This popular restaurant is located on both sides of the village’s Main Street making it unique and a bit hectic. It was perfect for a coffee break and munching on delicious bread with spreads before we explored the exotic alleyways and sights.
Mala Bistro

Mala Bistro is situated in the enchanted, rural neighborhood of Ein Karem, in an ancient building which was the site of an amazing discovery in its walls of a golden treasure during the founding of the State of Israel.

“Nice little place”
We stopped in the Mala Bistro for a drink only, but loved the place. Very small, but great design and decor. It wasn’t mealtime, but some people were eating delicious looking food. If we’re here again, we’ll definitely make sure it’s mealtime. Wait service was very friendly.
“Amazing Food”
We ate at Mala Bistro in Ein Kerem on April 9 after visiting sites related to John the Baptizer. The Rustic Chicken was out of this world delicious! Not to mention the fresh off the oven bread. Simply an unforgettable meal.
