56 HaMeyasdim Street, Wilder courtyard, Zichron Yaakov
A wine bar in an old stone cellar in a courtyard on Zichron Yaakov's pedestrian street, serving cheese and smoked-meat meals with Israeli and imported wines
Amos Maroz, a theatre producer who left Tel Aviv for Zichron Yaakov with his wife (and, as its site notes, the father of Guy Maroz), turned an old stone cellar in the Wilder courtyard on HaMeyasdim Street, the town's pedestrian street, into a wine bar. Its site says it has been open for 33 years, and when Rest's magazine interviewed him in 2019 it called him the owner for the past 28. By its own account the building served as a jail under Ottoman rule; Maroz told Rest it was built in the Turkish manner, with arches and stone, and that he renovated it keeping the old style. Steps lead down into a room of stone walls under a bell-shaped ceiling, with tables in the entrance and in an inner room among shelves of old bottles, and French and Italian music of the 1950s to the 1970s playing. The menu is short: meals of cheese, of smoked beef and goose in the cellar's own sauce, or of both, for two or for four, plus a salad and one dessert, beside a list of more than 80 wines, from a house blend made for the cellar to old Bordeaux ordered ahead. Its site describes Maroz as a friend and admirer of the late Rafi Nelson, whom it calls a wine legend and whose path it says he continues, and Rest has listed it among places for a marriage proposal.

Sources disagree on these hours
These are the hours on its own site, which leaves Monday out; Rest gives no Monday hours either, and its Google listing has it closed on Monday. Its about page adds that a table from 13:00, on any day, can be arranged with the cellar in advance. Rest, whose listing was updated on 13 September 2026, has it open until midnight on Thursday and Saturday, and from 12:00 on holidays. Its Google listing, as Restaurant Guru copies it, closes at 22:30 on Sunday, Tuesday and Saturday and splits Friday into 12:30 to 16:00 and 19:00 to midnight.

Martef HaYain HaAtik is a bar at 56 HaMeyasdim Street, Wilder courtyard in Zichron Yaakov, in the Haifa District. Behind it: Founder Amos Maroz. It is also a restaurant.
It publishes its menu on martefhayainhaatik.rest.co.il; 18 of its dishes are listed below with their prices, as read on 29 September 2026.
Hours, as listed on martefhayainhaatik.rest.co.il on 29 September 2026: Sunday 18:30 to 23:00, Monday closed, Tuesday to Thursday 18:30 to 23:00, Friday 12:30 to 00:00, Saturday 12:30 to 23:00.
The nearest railway station is Binyamina, 6.6 km away. The nearest bus stops are זבוטינסקי/הנדיב (110 m), המייסדים/הנדיב (123 m), הנדיב/המייסדים (125 m). HaMeyasdim is a pedestrian street here. OpenStreetMap maps several car parks 75 to 180 metres away, the nearest about 75 metres to the east; one about 170 metres to the south is marked free.
It shows no kashrut certificate and is not on the Zichron Yaakov religious council's list of April 2026. Its menu calls its smoked beef and goose kosher meat, and Rest lists it as not kosher. The box on its site about the business's accessibility says only "ramp", and the accessibility statement it links covers the website, not the cellar. Its Google listing, as Restaurant Guru copies it, marks it not wheelchair accessible, and Rest's magazine describes going down steps into the cellar. No source mentions the toilets.
The name does not appear in the Companies Registrar, which points to a sole proprietorship or partnership rather than a company. Zichron Yaakov does not publish its business licence register online, so the licence could not be checked.
