This list for fine dining in northern Israel comes from Al Hashulchan magazine’s 2009 Guide to the Top Restaurants in Israel, December 2008.
Restaurants given honorable mention (“HM”) are included, since there are fewer top-rated restaurants in the north.
(Sometimes Israeli restaurants change their hours (or close!) in tough economic times, so we recommend you call ahead to confirm hours of operation, and to make reservations if necessary.)
Note that kosher restaurants are not open during the Jewish Sabbath (Friday evening and Sat. until after sundown).
