Dag Al HaDan

Top choice in Upper Galilee & Golan


One of Israel’s finest fish restaurants. Except when it's raining, diners sit outside under gorgeous fig trees with the cold, clear waters of the Dan burbling by – pure magic. Renowned for grilled trout and smoked trout, raised in ponds just 50m away (which you can visit), that are served with superb oven-roasted potatoes. Vegetarians can choose from goat-cheese-stuffed mushrooms, quiche and gnocchi.

Certified kosher from Sunday to Thursday. Reserve ahead for Saturday lunch from July through Sukkot. Situated 1km north of Rte 99, across the highway from Kibbutz HaGoshrim.
