A Summary of Pesach Restaurants All over Israel for 2023.

It is that time of year again when anyone who keeps kosher in Israel wants to know which restaurants are open for Pesach and if they serve kitniyot or not. The way Pesach falls this year means that there are very few nights for eating out and many of the top restaurants are already fully booked!

I have tried to provide as much accurate information as possible and will continue to update this list until Pesach is over. However,  if you plan to go to a specific restaurant and want to be 100% sure, please double-check the information yourselves.  I also highly recommend making reservations in advance as it is likely to be an extremely busy Pesach for restaurants all over the country. If I have not specified a hechsher or whether they serve kitniyot, it means I have not confirmed that information.

As always, if you would like to share your experience at any of these Pesach restaurants, or discover any new or different information, please share in a comment below, or share a review on Restaurant Club Israel.
