Gaza City Restaurants

  1. Al Salam Restaurant

    Many locals swear that this is the place for fish and seafood. However, with restrictions sometimes imposed on fishermen, fish dishes may also be suspended temporarily from the menu. In that case, opt for one of the grilled chicken dishes, which are extremely tasty, too.

  2. Delice Café

    Catering to Gazans' taste for sweet stuff, this patisserie is always busy and it's a great place to stop for a quick pastry or two and a strong cup of black coffee.

  3. Roots Restaurant

    By far the most expensive up-scale restaurant in Gaza, Roots is where important people dine on steak au poivre and chicken cordon bleu, though, since alcohol isn't served, there's no washing it down with a good vintage of anything other than Coke. Owner Basil Eleiwa and partners sunk US$1.1 million into the place, which has a nice outdoor area for evening dining, and incorporates the Green Terrace Café, serving sandwiches, mezze and light lunches all day long in less formal surroundings.
