Limonim

Frommer's Review

Located on the upper floor of an old stone caravanserai (a caravan inn) from Ottoman times, this kosher restaurant serves one of the most interesting menus in town. You might want to start off with a house medley of hot and cold appetizers. Everything among the wide-ranging, inventive menu choices has its own special twist: The Israeli salad is laced with citrus fruit and topped with a pomegranate dressing; meat patties and leek/spinach patties are baked in sauces of dried fruit and cinnamon; veal chops are grilled in vanilla oil; and chicken wings are prepared in honey or with spicy mango sauce. There are many stir-fried vegetarian and meat dishes, as well as fish dishes, and hot and cold salads with unusual house dressings (Limonim means "lemons," and the restaurant is especially proud of its dried lemon sauces). Portions are large and there are a few daily specials worth asking about. The sorbets are a good dessert option and there's a good selection of Israeli wines. Limonim can be a bit uneven, and its dishes sometimes too inventive for some tastes, but most visitors will be very happy here.
