CRUSADERS, OLD PORT, CAESAREA

Located in the beautiful old port of Caesarea, overlooking the ancient ruins and the Mediterranean coast, Hazalbalim is a great place to stop for lunch, before embarking on the ruins of this historic town.

Hazalbalim or Crusader's restaurant sits prominently at the entrance of the old port and with tables set outside ready for lunch, it welcomes its guests longingly with open arms and the expanse of the coastline as its greeting.

The menu features fresh seafood dishes with a Mediterranean influence. The salad starters with warm bread and olive oil are very satisfying, however the fried cauliflower and roasted aubergine with tahini dressing are very filling and more than enough for a light lunch.

The seafood main courses are cooked from the freshly caught fish and the house specialities change regularly. Steaks and kebabs are also on the menu and cooked to order.

You could not find a calmer, more romantic and relaxing place to eat, surrounded by the beauty of Caesarea.....an truly unforgettable culinary experience.....
