy milk is available for drinks. A wide variety of vegan options includes shakshuka, shawarma, burger, pasta, and desserts.

Pizza Fiori

David Remez St 4 · Italian · €⁠€

Multiple sources describe the restaurant as Mehadrin Kosher, a kosher dairy designation associated with a high standard of kosher observance. No specific accreditation is mentioned, but the venue is widely recognized as kosher.

Mian Noodles

Shlomo ha-Melekh St 22 · · €⁠€

The official menu labels specific dishes as vegan. The 'spinach noodles with tofu' and 'Asian health' option, which includes coconut milk and peanut sauce, are explicitly marked vegan. The menu offers limited choices for vegans, as nearly all other dishes contain eggs or meat, but the options that exist are clearly identified.

Cafe Rimon

Yitzhak Kariv St 8 · · €⁠€

Multiple sources confirm the venue is Kosher Le Mehadrin (dairy) with supervision from the Rabbanut or another recognized body. However, the specific certifying body is not named and the certification may vary by branch. Confirm current hechsher directly with the café.

Tmol Shilshom

יואל משה סלומון 5 · · €⁠€

Several sources confirm that vegan items are clearly marked on the menu and multiple reviewers found suitable vegan options. The kitchen is not fully vegan (serves fish and dairy), so cross-contamination is possible. The venue menu provides markers for vegan dishes, making it reliable for diners who can tolerate a shared kitchen. Staff can confirm whether a specific dish meets vegan requirements.

Bardak Pizza Bar

Keren HaYesod St 38 · Pizza · €⁠€

Vegan options are available, including a vegan pizza with vegan cheese and a choice of four vegetable toppings. The menu lists vegan and vegetarian options, and the kitchen can make pizzas without cheese. However, the kitchen is shared with meat and dairy dishes, and no dedicated equipment or cross-contamination protocols are mentioned. Staff knowledge appears inconsistent based on reviews.

Menza

Betsal'el St 10 · · €⁠€

Menza in Budapest has a clearly marked vegan menu with knowledgeable staff, though some users report hidden animal ingredients and cross-contamination risk. Those users advise double-checking sauces and broths with staff.

Habash Ethiopian Restaurant and Bar

Mashiyah Barukhof St 5 · · €

Vegan diners are well catered for. The vegan combo plate is a staple, and the kitchen separates meat from vegetable dishes. When seated, the diner chooses the meat or veggie option. The menu is mixed, with meat dishes served as well, but staff are described as friendly and willing to explain the vegan dishes. No dedicated fryer or separate prep is reported, though for a stew-based cuisine the cross-contact risk is low. Vegans should confirm directly with staff that their platter uses no butter or honey.

Pasta Basta

Mahane Yehuda 8 · Italian · €

Multiple sources confirm the venue offers vegetarian, vegan, and fish/seafood options on a build-your-own pasta format. A pescatarian can easily select a fish-based or vegetable-based sauce and skip meat. The open kitchen and clearly marked menu (Spinach) support customisation, though a shared kitchen with meat is the only limitation; the diner must specify 'no meat' and 'add fish' when ordering.

Mimonis

Agripas St 115 · Vegetarian · €⁠€

HappyCow states that everything can be made vegan except the desserts, which contain dairy. Multiple reviewers have confirmed that most dishes are already vegan or can easily be made vegan by omitting cheese or other dairy ingredients. The menu is heavily plant-based. The kitchen is shared, and no dedicated equipment is mentioned. According to the Wolt menu, dairy-based dishes and desserts appear without allergen coding. Cross-contact risk is therefore present, but the base ingredients remain vegan-friendly.

דוויני פיתה בר Dwiny Pita Bar

Beit Ya'akov St 6 · Mediterranean · €⁠€

The venue states it is under Tzohar kosher supervision on its Wolt menu. This suggests the kitchen follows kosher dietary laws, but details on the level of supervision or dedicated equipment are not available. Diners with specific kosher requirements should call ahead.

Sarwa Street Kitchen

Salah Ad-din St 42 · · €⁠€

The owner/chef is described as vegan-aware and accommodating, and many dishes can be made vegan, including mujaddara and hummus. The kitchen is shared and there is no marked menu, but staff will adapt dishes on request.

פיצה צאקרה - Pizza by Chakra

Hillel St 39 · Pizza · €⁠€

המסעדה מציעה פיצה ללא גלוטן, ואורחים מדווחים שהיא טעימה. עם זאת, המטבח משותף, אין טיגון ייעודי, והמקום אינו מוסמך על ידי ארגון צליאק. יש לבדוק מול הצוות את הנוהל למניעת זיהום צולב.

Sea Dolphin

Shim'on Ben Shatakh St 9 · · €⁠€

Sea Dolphin does not have a gluten-free menu, but offers some gluten-free options including bread and seafood, and a knowledgeable waiter has been reported to clearly identify safe choices and separate unsafe items. However, there is no dedicated fryer, and the kitchen is shared. The venue's own website contains no allergen information. It is best to call ahead and confirm with staff.

Piccolino

Jerusalem · Italian · €⁠€

Several gluten-free options are available (pasta, pizza, risotto, steak, ice cream cake) but the kitchen is shared: gluten-free pizza is cooked in the same oven as regular pizza, chips cannot be done due to a shared fryer, and one review reported a staff member initially recommending minestrone (contains pasta) as gluten-free. A dedicated gluten-free pasta pot is used, and staff will clean surfaces or change gloves on request. The venue tags itself as having gluten-free options on TripAdvisor but no marked menu was described; one review noted an online allergen matrix. This is a best-effort setup — call ahead to discuss your needs with the shift manager.

Iwo's Meatburger

Hillel St 24 · Fast food · €⁠€

Iwo's Meatburger offers gluten-free buns and marks some items as GF on its menu, but the kitchen is shared and the FindMeGlutenFree listing warns it is not a dedicated facility. A reviewer advises asking staff to avoid using the same toaster or plate as regular burgers. Call ahead to confirm cross-contamination protocols.

Satya

Keren HaYesod St 36 · · €⁠€⁠€

Satya Chai Lounge in Auckland does not have a gluten-free menu or dedicated fryer, and the owner has publicly stated they 'can't always cater to gluten-free'. However, staff are reportedly knowledgeable about which dishes can be adapted, and the owner says they will accommodate serious dietary requirements if asked. Cross-contamination risk is real; call ahead and speak directly to the team before visiting.
