Jerusalem Bar and Restaurant is a quiet haven for those who wish to spend a few hours relaxing and chatting with friends. Done up in polished wood and warm hues, it sticks to the basics and evokes a feeling of friendliness and warmth, almost like a country pub. The atmosphere is informal and inviting at the same time. Not surprisingly, it is very popular with young people as well as those with a creative streak.

Situated across Oxford Street and on the fringes of Soho and the burgeoning area sometimes referred to as 'Noho', this restaurant offers simple, wholesome food with starters like Jerusalem crab cakes and skewered lime prawns. Ideal for groups of people, they have the sharing and mezze platters with an assortment of breaded king prawns, chicken satay, vegetable tempura, calamari strips and prawn crackers and the like. You could also choose from their selection of pasta and salads.

For mains you could try the lamb or halloumi kebab, the pie of the day, pan fried duck breast or battered cod fillet. There are interesting sides made from mozzarella, avocados, tomatoes or spinach. On offer is an impressive array of wines, beers, house spirits and champagne to suit every mood. The dessert list is not long but is impressive with favourites such as chocolate fudge cake and Eton mess. For the health and calorie conscious, they even have an organic low fat carrot cake.

Jerusalem has a seating capacity of two hundred and can be hired for private functions.
