Upper Galilee & Golan
If you’re in the mood for something healthy – chickpea flour and vegetable quiche, for instance, or açai berries with fruit, granola and chia seeds – LA-raised Feiga's tiny vegetarian eatery may be the ideal destination. Lots of dishes (such as pizza) are vegan and/or gluten-free.
Specialities include quesadillas (corn or whole wheat), quinoa with sautéed veggies and herbs, and vegan ice cream made with coconut and almond milk.
