Sea of Galilee
This homey meat restaurant – the name is a contraction of 'moshav' and 'kibbutz' – is renowned for its fabulous Golan-raised steaks, juicy burgers and creative salads as well as starters such as grilled aubergine in tangy goat’s-milk yoghurt and French onion soup. The food is complemented by boutique Golan wines and microbrews, charming service and great views down to the Sea of Galilee.
Reservations are highly recommended. To get there from the moshav's gate, take the third right.
