The 6 Best Restaurants in the Golan Heights (2026)

Updated September 2026 · 6 picks

The best restaurants in the Golan Heights in 2026 are HaBokrim at Merom Golan for Golan beef, Moshbutz for butcher-counter burgers and steaks, and the Golan Brewery restaurant in Katzrin. The Golan is cattle country, and its restaurants are built around local beef, with Druze cooking in the northern villages. Here are 6, with what to order.

1. HaBokrim — Kibbutz Merom Golan

The cowboys' steakhouse — Golan beef beside a working ranch.

₪₪₪ Upmarket

HaBokrim — "the cowboys" — is the western-style restaurant at Kibbutz Merom Golan, beside the kibbutz's horse ranch and a few minutes from Mount Bental.

It specialises in local meats from the Golan's cattle herds, with vegetarian and children's dishes too, and it is kosher. The ranch setting makes it a favourite with families.

It is a natural lunch or dinner after Mount Bental and the northern sites.

Good to know: Book ahead — it is one of the busiest restaurants on the Golan, and hours are limited.

2. Moshbutz — Southern Golan

A Golan butcher shop and deli with outstanding burgers.

₪₪ Mid-range

Moshbutz is a Golan butcher selling meat from the region's herds, with a deli counter that serves burgers, steaks and sandwiches made from the same meat.

It is informal and excellent value, and the burgers have a reputation well beyond the Golan.

A great lunch stop on a road trip — and you can take meat home.

Good to know: Order the burger, then look in the butcher's case for something to take home.

3. Golan Brewery restaurant — Katzrin, Chutzot HaGolan

Meat dishes and house beer, in the middle of the Golan.

₪₪₪ Upmarket

The Golan Brewery in Katzrin has a restaurant alongside its brewhouse, serving a meat-heavy menu with the Bazelet beers poured fresh.

It is central for the Yehudiya reserve, Gamla and the Meshushim pool, which makes it the easy post-hike dinner.

See our Golan wineries and breweries guide for the brewery itself.

Good to know: Pair the grill dishes with the Bazelet amber ale.

4. Meatshos — Katzrin

A Golan chophouse specialising in aged beef.

₪₪₪₪ Splurge

Meatshos is a Katzrin steakhouse that dry-ages local beef and serves it grilled, with a menu built for meat lovers.

It is the serious steak dinner in the central Golan.

Book ahead at weekends and in the holidays.

Good to know: Ask what aged cuts are available — the specials change with the ageing room.

5. Coffee Annan — Summit of Mount Bental

The café on top of Mount Bental, looking across into Syria.

₪ Budget

Coffee Annan sits on the summit of Mount Bental, beside the old military outpost and lookout, with a view across the border into Syria. Its name is a pun on the former UN secretary-general — anan also means "cloud" in Hebrew.

The menu is simple — coffee, cakes, pizza and local products — and the setting is the point.

Combine it with the lookout and the trenches around it.

Good to know: Take your coffee outside to the lookout — the view is the reason to come.

6. De Karina — Kibbutz Ein Zivan

A boutique chocolate factory with workshops and a café.

₪₪ Mid-range

De Karina is a boutique chocolate factory at Kibbutz Ein Zivan, making handmade chocolates and running a café and chocolate workshops for visitors.

The workshops are especially popular with families, and the café is a welcome sweet stop on a northern Golan day.

Pelter Winery is on the same kibbutz.

Good to know: Book a workshop in advance if you are travelling with children.
