The 16 Best Restaurants in Akko, Israel | Eater
"The whole country has heard of Uri Buri and Uri Jeremias, the legendary white-bearded chef who has become synonymous with his famous restaurant; fans know him simply as Uri Buri. He opened this unpretentious fine-dining restaurant back in 1989, providing possibly the best seafood in Israel right in front of the ocean. The chef’s curiosity, which rivals that of Le Petit Prince, makes the food stand out. He is always questioning guests’ palates while using top-notch ingredients without unnecessary adornment, letting diners focus on the balance of flavors. Locals love dishes like sashimi salmon with wasabi sorbet or the mix of seafood atop ptitim, Israeli couscous. Vegan options are available as well. The tasting menu, priced at 220 shekels ($63), gives you course after course of surprisingly creative plates, quickly revealing why this restaurant is on every best Israeli restaurant list.
