Ascencion Restaurant & Coffeshop — Restaurant in Jerusalem

The ONLY upscale, tidy, professional & exceptional cafê on the Mount of Olives with the best gourmet caramel or white chocolate lattes & cappuccinos!

Also, everyone from all over the world say it's the best shawarma they ever ate! Many groups come here and just today, they expanded the restaurant to both sides of the street! It's right beside the Ascension Rock Jesus ascended from, so it's perfect location, and for these reasons, they do phenomenal business, and it's quick, efficient service!

Highly hospitable, super clean & professional! A gorgeous little café! It was my go-to place as there's nothing else like it on the Mount of Olives!...

This was one of the best Shawarmas I had so far. The food is amazing, the vegetables are fresh, the sauces are incredible and they even added extra grilled vegetables and hummus as a side. They have a huge terrace with great views, the waiter was so kind, even without asking he carried all my food upstairs to the terrace, made sure I was comfortable and even came a couple of times to ask whether I needed anything. I never experienced such a nice waiter in a take away restaurant! And then combine that with amazing food and great views. I can highly recommend...

It was a pleasure to be here! We’ve been to Jerusalem for a day trip and we’re walking up the hill for 30minutes from the old city center. It was totally worth it! Joe was such a nice guy and he did everything to make our stay in the restaurant as good as possible. We had the Greek salad and the lamb chops with vegetables. He gave us some falafel and two dates as a dessert for free. The prices are fair, because the quality of the vegetables and the meat was perfect. The view was amazing too, I would really recommend to get up...
