Bucke Cafe, Tel Aviv


I fell in love with Bucke Cafe, a wonderful spot for a delicious breakfast, lunch, or light dinner.   The café has a very warm welcoming vibe and the mismatched chairs, couches, a wooden hutch, and scattered photos and paintings, give it a very homey feeling.

I really liked this place before I even ordered anything. We were seated outside under umbrellas, which shielded us from the strong sun.  The place was filled with young families with small children, people working on their laptops, a nice couple on a date, and a group of friends enjoying a beautiful day.  Once the beautifully presented food arrived I began to plan my return visit.  I even asked for the menu again to see what else might be worth ordering once I come back.


The vegetarian menu is full of great and creative choices.


To say that the food was fresh and delicious would be an understatement.
This Bucke Tray of scrambled eggs, tuna salad, veggies, feta cheese, eggplant with Labneh topped with za'atar, and tahini, was a masterpiece of colors, flavors, and textures.  Everything was also incredibly yummy.


How great does this look?


The Bureka (I chose potato but they also have cheese and something else that I forgot), came with Labneh topped with tomato salad with spicy green peppers and red onion, tahini, hard boiled egg, and pickles.


When we visited Bucke Café a few days later my husband got this marvelous Sabich - tahini, oven roasted potatoes and eggplant, tomato and red onion salad mixed with spicy green pepper, parsley.  This was basically a deconstructed sabich which normally would come in a pita.


My scrambled eggs ciabatta with cucumber, tomato, arugula, was simple yet delicious.  The orange juice was freshly squeezed, and the tea had fresh nana (mint) leaves in it.

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

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

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
