Golan Bakery

When heading North, a pit stop at Condituria Golan is a must! This Ashkenazi style bakery has a magnificent range of treats on display each morning. However, one does not make a stop solely for the sweet confections, but also for the fresh, bite-size bourekas bursting with new and interesting fillings.

Bahadones

Bahadones was not nicknamed ‘the-best-hummus-a Jewish-person-can-prepare’ for no reason! For more than 30 years, this hummus hot-spot has flourished, expanding throughout several cities in central Israel. However, as the old saying goes, nothing compares to the original!

Bourekas Bachar Ha’Agala

Bourekas Bachar Ha’Agala started its legacy as a small cart, which came to meet the seamen as they passed through the harbor. Today, the bakery has opened many branches, which continue to sell light and delicious bourekas and pastries. Fillings from potatoes, to spinach, to kashkaval are available to satisfy passerby. The bourekas are so tasty that they are generally devoured whilst standing, in good company, complimented with a side of hard-boiled eggs, pickles, and freshly grated tomato purée.

Lalo

Tzachi Sandorsi has spent his entire life striving to preserve his parent’s legacy, and to spoil the public with the flavors of an authentic Moroccan kitchen. Tzachi took this concept to the next level, and the food at Lalo is served in all it’s splendor. There is a wide variety on the menu, including spicy salads, vegetable soup, couscous, and fragrant meat stews. Not only is the food always exceptional, but the exotic atmosphere and daily hafla (a lively party with a fantastic spread) are worth making a special trip to Lalo!

Pundak Jachnun

In a magical garden in Bethlehem of Galilee, next to an ancient Templar building, a homely Yemenite restaurant was discovered. In the beginning, lioness Yelin served warm jachnun solely on Saturdays, as per Israeli tradition. The demand and success of her restaurant called for an expansion, and now Pundak Jachnun serves a full menu of authentic, Jewish, Yemen delights. From their delectable chicken soup, to the crispy, and filling jachnun, the complete menu is enhanced by Yelin’s famous schug (freshly seasoned hot sauce), the staple condiment to release the flavors of the Yemen cuisine.

Ha’Falafel Ha’Yarok

Falafel is the claim to fame for what has been called ‘The House of the Golden Ball’ for more than 30 years. Ha’Falafel Ha’Yarok is known around town, and every day, hundreds choose to spoil themselves with this impeccable falafel. Not only do patrons arrive for Margalit and Zacharia’s light, green falafel balls, but also to indulge in the accompaniments, such as fried eggplant, and pickled lemons.

Beit Ha’Ful

Since 1952, Beit Ha’Ful has become a well known name on the streets of Beer Sheva. This community hangout is run by Ya’akov Bitton, who is the second generation of founders of the restaurant. Beit Ha’Ful is a drop-in for all types of people, attracting factory workers who come for something tasty to eat during a break, amongst intellectuals, who arrive for the quality food and relaxed atmosphere. The signature dish of this authentic Egyptian kitchen is, of course, hummus with a healthy dose of extra hot and juicy ful (fava beans).

Miri’s Sandwich

Amongst the chaos of stalls lining the alleyways of the exciting Beer Sheva market, those in the know will direct you to a small Tunisian fricassée stall- Sandwich Miri. This little corner is usually inhabited by regular customers. In the midst of the commotion of the small kitchen, Miri prepares all types of stuffed vegetables and fried treats. Her famous stir fry, which keeps customers coming back day after day, is available in a fresh baguette with a side of juicy olives. Tunisian shakshuka is served straight from the pan, for the perfect lunchtime meal!
