Fodor's Expert Review Hadasaar

The brainchild of Hadas and Sa'ar Badash, this inviting eatery and store-cum–community center is bringing new life to the moribund Spice Quarter. The large space features an area selling hard-to-find organic ingredients, a funky secondhand shop, and several cases of fetching jewelry. Best of all is the sweet little café that sells coffee made with house-roasted beans. There's also an expansive vegetarian menu that includes organic gazpacho, freshly baked bread layered with local cheeses, and some of the best tahini cookies in Israel. A half hour spent in the sunny garden or browsing among the local products will leave you wanting more.
