CASA NOVA PALACE

This pleasant café-restaurant is part of the Casa Nova Christian hospice. It is located in the heart of Bethlehem, on Manger Square, right next to the Church of the Nativity. It's the perfect place, especially when the weather is hot (as it often is), to take a break and have something to eat after visiting the Holy Places. We particularly appreciate the outdoor tables, set in a pretty little garden. The restaurant is run by the Franciscans, like the hospice, and serves good, tasty food at very reasonable prices. Also ideal for a coffee or snack break.
