Palestine has its share of fast food - falafel and shwarma and sandwich stands can be found at almost every corner. But what the infrequent visitor never learns is which of these seemingly look- alike vendors have earned the admiration of local connoisseurs. There is nothing laughable about Mickey Mouse submarine; "the best" one frequent visitor calls this Ramallah sandwich shop. With a substantial reputation for sandwiches on the go, the clean little eatery has a recent new hit- a thick fish sandwich added to its menu. Mickey Mouse submarine offers an array of roast beef, cheese, grilled chicken, turkey and burgers between buns. The cold sandwiches have that distinctive vinegar and basil flavor of the American sub or hoagie, and the grilled chicken has a rich charred taste. But the treat not to be missed is Mickey Mouse's thick fresh fish fillets stuffed into a pita with lemon slices and lettuce.

While all of the sandwiches cost less than $ 2, the fish sandwich for NIS 7 is a delicious steal. Probably the best thing about Mickey Mouse is that you can count on its kitchen for cleanliness. A small eating area is available upstairs (with stools at a counter on the ground level) for those who want to rest their legs. Beverages are the usual cans of soda and juice, but fresh carrot juice is available for $ 1 for those who want a healthy filling drink. Service is minimal (this is fast food, after all) but your stomach will be pleased nevertheless. Location: Directly off Ramallah's main street going from the Manara (city center) towards the old city of Ramallah, across the street from the Sound of Music gifts shop. Menu: Sandwiches and soda, but a change from the regular fare. No alcohol served.
