Lebanese Food Restaurant — Restaurant in Abu Gosh

Rather good tavern on the road to or from Jerusalem. In my humble opinion it is a slight exaggeration to call this place a restaurant.

We ordered shishkebab with bulgur, homemade hummus, and local olives 🫒.

The waiters were very polite and quick. To complete the atmosphere, there was also a begar cat that resisted to leave us until it got some rests of the shishkebab.

Don't expect unique chef inventiveness or a fancy presentation, but plenty of tasty food at reasonable prices, usually with complementary tea or black coffee with your check.

The parking lot is fairly small relative to the size of this popular place, you'll most likely need to use the unpaved overflow parking "lot" across the street, which although bumpy is...
