Shiri Bistro & Wine Bar

Top choice in Upper Galilee & Golan


Fresh-cut flowers, flickering candles and spectacular views greet you at this Mediterranean-inflected French bistro, named after the chef, whose great-great-great-grandparents built the place in the late 1870s. It has one of the best wine lists in Israel, with about 250 Galilee and Golan wines – including rare boutique vintages – available by the glass.
