Eating with locals @EatWith Jerusalem

EatWith is a simple website with a simple goal: to bring chefs and foodies together, one meal at a time.

 

The concept is threefold:

1. Browse menus: EatWith has a variety of available cuisines from over 600 talented hosts in hundreds of cities worldwide

 

2. Book a seat: with a range spanning from food entrepreneurs to home chefs, hosts are eager to have diners join them at their tables

 

3. Enjoy your experience: communal tables invite guests from all walks of earth to share meals and conversation

 

 

 

EatWith is especially interesting in Israel, as the opportunity to host or experience a family Shabbat is added to the traditional EatWith agenda. Jerusalem has jumped on the bandwagon with chefs and homecooks sharing their homes with hungry guests. Here are a few foodie options hot on the market right now:

 

Traditional "Shabat" dinner (with Chen, Alon and Beeri): This Jerusalem family has a passion for cooking, hosting and drinking wine. They base their cooking on ancient recipes from Jewish-North African cuisine, using fresh, local and season ingredients. Whether visiting from Tel Aviv or halfway across the planet, coming to this beautiful house in one of the most ancient neighborhoods in modern Jerusalem and taking part in a traditional Shabbat ceremony is a not-to-miss experience for any traveler.

 

A royal brunch buffet (with Chef Atalya): Chef Atalya began hosting this royal brunch buffet on her balcony six years ago. With a beautiful view of Ein Karem, a Smorgasbord of fresh vegetables from the garden and pastries baked just minutes beforehand, twenty incredible people who have never met before and chilled sangria to spark conversation, it's no wonder this event sells out so quickly. Grab your spot today, before it's too late.

 

 

Kosher Popup dinner in Jerusalem (with Maya and Yonatan): Chef Maya and her pastry chef husband, Yonatan, team up to prepare a heartwarming homecooked kosher meal from their Jewish upbringings. Before the meal, they'll welcome you to light candles in honor of the Sabbath, then dive straight into a number of century-old recipes from Maya's safta and Yonatan's family as well. The menu varies depending on availability and freshness of raw materials, but tastes delicious every time and leaves you smiling as you are reminded of your families, no matter how far away they may be.
