Middle East

Health Food restaurants in Middle East

  1. A

    Mandarin

    Step off busy HaNassi Ave, down past a gardenlike entrance with the sign 'Mandarin' and you'll assume you're headed for a Chinese restaurant. Where you actually end up is a quaint café with a wood deck and cosy interior set to a soundtrack of funk and blues. The menu features soups, salads, big sandwiches and pastas. There is live jazz on Thursdays and free wi-fi for laptop users.

    Beneno

    An artsy café shuttered in a quiet neighbourhood halfway up the mountain, Beneno serves a simple menu of sandwiches, soups and salads. Its closest landmark is the Shrine of the Bab so it does tend to get a few Baha'i pilgrims. It's also a meeting place for Haifa's gay and lesbian community. It's a short walk from the Masada subway station.

    Luche

    Fresh and fun, Luche is a breath of fresh air on Bograshov St. Here you can try all kinds of healthy meals in a bright, homey atmosphere, complete with couches and shelves stacked with books. Come in the morning for an Iraqi breakfast involving an omelette, salad, eggplant and tahini.

    Abu Shukri

    A branch of the famed Abu Shukri in Abu Ghosh, this place serves up bowls of fresh hummus and beans. Unlike most fast-food joints, this one has a pleasant indoor setting with air-con. They also do great homemade lemonade.

    Juice Bars

    If you take an empty mineral-water bottle to the Juice Bars on Sharia Yarmouk, they'll fill it up for you to take away.
