Miznon Getzel, Tel Aviv


I fell in love with this cute little place, and I'm glad that it is in Tel Aviv; I  would weigh 500 lbs if I had this in New York.

While looking for a breakfast restaurant we happened upon this little spot.  They have a small menu consisting of salads, pancakes, and cakes; everything is made to order and spectacular.   They make a wonderful crepe cake, which is layered with a sweet cream.  

Everything on the menu is made with great care and with fresh ingredients. 




There are a few tables outside and three tables inside.




This place is packed with charm and personality, and it is beautifully decorated with nice country kitchen touches and eastern European detail.








I could see myself spending some real quality time sitting at one of these tables, hot tea cooling in a pretty cup, a plate of something delicious tempting me, and a good book in my hand.  


Blueberry, sour cream and whipped cream pancakes.


 These strawberry pancakes with sweet cream and whipped cream became my everything.  They were light, decadently sweet and delicious.


 The salmon, creme fraiche and egg pancakes.


Gouda, ham and egg pancakes.



We came back for another delicious breakfast a few days later.  It was so lovely to enjoy this delicious food, sip tea and watch the cats and a few people walk by.  It was quiet and peaceful even though we were so close to the Carmel Market.

  1. first watch menu restaurants are an American chain based out of Florida. The unique aspect about all of their outlets is that they are open from 7:00 am sharp but only till 2:30 in the afternoon. Their entire menu is a breakfast menu and a brunch menu combined. None of their outlets is open at night. Hence they don’t have a dinner menu at all. However, the First Watch Menu Prices are affordable and budget-friendly.

Bordier Butter - The Best Butter in France

France is in the midst of a butter shortage!  Due to a decrease in milk production and a substantial demand for French pastries all over the world (mainly China and the Middle East), the price of butter has increased by 60% in one year.  The French are stocking up and thus creating shortages.  French newspapers are publishing articles titled "A guide to cooking without butter".  So, with hopes that the shortages are temporary, here is my ode to the best butter in the world.  I'm not kidding.  The. Best. Butter. In. The. World. Mr. Bordier, a grandson and a son of cheese mongers, became a butter artisan in 1985.  He acquired a creamery originally founded in 1927.  The supreme taste of the Bordier butter was first recognized by a chef from the Plaza Athenee while vacationing in Brittany, a beautiful region in northwestern France. Bordier is the lone butter master to still use the old method of kneading the butter according to the 19th century t...

A. Lacroix Patisserie, Paris

My visits to Paris are usually carefully planned out; practically every meal is decided far in advance, and same goes for pastries, ice cream and macaron.  While I have not visited every pastry shop in Paris, that would be almost impossible given their numbers, I am aware of most of them.  Imagine my happiness when I came across a brand new patisserie, one that is barely a year old!   A. Lacroix is a lovely tea room/patisserie opened by an American woman and a Parisian pastry chef.  Jackie, the founder, is originally from Ohio but has been living in Paris for nine years.  She left her job in the telecom industry in order to pursue a dream of opening a tea salon.  I'm so glad she did!   This is a charming patisserie/tea salon with beautiful stone walls, wooden beams, plenty of seating space, and location that just can't be beat.  One side of the place looks at the Notre-Dame Cathedral! A. Lacroix is not just a pastry sho...

Indian Accent, NYC

Often when a question arises as to what to eat for dinner, I think of Indian food.  I am a very happy gal with chicken makhani, basmati rice, an onion kulcha or a nan laid out in front of me.  I have heard some very good things about Indian Accent, a relatively new restaurant in midtown Manhattan, adjacent to the Parker Hotel. The décor here is unlike most Indian restaurants I have visited; no boldly colored fabrics, beautiful tapestries, intricately carved wood, or lanterns.  Indian Accent restaurant looks like something that Daniel Boulud would envision.  There are about fifteen wooden tables and a few small booths, fabric covered modern chairs, a lit bar with glass shelves and golden accents throughout, and large glass vases filled with flowering branches. The menu is complicated, however, our terrific waiter took his time and explained each dish and even made some wonderful suggestions.  Actually, everyone at the restaurant was really professiona...
