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 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...
