    This charming inn takes its name from the original Hotel Shulamit, where the 1948 Armistice Treaty was signed. The home-smoked meats and fish are unique and worth trying, as are the seasonal soups, seafood dishes, and the elegant array of desserts. If you can't bear to leave, the inn has three French country–style guest rooms.

    The Galilee Hills make a perfect pasture for livestock—in this case, goats—and here you can taste the fresh output of Ein Camonim's dairy, one of the best in Israel. The all-you-can-eat menu includes a platter of about three dozen goat cheeses, a selection of home-baked breads, a variety of fresh salads, and house wine. There's a half-price menu for kids. The specialty shop next door sells the dairy's cheeses, olives, and other homemade products. The eatery is 20 km (12½ miles) southwest of Tzfat, 5 km (3 miles) west of Kadarim Junction.

    The main street in Majdal Shams is speckled with pita stands where the popular street wrap is served warm and filled with tangy yogurt cheese. For dessert, stop by Abu Zaid, which sells a type of orange-hued pastry called knafeh. Similar to baklava, it has delicious layers of gooey goat cheese covered in a flaky crust and peppered with pistachios. Ask for a slice from the large tray—one serving could be easily enjoyed by two. The to-go delicacy loses its charm when it cools down, so eat it while it's warm.

    The town of Maalot-Tarshisha is home to Jewish, Christian, and Muslim families, and they rub elbows at Aluma Bistro. Decorated with artifacts from Provence, the burgundy-toned dining room buzzes with locals in search of an extraordinary meal. Young Arab chef Alaa Sweetat weaves seasonal French and traditional Galilean styles into a tapestry of taste. Inquire about the daily specials, which may include seasonally foraged vegetables and a fresh catch of the day.

    The sizzling steaks of his native Argentina figure prominently on Rafa's menu. The best starters are the pickled tongue and the meat or corn empanadas. Entrées include roast beef and a sausage and lamb casserole with rice and green beans. Vegetarians shouldn't despair, as the rich vegetable, mozzarella, prune, and almond stew is delicious. Business lunches, served daily from noon to 5 pm, are tasty and economical.

    Fresh-baked sourdough breads, oil- and preservative-free pastries, and healthy whole wheat challah are the cornerstone of Gal Levi's kosher bakery in the rural heart of the Galilee. Grab a seat on Friday morning in the backyard outdoor garden with the locals to taste stone-oven-baked Turkish-style cheese burekas, artichoke carpaccio with olives and sun-dried tomatoes, or a light dish of homemade granola and locally produced yogurt.

    This is the best corral this side of the Israel-Syria disengagement zone. Saddle-shaped stools at the bar and cattle hides on the walls contribute to the frontier atmosphere. But it's the grub—specifically the hearty steaks and the house specialty, chicken breast stuffed with smoked meat—that packs 'em in at this place, known locally as HaBokrim. Advance reservations are required for the Friday night kosher buffet.

    This forested area beside the gurgling Dan River draws enthusiastic crowds, especially on the weekends. This was the first restaurant in the region to specialize in the abundant fish from the river; you can also take a look at the trout ponds in a small installation on the grounds. The slightly outdated restaurant, opposite Kibbutz Hagoshrim, is tucked away behind the main road, but it's large and well signposted. The same management also runs a café next door serving vegetarian fare.

    The experienced cook behind the scenes at this restaurant, the oldest dining establishment in the vegetarian community of Moshav Amirim, is a former nutritionist, so you can be sure everything on the menu is wholesome.

    A few minutes' walk along the trail leading to the Banias Waterfall is the ancient flour mill and a stall where Druze villagers make their traditional pita bread (bigger and flatter than the commercial version). It's not only baked on the premises but also milled here. Pull up a rock, and for a few shekels you'll be served a large rolled-up pita with labaneh (yogurt cheese) and Turkish coffee.

The menu has a hearty selection of pastas, pizzas, seafood, and meat dishes, all with a contemporary Middle Eastern touch. It sits opposite Kibbutz Ma'ayan Baruch. Reservations are highly recommended, especially on weekends when the place is packed with locals, and for good reason.

    The setting, a charming stone house with both indoor and outdoor seating, lends great atmosphere to this family-run eatery set above the Old City and taking in the view of Mount Meron (the restaurant's name means "paradise"). Gan Eden is best known for its fish, especially fillets of sea bass and sea bream. What they call calzones are actually dumplings stuffed with salty Tzfat cheese and served with a delicious salad of lettuce, cranberries, and walnuts. The place is kosher for dairy, meaning no meat is served.

    With a name that literally means "the cabin," HaBikta evokes the smoked meats for which it's best known. The chicken and steaks, smoked over cherrywood and grapevines, come with access to the generous salad buffet. Try the whole chickpeas coated in cumin and green onions, or the coriander tossed with slivered almonds and lentils.

    Named after the Palestinian village that stood on this spot until 1948, this hippie-chic bistro serves salads, pasta, fish, and meat dishes with Italian flair. While the food may not be the most sophisticated, the atmosphere defines the relaxed, casual vibe of Rosh Pina. During the day, this is a perfect spot for a coffee break or a light lunch. The outdoor seating is pleasant, especially when there's live music on summer evenings.

    This popular Old City eatery's upstairs dining room has benches and tables inlaid with Middle Eastern designs, walls painted the soft shade of blue found inside local synagogues, and colorful carpets from all over the region. The strikingly dressed owner and chef, Ronen Jarufi, makes each meal to order. Choose from a variety of Yemenite breads—lachuch, malawa, or jachnun are all good picks—and he'll top it with homemade cheese and his own hot sauce. The place also stocks books on Kabbalah and CDs of evocative Jewish music.

    This kosher restaurant's colorful dishes highlight Galilean delicacies. The Israeli breakfast is a rich way to enjoy the flavors of homemade jams or grilled baby eggplant with tahini. For a light lunch try the plentiful salads, especially the halloumi cheese and sautéed mushrooms served over romaine lettuce. The sun-filled gallery inside the café fills the walls with color and showcases the works by artists from the local special needs community (who also receive part of the café's profits).
