MEET HARRY RUBENSTEIN
Your culinary guide to the markets of Israel
I’m Harry Rubenstein — a pastry chef, culinary storyteller, and market obsessive with over two decades of experience eating my way through Israel’s vibrant open-air markets.
Since 2017, I’ve been leading immersive food tours through Tel Aviv’s Levinsky Market and Jerusalem’s Mahane Yehuda, helping curious travelers discover Israel’s true flavor: in the spice-laden alleyways, the family-run bakeries, the Georgian khachapuri ovens, the peppery pickles, and the voices of the people who cook, serve, and sell it all.
These aren’t just tastings — they’re stories.
My tours blend Israeli food history, immigrant influence, and street-level culture, weaving through old kiosks and new culinary upstarts. You’ll meet the market vendors, sample the legacy of Jewish diasporas, and understand how politics, migration, and memory shape what’s on the plate.
Whether you’re here for the Sephardic bourekas, Iraqi kubbeh, or just the wild smells of a spice stand at noon — my job is to give you context with every bite.
Israel’s markets are loud, messy, soulful, and delicious. They’re the real museums of Israeli cuisine — and I’ll help you explore them like an insider.
Come hungry. Leave full — of food, stories, and a deeper understanding.
