Gabriela for dairy - rabunut mehadren

Gabrial for meat - eivada yosef

Gabriel is Rabbanut Yerushalayim last I checked and definitely one of the top meat restaurants in Israel

My faves are:

Meat:
Gabrielle
Papagio
Keyara
Sheyan
Halo Teiman/Masov Shwarma

(fave meat outside Jeru is Pagoda! total awesomeness. my fave chinese in the world)

Dariy:
Rimon (friday all you can eat is 50 shek and awesome!)
Pizza Hutt (There's even one in airport before you enter gate area for a last slice)
Big Apple
Lucianna
Gush Winery (good food, slow service)
