As Fassuta decks itself out for Christmas and the village embraces the holiday spirit, Aviva Khoury invites you to her home for a warm, generous Galilean lunch. On her heated terrace—in a cozy, homey atmosphere—a table awaits, laden with dishes Aviva prepared with love, featuring local flavors and traditional recipes.
We will begin with an assortment of fresh, homemade salads, including fattoush, chicory, sweet cabbage with almonds, carrots in a sweet chili sauce, cherry tomatoes with pesto and cheese, hummus, Turkish salad, and pickles. These will be accompanied by traditional pastries such as fatayer, sambusak (filled with cheese or meat), and musakhan.
Next, the table will be filled with stuffed grape leaves and zucchini, vegetarian maqluba, and chicken thighs stuffed with vegetables, served alongside freekeh. For dessert, enjoy Christmas cookies with coffee or tea.
After the meal, take a stroll through Fassuta’s decorated streets to admire the holiday displays and soak up the village’s unique atmosphere during this special time of year. Enjoy a home-cooked meal, heartfelt hospitality, and a Christmas atmosphere in a Galilean village—a delightful winter experience.
Price: 120 NIS per person; 100 NIS for children ages 3–10
