Restaurants in Israel Welcome back Diners

Bars and restaurants in Israel have opened their doors to people who have received the vaccine.

Israel, the world leader in vaccine rollout, has vaccinated over a third of its roughly nine million people. The country has delivered two shots of the Pfizer/BioNTech to the most vulnerable, as well as healthcare and essential workers, while five million Israelis have received a single shot.

The country launched its green pass programme last month, which allowed people who had recovered from Covid-19, or those who could prove full vaccination entrance, to pools, gyms and other businesses.

The New Identity of Israeli Cuisine

Gourmet pita bread, new Arab cuisine and microbreweries: how modern Israeli cuisine is turning the country into a new destination for gourmet tourism.

Yesterday’s reopening was a huge relief for the nation’s restaurateurs, and they can now look to a summer of some normalcy. Restaurants can welcome guests for indoor dining up to 75 per cent capacity, with a limit of 100 people, and with tables two metres (6.5 feet) apart. Outdoor dining does not require a green pass.

The vaccination campaign continues apace with the government aiming for the broad economy to be almost fully reopened, symbolically, in time for the Passover holiday, which begins on 27 March.
