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...

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...
