Although name makes you think it's a coffee house, Cafe Batia is actually a restaurant serving typical homemade East European Jewish food - Knedelach, Chulent, Gefiltefish and chopped chicken liver (spread), the kind of food you eat on holidays, quite similiar to <a href="http://hungryintelaviv.blogspot.com/2009/07/keton.html">Keton</a>. Cafe Batia is one of the oldest Jewish restaurants in Tel Aviv and its history can be traced by the pictures on the walls, telling the story of Tel Aviv. The atmosphere is a bit rustic but the people working there are very friendly. </div>

Our recommendation - the goose leg. It's so good! Well in the pic it might not look that appetizing, but once you've tried the meat with the sweet-savoury-orange sauce, you will crave for more. You get two side dishes of your choice with the every main dish: buckwheat, rice, stewed vegetables and etc. If you want to eat something lighter, try the knedelach soup. It's chicken broth with 2 freshly made matze balls, usually eaten with Passover.</div>

If food surfing is one of your goals in Tel Aviv, so Eden is the place. This Persian restaurant provides a great Persian food experience and feeds its loyal clients for many years now.<br />
<br />
The waiter will happily detail all the unique dishes and styles of the kitchen. We remained solid this time and ordered the <b>Kebab</b>, highlighted also by the restaurant itself as one of their best dishes. Indeed, not many restaurants in Tel Aviv serve such flavorsome grilled meat, let alone the great Persian rice served with it - spiced up with spicy and sweet herbs. Very palatable. We also ordered the <b>Gundi</b>, which is a mixture of chicken and chick peas, cooked in chicken soup (a bit like <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matzah_ball">Matzah balls</a>). This one was a bit less impressive than the former (indeed tasted too much like a giant Matzah ball).<br />

Bet Ha Hummus (The Hummus House) probably won't appear in your Lonely Planet or any other (food) guide. It's too local. Yet this place serves one of the tastiest delicacies of the Lebanese cuisine - Fattah.<br />
<br />

</tbody></table>Fattah is made by soaking pita bread in 'chickpeas water' (water in which chickpeas were soaked) until they get soft. After that, the pita bread is mixed with hummus, tehina, larified butter, chunks of lamb meat which was fried in the butter and then on top of this all: fried pine nuts and freshly chopped parsley. WOW!<br />
<br />
This dish is absolutely amazing - you'll probably not find something that unique and local anywhere else in Tel Aviv. By the way - the normal/ plain hummus is not such a home run, so you can pass it (quite weird that's the case at this place, but rest assured we tried both).<br />
<br />

The fastest way to reach the place is by taking bus from Ben Zion Blvd. (near Dizengoff Center) and then going down on the second stop of Hashmonaim st. Then walk according to the map and you're there. (you'll recognize the place by the hole above the door - see picture)<br />

Black Bar & Burger surprised us very much. Being relatively new, we didn't realize that it will challange the other good old burger places in Tel Aviv, like <a href="http://hungryintelaviv.blogspot.com/2009/07/moses.html">Moses</a> or <a href="http://hungryintelaviv.blogspot.com/2009/07/agadir.html">Agadir</a>.

The meat is absolutely great - Full of flavor and good texture. The fries are also crunchy outside and soft inside - exactly how we like it. Like other burger places they serve steaks, chicken wings, spring chicken and etc. The only downside - is the location in the Azrieli center. Who likes to eat it in a mall?<br />
<br />
Between 12pm-5pm there's a business deal - You can combine the lunch there with shopping in the mall or going up to the <a href="http://mitzpe49.co.il/home">great view point of Azrieli buildings</a>.<br />

The flag dish of Aba Gil is the "full plate", which includes hummus, tehina, brown rice, red lentils, cooked green peas, cooked vegetables, and vegetable quiche or vegetable patties. It's hardcore organic and healthy food and no less tasty (maybe except the cooked veggies, but not everything have to be perfect). We especially liked the hummus (which is also served as a seperate dish), and the quiches.</div>

Carmela banachala is located next to the bustling Carmel market and you can tell it by the market inspired ingredients in their dishes. This semi-poshy bistro/ restaurant gives your palate a special tour through France, Eastern-Europe until the Middle-East with their well-prepared dishes.<br />
<br />
We ate a menu-set, which contained some vegetable appetizers, side dishes, fish and meat dishes. Unfortunately, not all of the dishes were equally delightful. The simple, fresh parsley, coriander salad and the roasted eggplant salad were Mediterranean-ly good:<br />

Jamilla offers delicious hearty dishes from the flavorsome Moroccan cuisin. It's a cute and small eatery-style place with a wide range of tajines, warming soups and couscous.</div>

The menu is different for each day of the week. But from what we ate it seems that you can have good meal each day of the week. We tried the chicken tajine with potatoes (served with delicious soft bread and some small salads of the day and tehina) and the couscous with chicken. Both great!</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Gedera 26 restaurant is exactly the type of restaurants which we like to see in Tel Aviv. Combination of great meat and seafood and pungent cold salads, all which taste amazingly good and made from fresh ingredients (and its location next to the Carmel market helps a lot with the latter).</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It's hard to define Gedera's cuisine explicitly: it varies from the Arabic cuisine to European style cooking. Some dishes even remind us of home-cooked food, and some resemble high quality French bistro-food. Eating at Gedera is a culinary experience.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The salads were fresh and delicious.We ate the wheat salad with cranberries (highly recommended); Mujaddara (rice with lentils) with yogurt (OK) and roasted fennel (surprisingly taste!). Salads come in a small or large portions (10/20 NIS).</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
For the main dish, we took the cold roast beef, which was finely spiced, giving it a great taste and texture (pricing is 30 NIS per 100gr). We also took the Chraime (46 NIS) - a dish which is inspired by the Jewish immigrants from Libya. This is a fish dish which is cooked with spicy tomato sauce and vegetables and tasted like more! (and don't forget to dip the bread in the sauce.) Thumbs up for using good quality fish.</div>

For our sweet tooth, we took the malabi. We must say that although we already ate the best malabi in town, we were still surprised by the malabi of Gedera. Its uniqueness is by being less "hardcore" than the rest, or in other words, not super-sweet. Instead, it's served with fruits (14 NIS).</div>

What a fine Italian restaurant Rustico is! It surely fits on the list of the best Italian restaurants in Tel Aviv, together with <a href="http://hungryintelaviv.blogspot.com/2010/03/pappas.html">Pappa's</a>: high quality pasta, fresh ingredients, fantastic flavors and great indoor design and atmosphere.<br />
<br />
Being very fond of linguini pasta, we were totally not disappointed by what Rustico had to offer: tuna linguini and seafood linguini. Both had a unique taste of its own: the fresh slices of tuna in a lemon-chili sauce with capers and Parmesan cheese were pungent and zingy in the right amount; the seafood sauce was more delicate, mainly made with shrimps, calamari and mussels, white wine and garlic. We did prefer the tuna over the seafood one, though.<br />

We ended the great meal with two amazing desserts: Frozen creme brulee which leaves your tongue with a soft and delicate sweetness once it melts; and a great panna cotta, with the right texture and flavor (although too sweet for some of us).<br />

We raved about Shimon chicken before, completely convinced that they are the only good rotisserie in Tel Aviv. Don't get us wrong, we still think <a href="http://hungryintelaviv.blogspot.com/2010/01/grilled-chicken-of-shimon.html" target="_blank">Shimon's chicken</a> is delicious, but they have a solid competition couple of blocks away: Tipico chicken!

<div style="text-align: justify;">
It's a bit more expensive than Shimon's, but it's not the same: Tipico uses a more flavorsome spice rub that contains paprika and coriander seeds. And because of the way Tipico grills the chicken, it's less greasy than Shimon's and a bit more delicate. </div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Tipico's potato wedges are great as well, and are baked with the grease and juices of the chicken. </div>

Abraxas North is one of the best restaurants in Tel Aviv, if not the best of them. It's not pretentious at all, as some will criticize, referring to the eccentric character of the Chef, Eyal Shani. The food is ridiculously good. It's not a budget dinner, so crack your piggy bank for it. We think that in this case we should just let the pictures speak for themselves.<br />

Although it's not really an American diner, Dixie does have an American feel when you step inside (the booths are doing the trick, we think). But it also has a romantic wine-and-dine vibe (and the dimmed lights are a give away in this case). A good way to describe Dixie and its food is: French kitchen meets Dyer's.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Their signature dish is the to-die-for chicken wings! Too buttery for some, but it's heaven on earth for the carnivores and chicken wings lovers. The chicken wings are finger-licking good, so make sure you don't miss out on it. We were very enthusiastic about the scrumptious chopped steak, served with mixed mushrooms and a pepper and cream sauce. This aristocratic hamburger is garnished with crispy fries (yet we asked for the normal fries since the crispy ones are more like potato fritters).</div>

<u>How to get there</u><br />
Dixie is located in the area behind Azrieli towers. Take any bus that goes to Azrieli (no. 63 near Dizengoff Center, 27 From Ramat Aviv), then walk straight on Kaplan, towards the Train station. The first big street you'll come across is Yigal Alon. Turn left till you hit Tozeret Ha'Aretz st. There Dixie is located.<br />

Yes, it's another local eatery post. We wouldn't mention it, if it wasn't worth eating there (really!). Most people don't know where to eat, when they're done strolling the Carmel market. That's why we want to open up this 'hidden world', the Yemen Quarter, for some outlanders.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Erez is not the only good place in this picturesque neighborhood, but they have a vast variety of food and it's all so good and cheap! They have the usual hummus dishes, skewers and Yemenite soup meals (but for the real soup experience, stop by at <a href="http://hungryintelaviv.blogspot.com/2009/07/rina-and-zcharia.html" target="_center">Rina and Zchariah</a>). <br />

But what we loved is the schnitzel dish and believe us, a good and affordable fresh schnitzel is hard to find. It's a simple dish: deep fried breadcrumb coated schnitzel and 3 side dishes. You can choose from: humnus, fries, white beans, green beans, rice, tehina or a chopped Israeli salad. Great value!</div>
It's recommended to come either before 12pm or after 1.30pm, if you don't want to stand in line for a seat.<br />
<br />
<div>
<u>How to get there</u></div>
To be honest most of the time we go there we lose our way, but still: You can reach the Yemen quarter by going through the narrow streets on Allenby st. on the right of the Carmel Market/ Nachalat Binyamin. See map for clearer instructions. (It's not recommended to go through the busy Carmel market.)<br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">Itzik and Ruti sandwich place is one of the mythical places in Tel Aviv that everybody knows and probably ate there. This friendly couple report for duty everyday (Sun.-Fri) at 05:00 to fill the demand of the masses that swoop in, and they close around 12:00pm when most of the food is over.</div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhpUFWOXJPdcqNkn8BXuyjdeiY6AfZ8DZ7l_6Krd4xkxFgF6g6x1y2jsZLJ1jUPjihA1NJjtQDs-CByqSyBrLemDsjDUQfbNlOcMO_87Jv756GpV_KU2y7AiINpEWQeVvC0KWis7573Al-Q/s1600/Itzik+and+Ruti+salads.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="159" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhpUFWOXJPdcqNkn8BXuyjdeiY6AfZ8DZ7l_6Krd4xkxFgF6g6x1y2jsZLJ1jUPjihA1NJjtQDs-CByqSyBrLemDsjDUQfbNlOcMO_87Jv756GpV_KU2y7AiINpEWQeVvC0KWis7573Al-Q/s200/Itzik+and+Ruti+salads.jpg" width="200" /></a><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">Itzik and Ruti serve the best sandwiches in Tel Aviv. You choose the size and type of the bread (whole wheat, ciabatta etc.) and fill it with one of their magical fillings such as eggplants, egg salad, avocado, tuna salad etc., and some vegetables if you like. Simple, but so good!</div><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">Among the famous Jewish East European restaurants in Tel Aviv - mainly <a href="http://hungryintelaviv.blogspot.com/2009/07/keton.html">Keton</a> and <a href="http://hungryintelaviv.blogspot.com/2010/09/cafe-batia.html">Cafe Batia</a> - Elimelech is one of the special ones, and certainly worth the longer tour to south Tel Aviv.</div><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">The uniqueness of this place is in its special style of cooking, which feels more local and less "mainstream", so to speak. We ordered the Brust, which is beef slices marinaded for 3 weeks before cooked in oven. Extremely good!

<br />
Sushkashvili, though designed more as a bar, is a very good tapas restaurant in the beautiful compound of the old Jaffa train station, known as "Hatachana". There are dozens of tapas: salads, grilled vegetables, spreads and dips, meat and fish, all to make your meal tasteful and colorful!<br />
<br />
We took at Sushkashvili an eggplant spread with a great fresh-out-of-the-oven bread, which was a great combination to start with. Then we went on eating red fish with burgul (quite good), beef chorizos (done very well), fish meatballs (was just OK) and beet salad with blue cheese (a bit disappointing). <br />

And they are not stingy with the portions at Shushka shvili, the prices are also quite affordable. Only the meat and fish dishes are up to 40-50 NIS, but the other dishes are cheaper. There is also a beautiful terrace outside, perfect for gazing over the Hatachana area (remember to make reservation for these seats in advance).<br />
<br />
<u>How to get there</u><br />
It will be a bit more convenient for you to take a taxi. From Tel Aviv center it should be around 30NIS. <br />
To reach Hatachana by bus, you can take bus no. 25 and go down at the first stop of Sderot Yerushalaim (Jerusalem Boulevard), then go backwards for 500 meters. Hatachana should be on the right of the main road (Kaufmann st.), behind the parking lot. Or bus no.18, it stops a bit before Sderot Yerushalaim. Ask the driver where to go down for the last station in Kaufmann st. (or say the station before Sderot Yerushalaim).<br />

</div><div style="text-align: justify;">There's a lot to choose from on Giraffe's menu and can be time consuming... Among the appetizers, we liked the tofu salad with vegetables and peanut sauce.

We rather eat sushi at a better sushi restaurant, like <a href="http://hungryintelaviv.blogspot.com/2009/07/sakura.html" target="_blank">Sakura</a> and <a href="http://hungryintelaviv.blogspot.com/2009/09/japanika.html" target="_blank">Japanika</a>.</div><div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

In Tel Aviv Bahadonas has two branches, one on Dizengoff, and one on Ibn Gvirol. For an unknown reason, the one on Ibn Gvirol is far much better than the other one.<br /><div></div><br /><div><u>How to get there</u><br />You can take bus no. 25 and go down at Pinkas station.

It seems almost impossible that among dozens fish restaurants in Jaffa you will still be able to find uniqueness and difference. Well, Abdu Hadayag ("Abdu the Fisherman") is one of them, as it stands out with their fresh home made mezes appetizers and good quality fresh fish. Actually, before Abdu established the restaurant, he was a fishmonger for restaurants, so let's say he knows good fish.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Like at other fish restaurants in Jaffa, the mezes are included in a main dish set - fish, seafood or chicken (yes, we know...., but some people want to eat chicken at a fish place!) - and can be refilled all the time. If you don't order a main dish, you pay 30 NIS for the mezes. </div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We took a Barramundi and Sea Bream (each 80 NIS), fried and grilled, as the waitress recommended. Both were great choices, but the Barramundi was tastier.</div>

Some people will like Abdu Hadayag more than other fish restaurants in Jaffa (although others like <a href="http://hungryintelaviv.blogspot.com/2010/07/rauf-et-atina.html">Rauf et Atina</a> aren't less good). It's totally air conditioned, cleaner and more friendly. It's recommended to make reservations during lunch time and always make reservations for the evenings (weekends especially).</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">Grillanda restaurant is the latest innovative and creative approach in the food business. Have you ever heard of a chef restaurant located on a farm and surrounded by fields and cattle? (in sheepfolds, don't worry). As you can see in the picture, you're surrounded by nature and there's an amazingly relaxing atmosphere.</div><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5508698227928841826" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEju4y19vtNnNxJVL6ATd3DSoMtG0xwhX0bpnMt9M3Xlqdz1QAPDtwyZLTP28hBXLLl6QGg1cpREOfTGFCeUkwiT1maRUsmlDN5xGejOPSv3O6LgMnh3z1M0NQj1bi2QfEYPXdO2sEe1zxGu/s200/Grillanda+oven.JPG" style="cursor: pointer; float: right; height: 125px; margin: 0px 0px 10px 10px; text-align: justify; width: 150px;" /><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">The menu is basically tapas, mostly vegetarian. We started our meal with tehina with garlic (highly recommended!) and ate it with their freshly baked focaccia. Among the larger tapas dishes, we took the cauliflower salad (great!), eggplant prepared in ametal brick-oven (it's a bit spicy, but this is also great with the focaccia), and the vine leaves stuffed with rice - a common Middle Eastern delicacy, served with a pungent yogurt sauce. The only dish which disappointed us was the sous herring.</div><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">The price range of the dishes of Grillanda is 20-25 NIS per one tapas. They also have a bit more expensive dishes like a plate of cheeses or coldcuts - above 50 NIS. For the budget gastronoms it's better not to come too hungry (you need min. 4 plates to be really full).</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Grilanda restaurant is indeed highly recommended, and the vast open area around the tables makes it a perfect place to come with family and kids (only if the latter appreciates gourmet :-)). It's not really in Tel Aviv, but it's a great excursion.</div><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;"><u>How to get there</u></div><div style="text-align: justify;">To get to there place by car, you need to enter Ganey Yeoshua parks from Ramat Gan. You can go on Rokach st. in Ramat Gan (don't confuse with the one of Tel Aviv which intersects with Ibn Gvirol), which can be reached through Aba Hillel st. In front of 74 Rokach st., turn towards the path which leads to a parking lot (where you park free of charge). The entrance to the farm is near the orange guard house.</div></div><div style="text-align: justify;">For those who wish to get to the place by public transportation, you can go on bus 20 (from Dizengoff center), and go down on Aba Hillel, Rokach station. Go up on Rokach st. and walk approximately 600 meters according to the directions as mentioned here above.</div>Daniel Ahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13011837370566252531noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5196724305167555942.post-89482552459039262792010-08-14T17:55:00.000+03:002010-08-14T17:55:17.932+03:00Shmaya<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi4aoMLNRD7r73C_ma9TWoz_CEqmaU7aQNAbbz0YN0y8Ytufl1MEZRuqLZTqitrtNEnsRapx52qJ2DJ9pCPcCkpyEzPV1e81QSFV3rwLzgZk37lKBlwdgi221ZnwglUzBn8JPkkULGiW4wG/s1600/Shmeya+inside.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5492266472527935666" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi4aoMLNRD7r73C_ma9TWoz_CEqmaU7aQNAbbz0YN0y8Ytufl1MEZRuqLZTqitrtNEnsRapx52qJ2DJ9pCPcCkpyEzPV1e81QSFV3rwLzgZk37lKBlwdgi221ZnwglUzBn8JPkkULGiW4wG/s200/Shmeya+inside.JPG" style="cursor: hand; float: right; height: 150px; margin: 0px 0px 10px 10px; width: 200px;" /></a><b>Type: Local eatery, Jewish</b><br />

In the Florentine area, the local eatery Shmaya is legendary. It's a hole in the wall and indeed a fantastic discovery. Shamaya, the lovely owner, prepares the food by himself, which is characterized by its Jewish and Middle Eastern influences.<br />
<br />
<div style="direction: ltr;">
Basically you choose a main course, which is served with some side dishes, such as stewed vegetables, rice, different types of beans and etc. We took the stuffed eggplant with minced beef and herbs and stuffed yams (the latter also known as "batata"), which were delicate and tasted very homy, so to speak. Though usually after eating in local eateries food coma is inevitable, Shmaya's food is relatively light and "sits" well, as Israelis like to say. Shmaya also has good vegetarian dishes and other stuffed vegetables.</div>

The place doesn't have an English menu. But the people working here are so warm and friendly, they will be more than happy to explain it to you. </div>

Sofia Restaurant is little Bulgaria in the heart of Tel Aviv, which provides the taste of the Bulgarian cuisine - salads, pastries, soups and (a lot) of meat. So, the menu of Sofia fits vegetarians and carnivores as well.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
We tried the Shopska salad, which is a normal Middle Eastern salad with amazing Bulgarian cheese (tastes like Feta chesse), and also the fries is topped with this cheese. What can we say, this cheese really does the trick for these two! No wonder it's a main ingredient in this cuisine. The eggplant with garlic spread (Kiopolo) is also great, but too bad the bun which is served with it, is not that fresh.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
As for the main dishes, we took the Moussaka, which rocks! This Bulgarian version of this oven dish uses a yogurt layer on top instead of bechamel, and has less eggplant than the Greek moussaka - Quite a good one! We also took the Kebab, which was quite OK and is served with rice and salad. Also, we ordered the chicken meatballs, which are braised with a yummy sweet and sour tomato sauce (served with rice).</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
One thing to note about Sofia - it's relatively cheap. All the main dishes noted above cost less than 40 NIS. Although you can find some better meat restaurants in Tel Aviv (not to say the meat in Sofia is bad), the combination of the special flavors of the salads, appetizers and sauces makes Sofia an affordable place which is worth a visit very much - and the flock of people is an evidence for that (make reservations for lunch times).</div>

One reason to go to Jaffa's to eat is for their fish restaurants. We were looking for a good one and we fell in love with this Jaffa look-and-feel fish restaurant (and the local presence also hints that).</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
The traditional way in these fish restaurants is to order the fish and with it you'll get plenty of yummy mezes - such as: humus, tehina, fries, eggplant salad, pickled salad, cucumber salad, carrot salad, olives and pickles, parsley salad, tabbouleh salad, spicy tomato salsa etc. You'll also get some bread and pita and everything can be refilled all the time. Watch out though, do not fill your stomach before the fish is served! (a common mistake of beginners).</div>

The fish (a whole fish, not a fillet) can be grilled or deep fried (grilled is a better choice). We took a sea bream and a European Seabass, and enjoyed the latter more. By the way, you can easily share a fish dish with two persons, but one person will have to pay 30NIS for the salads. This is still very much worth it.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In Kedem st. you have some other famous fish restaurants, including the nearby Hazaken ve hayam (the Old Man and the Sea). Although it's quite popular and offers more salads then Rauf et Atina, we think is less in quality and less tasty. If you are a looking for another fish restaurant (which is also not that far into the margins of Jaffa) try <a href="http://hungryintelaviv.blogspot.com/2010/09/abdu-hadayag.html">Abdu Hadayag</a>.<br />

Manta Ray serves the fish gourmet style and you can tell by the flavor. We took a sea locus (Golliath Groupe) which was absolutely great, and a fish kebab, which disappointed us a bit (sorry but no pics for that).<br /><br />People like this place so much because of its variety of mezes (18 NIS each), ranging from vegi dishes to fish salads.

Once you get there, you have a variety of breakfast meals on Manta Ray's menu: shakshuka, salads, French toast, pancakes and so on. We got the breakfast for two: 2 eggs (scrambled, omelet or sunny side up), chopped Israeli salad, unlimited bread, buns, scones and muffins, jam and cheese spreads and two freshly squeezed orange juice. We also added the Mullet Ceviche, which had a very special soury taste.
