Daniel Rogov's
The Best Restaurants of Israel
Updated 13 25 October, 2003

The following reflects my ongoing effort to compile three lists, one of the country's best restaurants, another of the best casual and thus less expensive restaurants and yet another of places that while they may not make the "top ratings" are among those places that I personally adore and return to with pleasure on numerous occasions.
