  • 21. Oratorio

    Whether you're at the Elma Arts Complex for a performance or simply for the spectacular views of the Mediterranean, Oratorio satisfies with fine dining in a magnificent setting. The modern dining room provides gallery space for interesting, thought-provoking art from Israel and around the world. Try the oven-roasted sea bass with tomato salsa, or any of the excellent grilled fish or meats; the produce is locally sourced. Pair your meal with excellent wine from area vineyards.

    Stop into this legendary institution, opened in 1940, for coffee and cake, or a meal of spinach blintzes with melted cheese, hamburgers, or Chinese dishes. Three generations of the Oppenheimer family work here, and the walls carry enlarged photographs of how the place looked when just a hut. The management swears that the schnitzel gets accolades from Viennese visitors.

    Pasta made on the premises with ingredients imported from Italy speaks to the high quality of this premier Italian restaurant with an open kitchen and a pleasant atmosphere. Beautiful wood furnishings and a light, bright interior provide a backdrop to innovative dishes like pizza with pear, truffle, and blue cheese or salmon pappardelle with spinach and beets. Desserts are really the standouts: homemade ice cream and a pistachio crème brûlée have the locals lining up for a table.

    One of Haifa’s best-kept secrets, this intimate bar serves terrific hamburgers and salads, but the artistic vibe is what really draws you in. Owner Vicki paints, and her artwork, along with works by other locals, is featured. Her husband, Gil, runs the restaurant, books the music, and in his off-hours, manages a theater company. There's often live music spilling from the little stage.
