Fodor's Expert Review Bar Behar
$$
Beit Shemesh
Breakfast
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.
