Goodies were opened by Ronit Ron and is something she started dreaming of while living in Paris. While there she saw a small ice cream shop selling ice-cream and pasties. It was only open three days a week but he lines went round the block with no promotion at all. After moving back to Israel she decided to make something of that dream.

HOTEL MONTEFIORE,

36 MONTEFIORE STREET, TEL AVIV

French/Asian Cuisine, Brasserie, Resto — Bar Hotel Montefiore

The restaurant is located in the Hotel Montefiore, on street of the same name. The hotel is a well known architectural masterpiece from the 1920’s. While in most restaurants the building is not a major attraction, the restaurant prides itself being set in a beautiful building.

As fusion cooking descended as a strong trend in fine cuisine the styled brasserie saw an opportunity to take the fundamentals of French cooking and brings fresh, new flavors with Asian accents to the dishes.  It bases itself off the idea of Vietnam when it was still under French colonization and had a rich French element to the culture. Its standout dishes are its fish dishes, simple and full of flavor.

The restaurant allow for a stylish outing in all hours of the day — during the mornings the experience is more elegant and respectable while the evening have more of a vibrant and fashionable atmosphere.

During the morning and lunchtime hours the hotel is a very quiet and elegant place to meet and chat. In the evening hours the restaurant and hotel lobby is transformed to a place for those looking to enjoy a meal with the fashionable crowd pulsating with a great vibe and feel.

The minimalistic black and brown and white decoration keeps it in the 1920 but with a modern feel. The wooden floor, leather chairs and silver ornaments provide plenty of great undertones to keep it new interesting.

THE SIX TLV,

Bistro French cuisine 110 JABOTINSKY STREET, TEL AVIV

When you eat at Six TLV you are definitely in Tel Aviv but you definitely could be in Paris as well.

The main reason for this is that it seems that Chef Amir Markowitz and his partners put great thought in to all the details to make the restaurant feel and sing from Paris. It still remains a friendly and inviting place.

The menu sent Chef Markowitz to Paris where he worked and allowed him to collect endless inspiration for great flavorful dishes such as a classic onion soup with pieces of baguette and grated cheese, seared red tuna and Nicoise Salad with anchovies. These traditional favorites are joined by crab specialties and other sea food dishes. You won’t leave without tasting the homemade baked goods that just adds further French feel to a wonderful meal.

110 Jabotinsky Street, Tel Aviv, Opening hours: Sun-Fri 08:00-23:00, Sat 10:00-23:00, 03-6968581
