Lotte, Tiberias With the recent reopening of the Galei Kinneret Hotel, Chef Assaf Granit set himself with a challenge: how to combine the local flavors of Tiberias with the signature style of cuisine his "MahneYehuda" brand is known for. Together with Chef Eliad Danon, at the helm of the restaurant's kitchen, in-depth research was undertaken, and the resulting menu is truly unique: Tiberas-style bresaola, Tunisian cigars, Coal Office eggplant (named after Granit's successful restaurant in London), all dishes that interconnect culinary heritage with modern technique and creativity. galei-kinneret.co.il

Marée Sky Lounge, Netanya Located on the 15 th floor of the Vert Hotel in Netanya, the Marée (“tide” in French) majestically looks out onto the open sea. Chef Aviv Moshe offers an exceptional dining experience in a sea-inspired décor of rocks and coral-shaped chandeliers. The menu is eclectic and creative and includes a vast selection of elegant fish dishes. The open rooftop lounge has its very own DJ stand and diners are invited to prolong their evening outside once their meal is over. maree.co.il

Darya, Tel Aviv The beautiful open view onto the Mediterranean adds to the overall charm of this delightful restaurant located inside Tel Aviv’s Hilton hotel. Chef Hillel Tavakuli who shot to fame with his previous venture Animar, showcases his love for Eurasian cuisine in a menu greatly inspired by his mother Darya. The meal opens with a huge mezze platter as diners choose between continuing with a finger food style meal of small dishes or whether to go for one of the delicious main courses, all replete with the spices and flavors of the Silk Routes of Central Asia. daryatlv.com

300 grams, Moshav Betzet This meat restaurant in the northern moshav of Betzet, is located between a banana plantation, a granary, and a bunch of tractors. Chef Itai Hason offers diners a huge selection of smoked and aged meats, minute-steak, hamburgers, carpaccio, chorizo sausages with sauerkraut and mustard, and more. The extra-hungry will delight in the menu, that includes meat main courses and plenty of wonderful first courses and salads as well, and there's a kids' menu full of great options too. And why 300 grams you might ask? Well, 300 grams happens to be the most popular weight for a cut of meat. 300gramchef.co.il
