Open skies over Jerusalem: The Waldorf Astoria Terrace is now open

Jerusalem now boasts a new and luxurious entertainment venue that’s already open to the public: The Terrace – the upgraded summer bar at the Waldorf Astoria Jerusalem. Located on the fourth floor and overlooking the city's urban landscape, the venue is the result of meticulous investment and attention to the smallest details.

The terrace has been designed as a Mediterranean garden, featuring local olive trees, flowers and planters, a stylish deck, and unique lighting. It was built to offer guests a multi-sensory experience in an elegant atmosphere under the Jerusalem sky.

The bar operates Sunday through Thursday from 6:30 PM to 11:00 PM, with the kitchen open until 10:30 PM. It is open to both hotel guests and the general public, with reservations required in advance.

The upgraded menu, curated by hotel chef Itzik Mizrachi Barak, includes a variety of new Mediterranean dishes made with fresh, high-quality local ingredients. Prices range from NIS 45 to NIS 95.

Highlighted dishes include: grilled sea bream fillet (NIS 65), 120g minute-cut entrecôte steak (NIS 95), and for vegetarians and vegans – pumpkin steak in barbecue sauce (NIS 65) and a vegetarian bao bun filled with tofu (NIS 65).

Meat dishes include tandoori chicken skewer (NIS 75), Adana kebab with roasted vegetables (NIS 75), and slow-cooked lamb asado (NIS 95). The dessert menu features an exotic pineapple cake, pistachio pie, and chocolate fudge (each NIS 55).

The menu also offers original seasonal cocktails specially crafted by the hotel’s team of mixologists. The standout is Jerusalem of Gold – the signature cocktail of the Waldorf Astoria Jerusalem, created to take tasters on a sensory journey through the eternal city.

Other cocktails include A Decade of Luxury – a limited-edition hotel whiskey (NIS 125), “Mediterranean Gin and Tonic” (NIS 75), and Flower of the Holy City – Arak Noach with chamomile flower syrup (NIS 65).

For those who prefer alcohol-free options, there are special mocktails like Pine-a-Not-Colada and Passionfruit Mojito (NIS 55). For cigar lovers, there’s also a luxurious cigar menu.

Waldorf Astoria General Manager Avner On states: “We are thrilled to open the summer season with The Terrace – our elegant and unique summer bar that reflects the high standards and uncompromising quality of the brand.”
