Fodor's Expert Review Oasis

Chef Rima Olivera's 30 years of experience in the world's best kitchens and her principles of cooking set this eatery apart from the rest in the Tel Aviv food scene. The menu changes constantly based on the choicest seasonal ingredients, including those that are locally grown and those that are hand-picked from abroad. An open kitchen at this tastefully designed location lets you watch the charismatic chef in action. Every dish that comes out of her kitchen is packed with perfectly balanced flavors and cooked to perfection. Taste the gently seasoned zucchini salad with truffle oil for starters. Also recommended is the Vietnamese-style sea bream and the grilled beef fillet with black pepper and porcini “crème brûlée.” Be sure to end the meal with a palate-cleansing shot of green-tea milk with jasmine cream before dessert.
