2 Best Restaurants in Kursi National Park, Lower Galilee

At lunchtime this popular establishment on the eastern shore bustles with tour groups, but it's a fine dinner option, too. Famous for St. Peter's fish, it has added sea bream, trout, and gray mullet to the menu, as well as entrées such as quiche, pizza, pasta, and salads. In fine weather, sit on the large outdoor terrace, and take in the view across the lake to Tiberias. Watch for the signs for "Kibbutz Inn Ein Gev."

Marinado started as a cattle ranch and is still a butcher and gourmet food shop. It is the only restaurant in Israel that produces its own meat, wine, and olive oil. The restaurant specializes in beef and has a large indoor seating area and breezy outdoor dining with lovely views of the Kinneret. The restaurant also has several branches in and near Tel Aviv, although this is its flagship location.
