Fodor's Expert Review Aluma Bistro

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.
