Muscat
A small Mediterranean restaurant built around seasonal vegetables and grilled meats. We like sitting outside on summer evenings, and we book ahead on weekends because it fills up.
We're Omri and Julia, and we've been hosting in Rosh Pina for a few years now. The first question guests ask is almost always where to eat. So here are the places we go back to ourselves, in the old town and close by — no superlatives, just honest recommendations.
Rosh Pina's old town is small and pleasant to walk, and some of the best places are right there among the historic stone houses.

A restaurant in a historic stone building, with a menu that shifts by season and real attention to detail. Dinner for two runs roughly ₪200–260, though it's worth checking current prices in advance.
A small café with fresh pastries and good coffee — a nice place for breakfast before heading out. Mostly open mornings and early afternoons.
Several of the nearby wineries run their own restaurants, which makes it easy to fold a tasting into a meal.
A restaurant on the winery grounds, with a menu built to match the wines made there. Book ahead on weekends and holidays — it's popular with travellers.
A short stop for local cheeses, usually with bread and wine alongside. Good for a light picnic mid-way through a day out, and no table booking needed.
In some seasons small farmers' markets run in the area, with honey, boutique wines and baked goods. Check dates in advance — they don't run to a fixed schedule.
Safed is close enough for dinner or a short visit, and the artists' quarter has a few good options.
Small hummus and falafel stalls around the old market — good for a quick, relatively cheap lunch. Come before peak hours if you want somewhere to sit.
A handful of small family restaurants serve homestyle Middle Eastern food at fair prices. Pair it with a short wander through the artists' quarter and its galleries.
After the meal, climb to the lookout over the Hula Valley, especially at dusk. A good place to close the day before driving back to Rosh Pina.
Sometimes you just want to sit with a coffee and a book without driving anywhere. A few options near our suites.
Fresh pastries and good coffee, in a quiet lane beside the old town. A good way to start the day before setting out.
If you'd rather have a slow morning, just stay put: both the Mango Suite and the Cherry Suite have a fully equipped kitchenette, so you can make breakfast and eat it in the garden or beside the jacuzzi.
If you're planning a full day in the area, have a look at our area guide too, so you can line the meals up with stops in nature and around the Hula Valley.
A few things we're often asked about eating around here.
On weekends and holidays yes, especially at the small restaurants in the old town. Midweek it's usually easy enough to turn up spontaneously.
About 20 minutes' drive from Rosh Pina, depending on traffic at the entrance to the city on weekends and holidays.
Yes — most places in the old town welcome families, and you can always cook in the suite itself if a quiet evening sounds better.
Two boutique suites in the heart of Rosh Pina — jacuzzi, pool and a warm welcome. Check availability and book direct.
