Bakery · Café · Arad Religious Council

A family bakery on Elazar Ben Yair Street in Arad, more than 20 years old, that bakes its bread in a traditional stone oven and has a small café.

Beit HaLehem, the House of Bread, is a family bakery that has worked in Arad for more than 20 years, with recipes handed down from one generation to the next. Arad's tourism site says everything is made by hand, including the loaves baked in a traditional stone oven. The bakery also runs a boutique café with sandwiches, pizzas and coffee, where the fresh pastries can be eaten on the spot. The tourism site's culinary tour of the town includes it, and the Arad religious council's list of supervised businesses names both the bakery and its restaurant.
