Mahane Yehuda Market is the beating heart of Jerusalem’s culinary scene. It’s the largest market in the city with over 250 stalls – it sells not only food and drink but also clothing, beautiful homewares and trinkets – but without doubt the highlight is the delicious treats you can find tucked away in this labyrinth. Any foodie in Jerusalem absolutely needs to spend at least a few hours here, winding your way through the lanes and trying local delicacies along the way.
We feel the best way to see the market is with a local, and on a guided visit of Mahane Yehuda you’ll not only be shown all the very best these vendors have to offer, but also meet and speak with the business owners themselves, learn all about the culture of food in Jerusalem, and about Israeli food as a whole.
