Asado BaMidbar: Dead Sea Restaurant Near Ovnat

Overview

Asado BaMidbar is a local meat restaurant and culinary stop opposite Ovnat on Route 90, in the northern Israeli Dead Sea region. The restaurant sits within the same small tourism area used by Dead Sea Bikes and Rider, making it practical for travelers who want to combine an activity and a meal without returning to the Ein Bokek hotel district.

The food has a South American grill influence. Current sources describe smoked and grilled meats, sandwiches, burgers and family-friendly choices, with some non-meat alternatives. Menus can change, so treat those categories as a guide rather than a promise that a particular dish will be available.

Why stop here during a Dead Sea trip?

Dining choices are spread out along the northern shore. Asado BaMidbar is useful for travelers visiting Ovnat, Mitzpe Shalem, Kalia or nearby desert activities, especially when the day already follows Route 90.

This is not in Ein Bokek. If you are staying in the southern hotel area, check the route before deciding to make a special trip. It is a much more natural stop when exploring the northern Dead Sea or traveling between Jerusalem and the central section of the shore.

Food and setting

The restaurant focuses on meat cooked in a casual desert setting. The current offering may include smoked meats, grilled plates, sandwiches and simpler options for younger diners. If you need vegetarian food, have an allergy or follow a specific diet, call before arriving and ask what can be prepared that day.

Sources describe the restaurant as kosher, but certification and supervision can change. Travelers who require a particular standard should confirm the current certificate directly.
