Rento Delicatessen Offers a Must-Stop Culinary Escape in Northern Israel

Rento, a charming delicatessen and café located in Yesod HaMaala, northern Israel, provides a delightful culinary escape for visitors traveling north. Founded by culinary veterans Mushiko Maman and Shir Ben-Movchar, the couple realized their dream of opening a specialty shop after 20 years in Tel Aviv. The store features a rich selection of wines, cheeses, charcuterie, and gourmet products sourced primarily from skilled producers across the Galilee region and beyond.

The delicatessen offers boutique sausages from a Petah Tikva charcuterie, cheeses from the Barkanit dairy, and unique items like Greek goat cheese with fenugreek, Spanish quince marmalade, and pecans from Hillel. Customers can enjoy a relaxing atmosphere with a plate of premium cheeses and meats paired with refreshing rosé wine, complemented by a gentle late-summer breeze.

Rento also stocks over 120 wine labels, including natural, sparkling, and Burgundy wines from local small producers such as Boaz Mizrahi, Adam from Libero, Uri Hatz, and Naama Surkin. Beyond delicacies, the café serves gourmet sandwiches, toasts, pastries, quality coffee, and natural juices. The founders emphasize the importance of well-being, offering a space to unwind, enjoy good music, and rejuvenate the spirit with excellent food and drink.

Located at 130 HaMoshava Square in Yesod HaMaala, Rento is both a destination for a pleasant stop and a place to stock up on fine foods for home. The founders’ passion for quality and local producers makes it a unique culinary gem in the north of Israel.
