Ada Restaurant Revives Historic Rothschild Building in Rosh Pina with Kosher Culinary Experience
Ada Restaurant, located in the historic northern Israeli town of Rosh Pina, offers a unique kosher dairy dining experience in a building gifted by Baron Rothschild in 1890. Originally constructed as a silkworm factory, the building suffered damage from a rocket attack in 1966 launched by militants from Lebanon. Years later, the local council restored the site, and brothers Eliran and Inbal transformed the adjacent engine room into Ada, a restaurant named not after a person but symbolizing generous hospitality.
Situated on David Shuv Street, named after one of Rosh Pina’s founders, Ada serves a daily-changing menu inspired by local agricultural produce and the culinary creativity of chef Inbal. The menu features a refined selection of dairy dishes and fresh fish such as sole, sea bream, and trout, prepared with seasonal vegetables, herbs from the Galilee, and delicate sauces. The restaurant caters to diverse dietary needs, including vegan and gluten-free options, and is ideal for breakfasts, brunches, small events, and family gatherings.
Beyond the food, Ada embodies craftsmanship and history. Eliran, the son of a carpenter, personally built much of the restaurant’s interior, creatively repurposing elements like a large door into a dining table with a special coating. The restroom area also features unique artistic touches, including a red telephone and distinctive fixtures, enhancing the overall atmosphere. Ada combines culinary art with historical preservation, offering visitors a memorable experience in the heart of Rosh Pina’s historic district.
