Kosher Rabbinate4. Gagou de ParisIt’s easy to walk right past this unassuming bakery on King George Street in the center of town, but French-speakers in Jerusalem and those in the know head there for their fix of Parisian-style pastries.The croissants are generally fresh and amazing and the millefuille (Napoleon), eclairs and French baguettes are great too. The place has a Parisian feel, is simply decorated and offers warm and friendly service.14 King George Street
