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 traditions.  He uses a woo

North Abraxas, Tzfon Abraxas, Tel Aviv

Located steps away from the beautiful Rothschild Boulevard, Tzfon Abraxas is a spectacular restaurant serving mind blowing modern Israeli food in a relaxed and fun atmosphere.  Eyal Shani,  the man behind Tzfon Abraxas, Port Said, HaSalon, and Miznon (where cauliflower is king), is one of Israel's best known chefs.  He is a slightly eccentric figure and a passionate culinary genius.  Tzfon Abraxas and Port Said have a similar menu, but Abraxas seems to be quieter and a touch more reserved.  The setup here is very simple: a few paper covered tables, a party room behind closed doors, and some tightly squeezed together seats at the counter with the view of the open kitchen. Instead of tablecloths, the tables are adorned with brown paper, a tomato and some kosher salt, while  some of the food is served on pieces of cardboard or paper bags. The menu changes according to the freshness of the ingredients and their seasonality. . We began our lunch with these Jericho g

Port Said, Tel Aviv

Located across the street from the Great Synagogue of Tel Aviv, Port Said is one of the most popular restaurants in the city.  This restaurant is a brainchild of the iconic Israeli chef Eyal Shani of Tzfon Abraxas , HaSalon, and  Miznon . Most of the dining tables at Port Said are set up outdoors, and the interior of the restaurant is comprised of vinyl records stacked on floor to ceiling shelves, a bar with a small counter and the kitchen.    This is one of those restaurants with a very cool, young people vibe that not everyone would find appealing.  The wait for a table can be very long, the staff can be somewhat brusque, and the cigarette smoke might be bothersome.  The food, however, is spectacular. The menu at Port Said is very similar to Tzfon Abraxas and, just like there; it changes daily according to the season.  I was glad to see that they had this creme fraiche, tomato pulp and olive oil dip, which came with a couple of slices of challah. We ordered th
