January 16, 2019 15:36Israel is on a bit of a high, with a whopping 4.1 million tourists visiting last year — 14% up on the year before. A big reason for the trips must have been the food, with Tel Aviv emerging as a foodie destination.
Jerusalem has traditionally held the crown as Israel’s kosher capital - where fine-dining is concerned in particular — whereas Tel Aviv was traditionally too treyf for more obervant eaters. However there have been a few new openings serving five star food for kosher eaters, and with top of Israel's top chefs at the helm.
Chef Yoram Nitzan, previously head chef of the Mul Yam and Bindella restaurants, has, this month, opened in the InterContinental David, Tel Aviv. Nitzan's food is mixes global cooking techniques with indignenous Israeli flavours. The fish, meat and vegetarian dishes include slow-roasted goose leg; Dover sole in a turnip lemongrass broth and a ‘Five Shades of Cappuccino’ dessert.
