Sukkot is hands-down one of the best weeks of the year to eat out in Israel. There is nothing quite like grabbing a table outside, ordering a top-tier steak or a cold pint, and taking in the holiday atmosphere under a proper sukkah.


Whether you are craving prime cuts of Wagyu, high-end Mediterranean seafood, or wood-fired sourdough pizza, these kosher spots across the country have officially confirmed their sukkahs for Sukkot 2026.


Just a heads-up before digging in: tables in these sukkahs fill up fast. Lock in your reservations early and explicitly request sukkah seating when booking.
