Chinese! and other Lake Tiberias, Israel Restaurant Reviews

Restaurant Name: HaBait

This is my favorite restaurant in Tiberias. Actually there are two Chinese restaurants which belong to the same owner and have the same menu and they are across the road from each other.HaBait is the smaller one and Pagoda is the bigger one. HaBait is a lovely house with several rooms and you can chose in which room you eat. The prices are good and they have "the business lunch" at day hours during the weekdays.
I ate there with Gabi on17th of March 2006 after we had enjoyed Hamat Gader Spa.
The pictures are from that visit.
HaBait is open on shabbats. Pagoda is closed on shabbats.

Favorite Dish: Fish! Fish is always good. Chinese fish dishes are excellent!

El Gaucho is another great place to eat besides the Chinese. This one specializes in Argentinian grill and has great steaks. I don't eat meat, but they have great grilled salmon.

Restaurant Name: Local people selling coffee and Malabi

This original local coffee place was at the entrance of Eden Park
in the Golan Heights.
These are the best places to have tea/coffee at and also to eat something nice.
We ate "Malabi", which was one of the best malabis I have ever had. The man is from Greek origin (Tessaloniki) and he makes Greek Jewish specialities.
I forgot to take a picture of Malabi... was too busy eating it!

Favorite Dish: Malabi.

Restaurant Name: Junis at Golani Junction

This restaurant is located beside a gas station close to Golani Junction, about 20 minutes drive from Tiberias. It is worth to leave the lake area and drive there!
The food is soooooooooo goooooooood! We had first salads and then grilled meat portions. The meal included freshly baked pitta bread with za'atar. And of course we got coffee and baklava and other sweets on the house, like always in arab restaurants.
Don't miss this one if you happen to be in the area. Or just do get yourself to the area!

Favorite Dish: I had chicken steak and really enjoyed every bite of it.
