Brunch at Lehamim, Tel Aviv

I love Lehamim! This is one of my favorite bakeries in Tel Aviv, and their New York location-Breads Bakery, is my go-to place for breads, sandwiches, chocolate babka and marzipan rugelach.

I covered Lehamim in the past here

Somehow in the past I never made it to their Friday Brunch. I have to say that getting used to the schedule of having brunch on Friday and a normal workday on a Sunday was a challenge and we found ourselves confusing the rest of the week because of it. During this visit we finally got to taste the wonderful Friday Brunch at Lehamim. It was worth the wait!

This brunch is delicious, it offers a great variety of breakfast foods, it is beautifully presented on a long metal rectangular tray, and the bustling atmosphere of the bakery helps to set a fun and festive mood.

Let's discuss the details.

This is my favorite salad at Lehamim. It does not come with the brunch but I just can't resist it. I usually buy it and enjoy it on the beach as a nice snack.

This simple but spectacular salad is made with quinoa, pomegranate seeds, diced celery, green apple, parsley, and dates.

There is a choice of egg that comes with the brunch, but these scrambled eggs with onion, tomato, and herbs were simply outstanding. I found this dish to be divinely delicious, yet so simple. I hope that I can replicate it at home with great success.

The brunch tray comes with a wonderful tomato, cucumber, peppers, and sprouts salad which is seasoned with some olive oil, salt and pepper.

The four varieties of cheeses and fruit are arranged in the middle, and the small cups with egg salad, eggplant, smoked salmon, olives, and an exquisite herring are placed at one end of the tray. The truffles and a tiramisu are a nice treat.

The bread basket has a good variety of breads and a thick slice of challah.

After we ordered our food I had a chance to browse a bit through the bakery.

And as always, one must not forget to take in the heavenly scent.

My favorite place, however, to enjoy the delicacies from Lehamim is on the beautiful beach in Tel Aviv.

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...
