Aluma (Hebrew for "beam") was a restaurant in the Crowne Plaza Hotel in Jerusalem, Israel.
History
In 2016, it opened inside the Crowne Plaza Hotel.[1][2] It resided where the Kohinoor Indian restaurant once stood,[3] situated on the lobby floor of the Crowne Plaza Hotel.[4] With 3 million shekels, investors converted the 200-square-metre (2,200 sq ft) space into a Kosher chef's restaurant.[1][3]
The restaurant was named "Aluma", meaning "beam" in Hebrew, after the beams that illuminated the tables.[5] It was designed by Michael Azoulay; he is known for designing restaurants and hotels in both Israel and the United States.[6] The restaurant seated 180 people, some indoors and others in an outdoor terrace, and also included a private room.[3]
The Chef was Michael Katz, a member of the Master Chefs of Belgium and a former instructor at Cordon Bleu.[1] The restaurant's menu was based on classical European cookery,[3] mixed with Israeli cuisine.[6][7] Some of the restaurant's dishes included pickled sardines, beef carpaccio, hot sabih salad, Bouillabaisse fish stew, and pastry-wrapped salmon.[8] It also had a bar that served mixed alcohol drinks.[9] The restaurant adhered to strict Kashrut standards.[1][3]
It received favorable reviews from both Ynet and The Jerusalem Post.[1][9]
