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...

Dallal Restaurant, Tel Aviv

Dallal is located in the heart of Neve Tzedek, Tel Aviv's oldest district and the first Jewish  neighborhood outside of the old port city of Jaffa.  It was built as a suburb in 1887 and is now a very trendy area full of cafes, boutiques, and restaurants.   I have been buying breads, cakes and croissants at the Dallal Bakery for a few years now, but this was my first time dining at their restaurant on the corner of Shabazi Street.   Dallal takes up a good chunk of the block since it was built on the ruins of three restored houses next to the Suzanne Dallal Cultural Center. There are a few sitting options while dining at Dallal: outside in the small garden-like area, in the enclosed courtyard with a view of the sky, and inside the restaurant which feels like old time Paris. Dallal is a perfect place for a fun lunch with friends, or a romantic dinner with your sweetheart. There are two lunch options at Dallal: 78 ILS for two appetizers and bread...

Hakosem, Tel Aviv

If you Google: Best shawarma in Tel Aviv, the name Hakosem is bound to pop up close to the top of any list.  It is very easy to find decent shawarma and falafel in Tel Aviv, but we wanted to try what is considered to be one of the best.  Hakosem located in a nice residential neighborhood is a food stand with plenty of tables and chairs set up on the sidewalk.  They serve superb shawarma, falafel, sabich, shakshuka, shnitzel, and veggies.            The line is pretty constant throughout the day, but it moves fast.  Free falafel balls are gifted to the  hungry customers to keep them happy while they wait.        I found the place to be very clean.     Freshly chopped veggies are continuously brought in from the kitchen in the back.         My husband could not resist the shawarma in lafa.  It was quite lar...
