If your ever in Kiryat Shemona, you must stop by the Aish Beish Steakhouse. One of the best steaks in Israel!

Yesterday I took a very rare vacation day to go rafting down the Jordan river about 5 minutes from Kiryat Shemona. There were two trails, one that took about an hour and another that took 3 hours. My buddy and I took the shorter trail as we were acting as chaufers for a school. 

The rafting was nice and relaxing. When they gave us instructions and told us how careful we have to be at the rapids we were a bit excited. That is until we reached the “rapids” and it was about a 2 foot vertical drop that was over in about 2 seconds. What a feeling of adrenilin going fighting nature like that! Seriously though it was very pleasant and the next time I’m going to go with my family since I think  my older kids would enjoy it better.

The best part though is when the school decided to stay and play in the ajoining park for a couple of hours. That left me and my buddy Raviv a couple of hours to check out this mehadrin restaurant in Kiryat Shemnoa called Aish Beish just about five minutes away. This place was great! 

We ordered 2 orderes of meat empanadas to get started with. They were two empandas for 18 NIS. Twice the portion and 7 NIS cheaper then what you would normally get at El Gauchos. Personally I felt EL Gauchos was a bit tastier, but Raviv liked these better. In anycase the price and quantity made it more than worth it.

We then went to the main dish where we ordered a 500 Gram Entrecote Steak and an order of Lamb Chops. They each came with a salad and a choice of one side dish. So we took the rice and fries. The fries were way above average with some sort of crispy coating that made them stand out. Rice is rice, but they topped it with some sweet raisins and onions in the traditonaly Moraccan way that made it worth it.

The Steak was one of the best we had in Israel and easily was better then El Gauchos. It was grilled to perfection and tasted like heaven. The lamb chops was also a nice portion and were delicious.

A couple of complaints was that they don’t have Pita or lafa bread, just little baked loaves that you had to pay for and also when you sit down all they give you is a small shot glass of olives to munch on. If you wanted the standard set of salads you had to pay for it. When we asked for some techina to go with the lamb they charged us 7 NIS extra for it when really they should have thrown it in for free.

Other then that we had a great time. The atmosphere was amazing and the food was perfect. Can’t wait to go back again.
