Museum café
Jews eat kosher. Put simply, that means you don't mix dairy and meat products, and some animals you don't eat at all. Only animals with split hooves that also chew the cud. Basically, that's cows, sheep and goats. And no pork. Chicken is definitely okay though. As are fish with scales, like salmon and mackeral. But not shellfish, so no oysters, lobster or prawns.
Come and enjoy the delicious Jewish delicacies at our museum café in the Jewish Museum and the National Holocaust Museum. Have you ever tried pear kugel?
