כל כך ציפינו לאכול במונא. בשבילנו להגיע לירושלים זה מיוחד, ובאמת היה ערב מיוחד כי חגגנו אירוע חשוב.מונא לא עמדה בציפיות. השירות היה לא טוב, האוכל היה לא מוקפד ואפילו מאכזב. כל השולחנות סביבנו ביקשו מלח או אי אלו תוספות למנות שהיו בהן חוזרים כאלו או אחרים. גם אנחנו. היה כאוס מוחלט בין המלצרים והאחמשים וכנראה גם במטבח. ערב לא מוצלח במונא למרות שאני בטוחה שכנראה היתה בעיה ספציפית באותו הערב. סומכת על מושיקו גמליאלי שהוא יודע מה הוא עושה. אחרי שיחה עם המסעדה שהתקשרה לשאול איך היה, קיבלנו שובר של 300 של במתנה כדי לבוא לחוויה מתקנת. מקסים ומדהים מצדם. היו ככ קשובים להערות שלי. מקווה שתהיה סיבה מספיק טובה לחזור לירושלים ולחזור למונא.

An excellent restaurant with great, high-quality and above all, delicious food, set in a magical and warm atmosphere on a cool Jerusalem evening. The service was outstanding, attentive without being pushy or artificial. We sat at the bar and received amazing treatment along with spot-on recommendations. The restaurant itself was very clean, even the restrooms.
We truly enjoyed every moment of being there. The prices were reasonable, we were sure that the high quality would come with a high cost, but found the pricing to be very fair even after leaving a generous tip as a token of our gratitude and appreciation.
Highly recommended restaurant. We will definitely be back for more visits.

A wonderful restaurant!
All dishes were delicious, the service was attentive and kind.
The 7 and 3 year old kids enjoyed too between the well made kids dish and tastings from ours.
Looking forward to be back!

Amazing restaurant! great food, great and nice service and a beautifuly designed place. Our company was combined of meat eaters, fish eaters and vegeterians and we all had a lot to eat. The only tiny downside was that its a bit loud - if you are a big group (like we were) i would recomand to sit in a square and not a long table.

We had a fantastic dinner sharing the tasting menu, a cocktail and a bottle of wine all for less than 500 ILS each. The food is delicious and the tasting menu incredible value. The staff were welcoming, friendly and great fun. Would highly recommend (and get a seat at the bar if it’s only two of you).

We booked a pre-set menu for a family meal. As soon as we sat down, the dishes started arriving, and the food was excellent and pleasantly surprising.
The staff were attentive, clearing plates and replacing cutlery regularly, and checking in before bringing out the next courses.
It would have been even nicer if the place were a bit less noisy, but other than that — it was perfect!
