I think just about every tour to Israel makes a trip to St. Peter’s Restaurant. Our tour did … and every tour I have looked at does. My mother went on an Israel tour back in 1978 or so … and her tour group went to St. Peter’s, too. So, if you go on a tour to Israel, chances are good that you too are going to have the opportunity to visit St. Peter’s Restaurant.

This restaurant caters to tour groups so there is a very large parking lot that accommodates several buses at any given time. Reservations are taken so there is no wait – or, we didn’t have one. In fact, the day we went to the restaurant, it wasn’t very full at all, at least not when we first arrived. There was a bigger crowd by the time we left.




There are a couple of comments I have to make about the menu. When I saw “baked potato,” I expected what we get here in the United States: a big foil-wrapped potato onto which is slathered butter, sour cream, cheese, and maybe chives and bacon bits. Not so. You’ll see a picture of the baked potatoes below. You’ll see why I spent some time wondering when they were going to be bringing out the baked potatoes.
The same could be said about the coffee the menu says we will get. What we got was a tiny, tiny taste of coffee. A couple of small sips. For a coffee drinker like me who can easily drink a pot of coffee or more, that was just a tease!
