Denver Restaurant, Jerusalem/Denver
When you imagine an excellent steakhouse, what comes to mind?
What is the ideal for which you will say at the end of the meal "My goodness, this is an excellent restaurant, I will definitely come back here"?
What should this restaurant have - delicious food?
Surely, special enough?
It should be so.
To be served abundantly and not stingily?
I wish
That the design and atmosphere will be such that it will also be nice to relax after the meal for a pleasant conversation with friends or family?
That would be very nice.
Denver, the meat restaurant that opened a little over a month ago on Derech Hebron in the Beit HaNaziv complex in Jerusalem, complies with all these rules.
If you like meat, this is the place for you in Jerusalem.

"We wanted to open a restaurant at a time like this. To make people happy, and for everyone to feel good"
"This is our first restaurant," says Avi Duanis, who opened Denver together with his partner Yaron Ziv, "We don't dive into the world of restaurants without experience and we have 20 years of hospitality and events at the Hadaria halls that we own, also in Jerusalem, but now we are also tickled to host people under The umbrella of a meat restaurant".
At the end of the day, he explained, "It's the same field - for the guest to be satisfied, for everything to tick and for the food to be elaborate and delicious. We wanted to open a restaurant precisely at such a time. To make people happy, and for everyone to feel good. On Thursdays, for example, there is a DJ and on Tuesdays Jazz, so that people can disconnect a little from the screens and forget about everyday troubles."
It seems that this concept, of "doing good for the heart", is a candle to the feet of the restaurant staff.
During my stay there, apart from the private rooms that were full of people (there was a Bat Mitzvah for a cute girl and a proud grandfather's 70th birthday, thank you for asking) about every 15 minutes a dessert was brought out with a large distillation and waiters and waitresses singing in honor of the groom or the happy bride.
What was beautiful was to see that every time the surrounding guests who were not connected to the event joined the celebration.
Even the most cynical person, the one who doesn't like being sung over his head every half hour, will find himself softening little by little.
how much fun
A little from there and a little from there, and here is the Chinese-Israeli food we've been waiting for

A great entrecote that will always come with a glass of house wine/Rotem Drov
The restaurant has been open for a little over a month, and while I was there it was completely full, both in those private rooms and in the restaurant space itself.
But let's talk about the food for a moment.
Before you sit down, about 15 types of salads and side dishes will already land on your table - roasted eggplants, spicy carrots, cabbage, small hummus, beet salad, as well as side dishes such as chips and even a rice dish with beans (a plate alone can satisfy anyone).
If you like abundance on the table, this is definitely the place for you.
When you enter Denver, you come across the meat aging refrigerator in which huge pieces rest and age.
The steak entrecote ajoule I tasted was cut under my hand with an ease that surprised me at first.
I mean, it's good that a steak is easily cut, but in meat the taste of the meat is also important.
Luckily for me, the taste was intense and excellent.
The steak, weighing 300 grams and priced at 238 shekels, is sold like all premium cuts (250 grams of fillet medallions, for example, at a price of 195 shekels) together with a glass of house wine of your choice, so the price is the same as in Tel Aviv, but with the wine it is an affordable deal that I wish there were more of it in restaurants the center
Intense and excellent.

"We are surprised," Duanis says, "already at the opening, and without much advertising, a large crowd started arriving. The restaurant is strictly kosher, and the small guest rooms also reward the space of the restaurant itself, which means that a larger crowd is exposed to the restaurant and returns to it as a private guest."
The private rooms, he added, were designed to provide a solution for a Jerusalem audience looking to hold private events.
"Families come here who celebrated a bar mitzvah at the Western Wall and are looking for a place to celebrate with the whole family, older couples who celebrate with their family a beautiful round number of years of marriage and many other events. If they want, they will also have a private and intimate chef here."
