About the area

The restaurant is situated on David Remez Street within the First Station, known locally as "HaTachana HaRishona." This site was once the terminus of the Jaffa–Jerusalem railway and has since been restored into a lively pedestrian plaza.

Several well-known synagogues are located within walking distance, including the Ramban Synagogue and various communal centers throughout the German Colony and Talbiya. The site is a frequent stop for visitors walking toward the Western Wall or the Old City from the southern hotels.

Transportation to the area is convenient, with several major bus routes stopping along Derech Hevron and David Remez Street. The location is also adjacent to the Jerusalem Railway Park (Mesila Park), a popular walking and cycling path that follows the old train tracks, providing a scenic route for those arriving on foot from South Jerusalem neighborhoods like Katamon.
