This charming inn takes its name from the original Hotel Shulamit, where the 1948 Armistice Treaty was signed.

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.

For a delicious dessert, stop by Abu Zaid on Majdal Shams' main street, 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 while dining 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.

This is the best corral this side of the Israel--Syria disengagement zone. Saddle-shape stools at the bar and cattle hides on the walls contribute to the frontier atmosphere. But it's the food—specifically the hearty steaks and the house specialty, chicken breast stuffed with smoked meat—that packs them 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 for fresh river trout. 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 The slightly outdated restaurant, opposite Kibbutz Hagoshrim, is tucked away behind the main road, but it's large and well signposted.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.

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 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.

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 evocative Jewish music and books on Kabbalah.

Go easy on the appetizers here, as you'll want to save room for this sleek, modern kosher eatery's savory meat dishes. Those in the know recommend the generous veal entrecôte and the lamb chops in a flavorful sauce of caramel, oranges, mint, and ginger. Avoid the creamy desserts, which don't contain real dairy. The extensive wine list is a pleasure, however.

The local spirit at play in this restaurant's name—a combination of moshav and kibbutz, two types of Israeli agricultural communities—also shapes the menu at Moshbutz. This eatery's farm-fresh philosophy is integral, as the chef sources all of the ingredients from Golan Heights. The abundant wine and beer menu offer a chance to taste options from the surrounding vineyards and microbreweries. Choose the rump carpaccio and liver pâté for starters, but save room for the aged beef and lamb. Sit in the nicely converted cow shed and enjoy a glass of Muscat dessert wine or port from a nearby vineyard while enjoying a spectacular sunset over the Sea of Galilee.
