We sat outside on the “balcony” which is practically the street, but it felt super cozy. There were blankets left on the chairs and lighting the colored our close surrounding in warm colors. I was surprised I’ve never noticed this place before. Our waitress was very correct, knowledgeable and just generally gave us great service.

Although starter and mid plates are obviously not mains, the portions were still pretty small. The ravioli totrofu was a little bit underwhelming and missing some depth and strength of flavor. Most dishes were also missing some salt.
The star of the meal was the veal cheek gnocchi. This was hands down the best gnocchi I’ve had in Israel. Thesebwere super delicate, melting in your mouth. The sauce had a lot of flavor depth in it.

We continued the meal with some home made lemon chello (great!), and tiramisu for desert. I’m a picky tiramisu eater, and this one was great.

The entire experience felt “un-Israeli”, from a different time, from a different place, living in it’s own small bubble.

Overall we’d definitely come again

This was a very interesting and fun experience. Literally food for thought. Most of the dishes were interesting and deep both texture and flavors wise. The service was overall superb, with the cooks also being the ones serving the food.

The olive oil jam is the invention of the century.

Can’t wait to come again!
