  • 1. Bar Behar

    $$

    Open seven days a week, this casual Mediterranean restaurant is the perfect place to grab a morning coffee or stop for a bite while hiking and biking. Homemade pastas, taboon-baked pizzas, and Israeli favorites like shakshuka are served on a stone patio overlooking the Judean Hills. A small stand supplies maps of nearby hiking trails and nature reserves, and one circular trail, Nofey Nahal Katlav, which is partially paved, starts right outside of the restaurant.

  • 3. Majda

    $$$

    A Jewish--Arab couple offers fresh food made using ingredients straight from their garden at this eatery in a picturesque location a few miles west of Jerusalem. Yakub Barhum built the outdoor deck and pergola overhead, and Michal Baranes, the chef, dreamed up the menu of changing dishes. The fig salad is a celebration of the summer's juicy abundance, and the Layali Beirut dessert is a semolina cake with cream and rosewater.
