Dining at Lechem Basar, Jerusalem: A Kosher Meat Lover's Delight at Israel’s Historic First Station
Kosher Meat Restaurant in Jerusalem, Israel ✈
During a visit to Jerusalem, Israel, I had the pleasure of dining at Lechem Basar, a renowned kosher meat restaurant located at The First Station, or "Tachana Rishona" in Hebrew. I’ve also been to their branch at the Tel Aviv Port, which was a different yet also satisfying experience.
Located in the heart of The First Station, Lechem Basar's Jerusalem branch offers a delightful blend of historical charm and modern dining. The First Station, a repurposed train station, provides a unique backdrop, combining the old-world architecture with contemporary touches.
