Best vegan restaurants in Jerusalem

Hamarakia (המרקייה)

Jerusalem · Vegetarian · €

The official Facebook page describes Hamarakia as a vegetarian/vegan restaurant, and community reviews on FindMeGlutenFree note it is dairy-free friendly. The kitchen is inherently vegan-friendly, though some dishes may contain dairy (e.g., shakshuka with eggs). Confirm specific dishes with staff.

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.

Pisgat Hafalafel

Ben Yehuda St 23-21 · · €⁠€

Pisgat Hafalafel is a falafel restaurant that also offers vegan egg rolls. An owner comment on HappyCow reads, 'All vegan youre very welcome.' This suggests the owner or staff are aligned with vegan eating, but there is no dedicated vegan kitchen or accreditation. The menu is falafel-based, which is inherently vegan, but cross-contamination with non-vegan items such as dairy-based sauces remains possible. Calling ahead to confirm is recommended.

The Eucalyptus

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

The restaurant is a kosher meat establishment that focuses on biblical cuisine with a heavy emphasis on native plants. Multiple sources confirm vegetarian and vegan options are available. While the menu is meat-centric, the kitchen clearly accommodates plant-based eaters as a regular part of their concept.

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.

Luciana

ממילא 8 · Italian · €⁠€

Luciana offers a dedicated vegan section on its Wolt menu and holds a 'Vegan Friendly' certification from an unspecified body. HappyCow and ModiinApp both report about 40% of the menu being vegan, with vegan cheese on pizzas. The kitchen is shared with dairy, and no description exists of cross-contamination practices for vegan-dedicated equipment. Staff training on vegan separation is unconfirmed.

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.

Pasta Basta

Mahane Yehuda 8 · Italian · €

The venue is described as vegan-friendly with a build-your-own pasta concept and a 'clearly marked' menu according to Spinach. The Wolt menu tags some items with 🌱 and a 'Vegan' category. However, the kitchen serves meat and fish alongside vegan dishes and one HappyCow review reports receiving Parmesan on a vegan Bolognese, indicating cross-contact risk. Staff have 'basic understanding' of vegan needs. Good for deliberate vegan options when communicated.

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.

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.

KAZZE

Betsal'el St 7 · · €⁠€

KAZZE offers vegan pizzas made with cashew cheese and has vegan options, but it is a dairy/vegetarian restaurant, so dairy is present. The kitchen is shared with dairy dishes, and there is no dedicated vegan equipment. Vegan diners should confirm options and cross-contamination risk with staff.
