After a full day of visiting Nazareth's shrines, you can quench your thirst with the locals at one of the little Arab restaurants along Paulus VI Street. Dinner here usually means hummus, shish kebab, baklava, and the like. Decor is incidental, atmosphere a function of the clientele of the moment, and dinnertime early. Needless to say, reservations aren’t necessary, and dress is casual. If looking for more upscale dining, several high-end restaurants have opened in the past few years, serving traditional Arab and fusion fare.
Try the unbeatable Arab pastries at this bakeshop. The place serves wonderful bourma (cylindrical pastries filled with whole pistachio nuts), cashew baklava, and great halvah. Don't confuse this spot with Mahroum Bakery: look for the Arab pastries, not gooey Western cakes.
