Taste of Israel

An Israeli Culinary Tour. No Passport Required.

An Israeli Culinary Tour. No Passport Required.

Taste of Israel is Boston’s first and only Israeli restaurant week.

Created by JArts in 2019, the event encourages both chefs and foodies to explore Israel’s diverse culinary landscape. Participating restaurants are challenged to create 3-5 special dishes using ingredients from our curated IsraeliBox. Their unique takes on Israeli cuisine are then featured on each restaurant’s menu for the duration of the week.

Dine at a participating restaurant, learn the stories behind the dishes, and order a box of JArts-curated ingredients to make your own Israeli-inspired creations!

Israeli food is so much more than hummus and falafel. Just as Israel serves as a melting pot of cuisines— Moroccan, Yemenite, French, Bukharan, Russian, Ethiopian, Druze, and many others — Taste of Israel features restaurants from a variety of persuasions.
