El Marsa Restaurant מסעדת אל מרסא

The 16 Best Restaurants in Akko, Israel | Eater

"El Marsa is in an ancient Ottoman customs house dating back to 1210 located in the stunning Old Port. No matter where you sit, the turquoise water sparkles through the window. Along with partner Marwan Sawaed, chef Alaa Musa, who grew up in Akko before working at several Michelin-starred restaurants in Sweden, offers a nuanced cuisine of homey Arab food mixed with modern twists. Discover dishes such as kibbeh stuffed with a medley of seafood in lieu of meat. You can also enjoy mejadra rice with a heap of goat yogurt, or ceviche straight from the sea with a side of shanklish cheese, which resembles labneh. [$$$]" - Keren Brown
