Adom

Adom is a kosher seafood-focused restaurant at 4 David Remez Street inside the First Station complex, a restored Ottoman-era train station in the German Colony area of West Jerusalem, Israel. The station once marked the end of the Jaffa to Jerusalem railway and has been converted into a leisure complex of restaurants, cafes and event spaces connected to a walking and cycling path along the old railway line. Adom's Mediterranean menu is built around fish: grilled sea bass is a signature dish, supported by a fresh seafood platter and a range of Mediterranean salads and starters. Because the restaurant is kosher, the seafood is limited to fish with fins and scales, and shellfish does not appear on the menu. The dining room is bright and casual-smart, with a terrace that is particularly pleasant on summer evenings when the complex fills with families and couples. Dress is smart casual, and the noise level is moderate, rising on busy evenings when events run at the station. Drinks centre on Israeli wines, especially white and rose that suit fish, with beer and cocktails also available. Prices are in the upper range ($$$), and the rating is around 4.2. Booking is advisable for evenings, especially on warm nights and Thursdays, while lunch is typically easier. Opening hours cover lunch and dinner daily except Friday evening and Saturday daytime, in keeping with Shabbat observance. The First Station location makes it a convenient meal after exploring the German Colony and the Railway Park, and it is an easy taxi or light-rail trip from the city centre.
