Set in a 19th century villa with a walled garden, this atmospheric Jerusalem landmark serves an excellent, wide-ranging fish and vegetarian menu, great soups and salads, and perhaps the most heavenly (kosher) cakes and pies in Israel
Vaqueiro (Jerusalem; 54 Haneviim St.; tel. 02/624-7432): A major new Jerusalem restaurant hit, this South American style all-you-can-eat meat grill set in a charming 19th century mansion is a meat-eaters paradise, AND kosher! The fixed price Dinner Banquet runs approximately $27; Business lunch is less and an excellent deal. Closed for Shabbat. New listing.
Spaghettim (Jerusalem and Tel Aviv): This restaurant offers a vast array of spaghettis in fantastic sauces loaded with fresh ingredients. The Jerusalem branch, set in an old Ottoman-era mansion with a delightful dining garden, is an especially romantic location, but there's also a less-atmospheric branch in Tel Aviv.
Cacao at the Cinimathhque (Jerusalem): The view of the Old City walls from the terrace here is breathtaking, the crowd is intelligent and stylish, and the menu is very affordable. Salads, pastas, peasant sandwiches, and a reasonably priced fish menu are offered. In cold weather, the indoor dining room can be smoky, but in good weather, a meal or dessert on the terrace is a must.
Kohinoor (Jerusalem): This kosher Indian restaurant provides a rare oppor-tunity for kosher visitors to sample well-prepared Indian cuisine. The all-you-can-eat luncheon buffets are very affordable. The nonkosher Tandoori restaurants (Tel Aviv, Eilat, and Herzlia) of the same chain are equally excellent, elegant, and a good value.
Ali Oli (Tel Aviv): Without being fancy or pretentious, this place has style, spirit, and exceptional fish and seafood prepared in light, Mediterranean Rim style. Prices are reasonable-a great place to wine and dine the night away sampling the tapa-style portions. But a long night of sampling can bring the tab to the expensive range.
Manta Ray (Tel Aviv): On an empty stretch of beach between Tel Aviv and Jaffa, this beach pavilion is open to the sea, the sound of the waves, and the Mediterranean sunset. It serves stylishly prepared fish and seafood, and is a good choice for breakfast or leisurely lunches and dinners. Upper moderate.
Margaret Tayar's (Jaffa): This is a small, authentic place a short walk from trendy Old Jaffa, with a covered terrace overlooking the sweeping Tel Aviv shoreline, and a master cook who loves to see people enjoying her creations. The crews of Jaffa's fishing boats adore Margaret-she gets first choice of the catch. This is a one-woman tour de force. This can be an Upper Moderate choice, but Margaret's portions are so generous, you can share and the bill will be reasonable. One of the very best restaurants in the country at any price (See Luxury Dining Choices). Closed Sundays. Always call to check opening hours.
Abu Christo (Old Akko): Fresh fish and a covered dining terrace right beside the sea give this restaurant a delightful Greek Island harborside ambience. You can put together a feast here, complete with Middle Eastern appetizers, for $15 to $20.
Decks (Tiberias): Named for its vast deck jutting into the Sea of Galilee, Decks does superb meats and vegetables grilled over olive, hickory, and citrus fires and gives you vistas, and, at times, the option of a free evening cruise. The breast of mullard, a duck-goose hybrid, is amazing, as is the special shoulder of baby lamb. Upper moderate range.u, great soups and salads, and perhaps the most heavenly (kosher) cakes and pies in Israel
