Haifa and the Northern Coast Restaurant Reviews
You won't have to look hard for a restaurant, whether simple or fancy, with a striking view of the Mediterranean or excellent fish, or both. Fish is served grilled or baked, with a variety of sauces: most common are locus (grouper), mulit (red mullet), churi (red snapper), and farida (sea bream). Also fresh, but from commercial fishponds and the Sea of Galilee, are buri (gray mullet), the ubiquitous tilapia, and the hybrid iltit (salmon-trout). Fresh seafood, such as shrimp and calamari, is also found along the coast. Many casual restaurants serve schnitzel (breaded and fried chicken cutlets) with french fries, which kids often love.
Until recently, coastal restaurants weren't as refined as those in Tel Aviv. No longer. Hilly Haifa has several interesting restaurants with creative chefs. The artists' village of Ein Hod has sumptuous Argentinian dining, and there's locally famous falafel in the Druze village of Daliyat el Carmel. Netanya has the region's highest concentration of kosher establishments. Dress is always informal.
