Adraba Restaurant

October 2026

When I asked the eLuna community to recommend their favorite restaurant in Eilat, the name Adraba kept coming up. So I touched base with owner Shlomi. This is not his first restaurant, in fact it turns out that we know each other from the happy world of restaurants. How good it is to renew old friendships.

The new Adraba restaurant is located on the Dan Hotel Promenade. The photo below may look like Hawaii, but it is our very own, beautiful promenade in Eilat. Enjoy the Adraba ambiance on the outdoor patio under the trees, or inside in the beautifully designed interior.

Adraba is a meat restaurant with fish and vegetarian alternatives. This Kosher Mehadrin restaurant, right by the sea, is refreshingly unpretentious. The foods are delicious and are served with a whole heart. A born Yerushalmi, owner Shlomi has brought the soul of Jerusalem to Eilat. And when a Jerusalem soul meets an Eilat state of mind, a little magic happens. This is surely the most Yerushalmi restaurant that you will find south of Jerusalem.

Start your meal with "Chai" (18) fresh and colorful salads for NIS 36 (with a main course) served with home-baked mezonot chalah.

The starter dishes are packed with Jerusalem nostalgia. The restaurant calls its market salad the "Agrippa salad" made with fresh-from-the-market - as in the Machane Yehuda market - vegetables. The "Columns of the Kardo" salad contains vegetables grilled over fire, taking us back to the days of the fires of the Beit Hamikdash. What would a grill restaurant be without Lachmajun, rich in tehina, arisa, and spicy hot tomato sauce on bread. Are you thinking karban Lachmajun?

Adraba restaurant brings people around the table together with two shared dishes in the style of Avraham Avinu and Savta from the Katamonim. The Avraham Avinu shared Veal Asado is slow-cooked, bone-in veal short ribs an Adraba marinade, served over vermicelli rice. Savta from the Katamonim brought everyone around the table for her tender slow-cooked lamb ribs, served over a bed of vermicelli rice with fresh herbs and a crunchy crust. The 1 kg portion can be shared by two diners, as they did in the Katamonim. and the atmosphere feels like coming home.

Grilled meats are a specialty at Adraba. The restaurant offers close to a dozen different grilled meat shipudim (skewers). But everyone's favorite is pargit in Jerusalem marinade. If you like it simple, also on the grill, enjoy the basic No-Frills Entrecôte Burger. This is a juicy 220 g grilled beef patty in a fresh bun with lettuce, tomato, caramelized onion, and a side of crispy fries.

If you prefer steak, choose between 300 gram and 500 gram aged, Juicy Entrecôte Steak cooked in a Josper charcoal oven served with garlic comfit and fire-roasted vegetables. Veal Fillet Medallions Served with mashed potatoes, garlic comfit, and a red wine reduction sauce on the side. Or Charred Lamb Chops from the Josper Charcoal Grill Juicy on the inside served with vermicelli rice and caramelized onions.

When it comes to a grill, every Yerushalmi thinks of Gan Saker on Israeli Independence day. And so was born Independence Day Flat Iron Steak at Saker Park. Your Adraba Independence Day meal, served every day including Yom Haatzmaut, is a tender, juicy, flavorful 300 gram cut, sliced and cooked medium. Served with fire-roasted vegetables.

Non-meat eaters need not despare There are fish main courses and many vegetarian alternatives. Come hungry, leave happy, and let us take care of the rest. Good food, good people, and a little bit of Adraba magic.
