5 Must-Try Food Stops at Netanya Market

Great news for food lovers visiting Israel – Netanya’s local market is serving up some of the most authentic eats in the country. Whether you’re exploring the coastal city or making a day trip from Tel Aviv, these 5 food stops are absolutely worth adding to your itinerary.

Start with the market’s famous burekas – locals swear these are among the tastiest you’ll find anywhere in Israel. Next, hunt down the legendary Tunisian sandwich stand that’s been serving the same recipe for decades. The owner’s family recipe has become a neighborhood institution that travelers rarely discover on their own.

Don’t miss the quirky coffee shop with what locals call “the funniest parliament” – you’ll understand when you see the colorful political discussions over morning coffee. Their homemade cookies are equally famous and perfect for an afternoon treat.

The market operates daily except Fridays after 2 PM and Saturdays. It’s easily accessible by train from Tel Aviv (about 45 minutes) or Jerusalem (1.5 hours). Most food stalls accept cash only, so come prepared with shekels. This is where you’ll taste the real Israel, away from the tourist restaurants.
