Welcome to the Tent Restaurant, located in the Shepherd’s Valley Village - Beit Sahour - on the way between the Shepherd’s Fields and the Nativity Church, only one kilometer away. Upon arrival, you will immediately be enchanted by the sight of the palm trees, olive orchards, and native plants surrounding the Tent Restaurant, with the mountains of Bethlehem and Jerusalem, only two kilometers away, as the backdrop. When you step inside the dining area, you’ll immediately be met by rich décor - Bedouin style rugs on the floor, romantic golden glass lights above, and a hand chiseled stone entryway to the dining area. You’ll also enjoy the delicious scents emanating from our kitchen as you settle down to relax at the low tables and couches spread with Bedouin style tapestries and begin your gastronomic journey in an authentic, family friendly atmosphere. In step with the traditional hospitality that we offer, you’ll be promptly attended to by our attentive wait staff, eager to show our honored guests what Middle Eastern hospitality is all about.
The Tent Restaurant on CNN - Sprawling over a hillside above the Shepherds' Fields (where, according to the Bible, angels announced the birth of Jesus) this huge restaurant is a bit of a tour-group fixture and worn at the edges after 18 years.
Yet the tent-style canopy, low tables and striped rugs successfully conjure up Bedouin style while bougainvillea-shrouded terraces add extra appeal.
An enticing menu includes hot and cold meze, tabbouleh and fattoush salads, makdous (baby eggplants pickled with walnuts, garlic and spice), spicy sausages, grills, chicken liver with pomegranate molasses -- plus wine, beer and gurgling nargileh pipes.
