Eating Out:
 

Nocturno - Coffee House and Home

 

Nocturno is a luxurious, mega-chic coffee shop and bar which has operated in Nachlaot for the past seventeen years and recently moved to its new home at the Designers in the City compound (but retained the same address). Concept: Everything about Nocturno is unique: the place, the people, and the design. The café operates all day long serving aromatic café and a variety of dairy and vegan dishes, all made from the freshest, highest quality ingredients, and all prepared before your eyes. As evening falls, the cafe transforms into a dynamic pub, offering live musical acts, art, beer from the keg and good alcohol. The unique design, the family atmosphere and the great food raised Nocturno's status to that of ultimate hangout for Jerusalem residents in general, students and lectures staff at Bezalel and the city's other art schools, writers and journalists and Nachlaot and city center residents and frequenters alongside business people, public sector workers, and tourists looking for a unique experience.
