As a visitor to Israel, it can be a little bit overwhelming keeping track of the different restaurants opening and closing, even more so when you are searching for a restaurant with a Succah.  Here are my suggestions for kosher restaurants around Israel where you can find a good meal in a nice Succah. There are definitely more choices in Jerusalem, but there are also some great options in other cities.

go to site JERUSALEM & JUDEAN HILLS

go site Mamilla Mall is always incredibly busy during Succot with people visiting the kotel, but all the cafes and restaurants have a Succah, so there is plenty of choice. Most of the options have a pretty average offering of both food and service, but http://bestone.com.au/?p=504 Luciana and go site Happy Fish both have a very large Succah.

For the ultimate “Jerusalem” setting,  http://bandarjudibola.org/?protis=avis-site-rencontre-oulfa&84d=c6 Rooftop Restaurant,  http://avpsolutions.com/blog/samsung-moves-into-payments-hackers-never-sleep/ Mamilla Hotel is a great Succah experience, with delicious food and an incredible view – source url full review here.

opzioni digitali indicatore La Regence  For those looking for truly creative kosher dining, the tasting menu at  zürich flirten La Regence is a unique experience.  As you would expect from The King David Hotel, the service is efficient and attentive. The restaurant will have its own Succah – full review here.

Kikar Hamusica is the perfect choice over Succot as they have one large Succah in the middle of the square, used by all the restaurants, with musical performances taking place from lunchtime until the evening. All the details of the various concerts are on their website. My personal recommendation would be Kinor Bakikar for a juicy steak and Gourmandises by Yoel for authentic French dairy food – full review here.

Anna Italian Café in Ticho House is a delicious Italian restaurant in a beautiful setting – my favorite dairy restaurant in Jerusalem.  Anna will have a Succah on their front balcony overlooking the garden. – click here for a full review.

Harvey’s Smokehouse opened earlier in the year in place of Gabriel, by the same owner, Harvey Sandler.  The US style smokehouse signature dishes include popcorn chicken, Kansas style burnt ends and cherry wood smoked asado. It has the advantage of being on a pedestrian street so the Succah is spacious, comfortable and beautifully decorated.

Angelica also has a wonderful courtyard for the Succah and the restaurant itself has a lovely varied menu and great service.

The 1868 restaurants will all have a Succah. 1868 offers a creative, high-end dinner (full review here), while Zuta Cocktail Bar has an incredible drinks menu with a delicious bar menu (full review here). The newest member of the family, JLM Local Sushi serves a number of Asian cooked dishes, as well as sushi and sake (full review here).

Valero is a relatively new kosher restaurant in the shuk area and the menu is curated by Chef Aviv Moshe. In general it seems to be more popular with Israelis than tourists but they do have some interesting dishes on the menu and will have a Succah outside the restaurant.

Most of the hotels in Jerusalem have a spacious Succah and are also open to outside guests, including Orient Jerusalem, Inbal, Mamilla Hotel and David Citadel.

If you feel like venturing outside the city, Muza Bahar in Shoresh is a wonderful location with incredible views and I personally love the food – full review here.

TEL AVIV

Despite being on a rooftop, Blue Sky by Meir Adoni in the Carlton Tel Aviv Hotel will not have a Succah, but there will be a Succah on the hotel terrace by the beach, with food from Lumina by Meir Adoni and Esperanto Bar, which has a dairy Greek style mezze and bar menu, will also have a Succah overlooking the sea.

Malka is Chef Eyal Shani’s first kosher restaurant in Israel.  The menu is creative and with some delicious combinations. It is not for everyone but definitely worth trying if you are looking for a unique kosher experience. They have a large outside area which will include a Succah.

Meat Kitchen is a large restaurant in a business area of Tel Aviv but the Succah will only have space for six tables, so book as soon as you can. There is a large meat-aging fridge at the back of the restaurant but the menu also includes many chicken, fish and vegetarian options. The overall quality of the ingredients, interesting flavors combinations and efficient service, make it a great kosher option in Tel Aviv

Mapu by Nir Zook in the Prima City Hotel will have a large Succah on the terrace outside the restaurant.

NORTH

Al Hamayim on Sharon Beach in Herzliya Pituach recently became kosher and will have a Succah.  The menu includes a variety of dairy and fish dishes, along with an extensive sushi selection.

Souvlaki in Netanya is one of the only kosher restaurants on the beach. As well as meat dishes, the menu includes traditional Greek dairy dishes, using parev versions of feta and yogurt. The restaurant will have a large Succah with space for 50 people.

Meat fans will be delighted to know that Gillis Steak House on Moshav Nov in the Golan will be open over Succot. They will be open for 2 hours sittings over chol hamoed at 2, 4, 6 & 8pm and 12-3pm on Friday – full review here.

Beit Haugot (Mehadrin) is an incredible dairy café in the garden of a house near the Hula Valley Nature Reserve. The service is warm and friendly and the food is fresh and tasty.  It is only open during the day so be sure to call and book – full review here.

SOUTH

5th Avenue is a newly kosher restaurant in Eilat, with a creative menu and fun ambiance. The restaurant will feature a Succah in the courtyard – full review here.

I hope this has given you some ideas of where to eat over Succot in Israel. In order to write this before Succot starts, I am basing some of the information on my experience in previous years or information I have received from the restaurants themselves.

Every household has certain traditions that are theirs. They are the routines that the family is used to. For certain holidays sometimes those traditions are passed down from generation to generation. For breaking fast the Guru house has their traditions just like most other homes. We make the usual bagels, lox, and cream cheese. Ok, you got me, we buy these items probably because it’s easy to serve, set up, and clear but as time goes on we started adding to these staples. One addition that we make is a blintz soufflé. I love cheese blintzes and can make them no problem but they are tedious and tiresome. It’s a real patchka, you might say. Well blintz soufflé may sound daunting but let me tell you its super simple. It’s basically a cheese blintz recipe but without the patchka. It might scare you because it’s 2 bowls but it’s really a cinch to put together and it’s always a crowd pleaser among both adults and kids.

The last licks of summer is still here. It’s definitely hot enough to be summer that’s for sure. I still am getting amazing peaches, nectarines, and plums and the yummy stone fruits from the local supermarkets. I’m really picky with my stone fruit and I like it to be rock hard. If it doesn’t pass my touch test then it goes straight to be baked. I like making peach crisp for dessert in the summer because they are super simple easy and I usually have some stone fruits in the fridge that don’t pass my rock hard test. So In honor of the last licks of summer here is my version of the peach crisp I hope you enjoy!

Ingredients

• 6 ripe peaches pitted and cut up small
• Dash of cinnamon
• Juice from half of a lemon
• 1 tsp Vanilla sugar

Crumbs

• ½ cup Sugar
• ½ cup brown sugar
• ½ cup flour
• ½ cup oats
• ⅓ cup oil

Directions

• In a bowl mix the peaches, dash of cinnamon, lemon juice, and vanilla sugar to coat.
• Place peaches in a ceramic pie plate.
• To make the crumbs add all ingredients in a bowl and mix until it resembles sand.
• Pour crumbs over peaches and bake in a 350 degree oven for an hour until peaches are soft and it’s bubbly.

Serve with ice cream & enjoy!

Does every meal need a salad? I always ask myself that question. Does anyone really like salad or do we pretend to like it because we know it’s good for us. Going into the new year, I would like to start with making sure I have a salad at every meal. I want my kids to learn to like salad from a young age and teach them the importance of healthy eating from early on, and also just to enjoy all foods, weather they are good for you or not. This salad serves a few purposes, it’s not just so my kids learn to eat a vegetable It’s also a fun way to incorporate the simanim for Rosh Hashana. The base I used was kale, yeah that’s the stuff I used to garnish tables with, that has made its way into households as a superfood. I added pomegranate seeds, which by the way I can eat by the bowl full, I love them that much. I also used shaved carrots, roasted butternut squash, Gefen premade beets, roasted leeks, cut up slivers of apple and to top it off and to get them to eat it, candied Meal Mart smoked beef fry. I don’t know about you but growing up we always had salad on the table and my mom always had bacon bits on the side. This reminds me of my childhood and now I get to have the real deal or at the least the Kosher version of the real deal. As a dressing I wanted to go light and I made a pomegranate honey vinaigrette. I hope you love this salad and not just eat it because of the health benefits. I hope in the Zechus of this salad we all have an amazing healthy and prosperous new year.
