Around Jerusalem and the Dead Sea Restaurants

Some Judean Hills wineries offer fancy meals along with their tastings, but these should be reserved in advance. Abu Ghosh, on the way to Latrun, is known for its hummus and kebab restaurants. There are also some passable cafeterias west of Jerusalem, but few really tempting restaurants for dinner. An alternative is to take a packed lunch or have a picnic west of Jerusalem with wine and cheese. At the Dead Sea, it's always a good idea to make reservations in Ein Bokek restaurants, especially on Friday and Saturday night.
