Miznon, Tel Aviv



Loud, small, crowded, fun and delicious, those are a few words I would use to describe Miznon.   We came to Miznon for lunch on our way to the Tel Aviv Museum of Art, 40 minutes later; we left with our bellies stuffed, and big smiles on our faces. 

Miznon is a small place with a three-sided counter that surrounds the overflowing with fresh vegetables prep space.  The kitchen with a griddle is in the back. 

There are two locations in Tel Aviv and one in Paris.







The menu is straightforward; you choose what you would like inside the heavenly fresh, and pillowy pita.


There are fresh veggies everywhere.


 Some sauces for those who wish to pour a bit more on their sandwich, and pita slices for noshing while you wait.




 Miznon is on the list of "must try" while in Tel Aviv, I agree wholeheartedly.




We were able to score a couple of stools by the counter; a perfect spot for watching the men prepare the sandwiches.  The atmosphere was very lively and the music was loud.  After placing the order the customers gather around the counter and listen for their name to be shouted out.




 I was gifted a phenomenal 1/2 of a pita cauliflower sandwich that was delicious and packed with flavor.  I found it amazing that a simple pita with roasted cauliflower, tahini, scallions and a tomato slice, could be so irresistible.


 My husband loved his lamb kebab.


 Both pitas were filled with meat, fresh veggies and tahini.   My minute steak was delicious, but the cauliflower pita was so memorable; it kind of made everything else feel secondary. 


 Their signature dish is the roasted cauliflower. 


 I might need to try out some of the Miznon cauliflower recipes that are floating on the internet.

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...

Azura, Jerusalem

Azura, an eatery in the Machane Yechuda market was opened by Ezra, nicknamed "Azura" in 1952 after he emigrated from Turkish Kurdistan. These days, Azura, run by Ezra's nine children, has a cult-like status, and the crowds to prove it. Azura is not easy to find and your best bet is to enter it from the Iraqi part of the Machane Yechuda market.  It is almost impossible to find it from the street. The restaurant is located on a small square filled with older man playing backgammon and sipping tea, which just adds richness to the already wonderful atmosphere. The food is cooked slowly in these large pots over gas burners. The menu was so packed with delicacies, we had a difficult time choosing just a few dishes. We started our lunch with this wonderfully creamy hummus with warm mushrooms and onion, a combination which has always been my favorite. The tomato, cucumber, and onion salad came garnished with parsley and a healthy dose of ta...

OCD Restaurant, Tel Aviv

After our  first very memorable visit to OCD, we were eager to repeat the experience.  I booked our dinner about a month in advance since, deservedly, OCD has become much more popular in the last year or so.  They still do two seatings per night and one Friday brunch per month. There is something very exciting about the surprise aspect of the dining experience at OCD.  There is no menu; while booking the reservation one is asked about any dietary restrictions, and during the evening the diners watch each dish being meticulously prepared by the team in the open kitchen.  We marveled as we watched attention being paid to every minute detail and the choreography utilized by the chefs in assembling each plate.  This is more than a dinner; it is a theatrical production with spectacular and beautifully presented food. Our dinner began with this beautiful poori with cardamom leaves foam and cucumber ceviche. Marinated amberjack with soy and lemon, b...
