Hi, I’m Debbie,

As a self-proclaimed foodie, I love discovering local eateries and showing visiting friends and family the great choice of restaurants Israel has to offer. The food scene in Israel is very dynamic and even locals can find it hard to keep up with the latest openings and closings.

I manage two Facebook groups, Restaurant Club Israel and Restaurant Club Jerusalem with a community of over 6000 members.

Enjoy!
Debbie
