It's not hard to find dairy restaurants. There are lots of places here that make nice fresh salads with cheese and a few Asian restaurants where you can find tofu.

Nearly every restaurant in Jerusalem is kosher, meaning it has to choose between meat products (all meats, except fish, which is not considered a meat by Jewish law) or dairy products, but not both. You can easily find restaurants that are Milhig (with a guttural H) or Halavi (also guttural H) which mean dairy. There, all food will be vegetarian (again, may have fish.) Of course, it may not necessarily be vegan, then you'd have to ask. Parve foods contain neither meat nor dairy (but may contain fish and/or eggs.) Finally, what a hamburger is to America, Falafel and Hummus is to Israel. Almost anywhere you can find a decent and very cheap falafel, though often shwarma (rotisserie lamb or turkey) is served at the same establishment, so if that bothers you, keep an eye out, though the rotisserie is hard to miss.

Please help us improve this site...
Here, at HappyCow's Vegetarian Guide to vegetarian restaurants and health food stores, we strive to bring the most accurate information on Vegetarian Restaurant and Health Food Store listings to the internet. This site is made by vegetarian travelers for travelers (mostly), and we know how it is to travel across a new town in search of vegetarian food only to find that the restaurant no longer exists.  We also know that some of the Vegetarian Restaurants and Health Food Stores already posted might be out-of-date, and we apologize for that.

Get involved! Whether you are at home or traveling, please contribute to this site!
