The 6 Best Kosher Restaurants in Netanya (2026)

Updated September 2026 · 6 picks

The best kosher restaurants in Netanya in 2026 are Beef Bar for steak, MAREE Sky Lounge on the 15th floor of the VERT hotel for a view, and Miriam's Grill for Moroccan home cooking near the beach. Netanya is one of the easiest cities in Israel to eat kosher in — it has around 50 supervised eateries and a large French and Anglo community that keeps the standard high. Six picks below.

1. MAREE Sky Lounge — VERT Hotel, 15th floor

Netanya's view restaurant — Mediterranean cooking fifteen floors above the coast.

₪₪₪₪ SplurgeKashrut Kosher; confirm the current certificate at the hotel

MAREE sits on the fifteenth floor of the VERT hotel and is the closest Netanya gets to a destination restaurant. The cooking is Mediterranean, running both kosher meat and fish dishes, under chef Aviv Moshe — a name that carries weight well beyond Netanya.

The view is the reason to book rather than a bonus. From that height the whole coastline opens up, which is not something any of the street-level restaurants in the city can offer.

It is the obvious choice for an anniversary or for showing visitors that kosher dining in Netanya is not a compromise. Book, and ask for a window table when you do.

Good to know: Ask for a window table at the time of booking — it is the entire point of eating here.

2. Beef Bar Steakhouse — Netanya city centre

In-house aged meat in a modern industrial room — the city's steak answer.

₪₪₪₪ SplurgeKashrut Kosher; confirm the current certificate in the restaurant

Beef Bar is the Netanya steakhouse that takes the meat side seriously: it ages its own cuts in house, which is the single thing that most separates a good kosher steakhouse from an ordinary grill.

Kosher beef arrives with a structural handicap — the permitted cuts are limited and the salting firms the texture — so the kitchens that do well are the ones that control the ageing themselves rather than working from whatever arrives.

The room is modern and industrial rather than homely, and the menu runs wider than steak, with a good range of fish and pasta and some vegan dishes, which makes it workable for a mixed table.

Good to know: Ask what has been in the ageing fridge longest rather than ordering the default entrecôte.

3. Miriam's Grill — City centre, near the beach

Moroccan home cooking made in house, a short walk from the promenade.

₪₪ Mid-rangeKashrut Kosher; confirm the current certificate in the restaurant

Miriam's Grill sits in the city centre near the beach and cooks homemade Moroccan-style food — grilled meats done properly, with fresh salads and bread that arrive in quantity before anything else does.

This is the Netanya kosher restaurant that tastes like someone's kitchen rather than a concept. The salatim are made in house, which is the tell, and the grill is competent rather than showy.

It works best for a family table or a long lunch after the beach. Go hungry: the mezze arrives before you have ordered and it is not a token gesture.

Good to know: Do not fill up on the salatim, however tempting — the grill is the reason to be there.

4. Mifgash HaArazim — Netanya

Twenty years of Israeli grill-bar cooking, and a shawarma people come for.

₪₪ Mid-rangeKashrut Kosher; confirm the current certificate in the restaurant

Mifgash HaArazim has fed Netanya for about two decades, which in Israeli restaurant terms is close to permanence. It is a classic Israeli grill bar — premium cuts, skewers, salatim — with a signature shawarma that does a lot of the work.

Places that last this long in a competitive kosher market last for a reason, and it is usually consistency rather than fashion. The menu has not chased trends and the regulars have not left.

It is the everyday option on this list: unpretentious, reliable, and the one a Netanya local is most likely to name without thinking about it.

Good to know: The shawarma is the signature — order it even if you came for the grill.

5. Chacho — Netanya

Authentic Libyan cooking from Tripoli — a kind of food that is disappearing.

₪₪ Mid-rangeKashrut Kosher; confirm the current certificate in the restaurant

Chacho is a long-established Netanya restaurant serving authentic Libyan food from Tripoli in the north of the country. Libyan-Jewish cooking is one of the great Israeli cuisines and one of the least represented on restaurant menus, which makes a place like this worth going out of your way for.

Expect the dishes that community is known for rather than a generic Middle Eastern menu — the cooking is specific, and it is the specificity that people come for.

It is the most distinctive thing on this list. If you have eaten Moroccan and Israeli grill food and want something you genuinely have not had, start here.

Good to know: Ask what the kitchen has cooked that day rather than ordering from the menu cold.

6. Breado — Netanya

The city's best dairy restaurant, by local consensus.

₪₪ Mid-rangeKashrut Kosher dairy; confirm the current certificate in the restaurant

Breado is the answer to the question every kosher visitor to Netanya eventually asks, which is where to eat dairy. Locals name it as the city's finest dairy restaurant, and in a city whose kosher scene skews heavily towards meat that makes it genuinely useful.

A kosher dairy kitchen has the opposite problem to a meat one: no meat at all, so it competes on bread, cheese, pasta, fish and breakfast rather than on the grill.

It is the right stop for a breakfast, a coffee-and-cake afternoon, or a meal when the rest of the table has had enough grilled meat for one holiday.

Good to know: Dairy and meat kitchens keep different hours in Netanya — check before making a late plan.

Frequently asked questions

Is it easy to eat kosher in Netanya?

Easier than in almost any other coastal Israeli city. Netanya has roughly 50 kosher-supervised eateries across Rabbanut, Mehadrin and Glatt standards, and the city's large French and Anglo religious communities mean kosher is the default rather than a niche. The concentration is around the city centre and the promenade.

What is the best kosher restaurant in Netanya?

For a special occasion, MAREE Sky Lounge on the 15th floor of the VERT hotel, with Mediterranean cooking and a view along the coast. For steak, Beef Bar, which ages its own meat in house. For something warmer and more traditional, Miriam's Grill near the beach.

Is there a good kosher dairy restaurant in Netanya?

Breado is the one locals point to as Netanya's best dairy restaurant. Most of the city's better-known kosher restaurants are meat — grills, steakhouses and North African cooking — so the dairy options are fewer but perfectly good.

Why does Netanya have so many kosher restaurants?

Demographics. Netanya has one of the largest French-Jewish populations in Israel alongside a substantial Anglo community, both of which skew observant, and the city is a long-standing domestic holiday destination for religious families. That combination supports far more certified kitchens than the population alone would.

What kind of kosher food is Netanya known for?

North African, above all. The city's older kosher restaurants run to Moroccan and Libyan home cooking — Chacho has been serving Tripolitanian food for years — alongside the Israeli grill tradition. The newer end is steakhouses and hotel dining.

How do I check a Netanya restaurant's kashrut?

Kashrut certification in Israel is renewed annually and restaurants do change hands. Look for the current teudah on the wall before you order, and check the date on it — an expired certificate is the single most common problem, not an absent one.
