| The Tent Restaurant on CNN - Sprawling over a hillside above the Shepherds' Fields where, according to the Bible, angels announced the birth of Jesus this huge restaurant is a bit of a tour-group fixture and worn at the edges after 18 years | |
|---|---|
| Yet the tent-style canopy, low tables and striped rugs successfully conjure up Bedouin style while bougainvillea-shrouded terraces add extra appeal | An enticing menu includes hot and cold meze, tabbouleh and fattoush salads, makdous baby eggplants pickled with walnuts, garlic and spice , spicy sausages, grills, chicken liver with pomegranate molasses -- plus wine, beer and gurgling nargileh pipes |
Upon arrival, you will immediately be enchanted by the sight of the palm trees, olive orchards, and native plants surrounding the Tent Restaurant, with the mountains of Bethlehem and Jerusalem, only two kilometers away, as the backdrop.
