After visiting the monastery, we drove toward Haifa, stopping a small Druze town called Dalyat el Carmel for lunch.
The lunches have been fairly expensive to far - $25 - but this one was definitey worth it, because our guide was with us to help introduce us to authentic local food.
We started with a round of "salad" which included several small plates featuring olives, pickles, hummus, eggplant, something similar to salsa, tabuli, and falafel - a ball of fried chickpeas. It came with pita bread and another very thin bread - thinner than a tortilla.
I especially loved the falafel, tabuli and hummus.
Following the salad round, we had a choice of chicken kebabs or lamb kebabs. We tried both and both had favorable reviews.
Our lunch was topped off with small pieces of baklava - delicious.
