There are a number of national traditions in Israel, one of which is the consumption of shawarma (preferably in pita bread). In Tel Aviv one of my favorite fast food spots is on the corner of Dizengoff/Frishman Street. This busy and well known establishment is called Yashka which serves two types of [...]
There are many Tel Aviv restaurants but only one Shila. It's my family favorite for special occasions and a 'pop in' for a drink and a munch at the bar for hubbie and I when he wants to spoil me! This was one such lunchtime. Hubbie fed up peering at me from across the [...]
Sashaying their way back from Singapore to Tel Aviv I met with my enthusiastic expat friends for a catch up in the Carmel Market. The weather unfortunately was detrimental to a long shopping expedition but drove us to a gasping thirst that only high humidity can. So, in search for a very long [...]
How do you rally up the romance in your life? A delectable dinner on the Tel Aviv Port perhaps... What lucky parents we are to have such sweet offspring, who surprise and delight us with a mouthwatering meal for two at Yulia restaurant situated on the southern end of the Port [...]

Not needing much encouragement, I stopped being a whirling dervish and accompanied her to the Hotel Montefiore for a bountiful breakfast in a bijou setting. I am somewhat amazed (but always thankful) for my [...]
I always 'see' food but have an appetite for Seafood! A lunchtime fish feast in Tel Aviv with hubbie and youngest brought us to Goocha. This well known seafood establishment is situated on the corner of Ben Gurion Boulevard and Dizengoff Street in busy mid town. It boasts outside table seating (preferable) and inside regular [...]
Having not indulged in enough food during the holidays, my sweet man decided to treat us to a meze restaurant in Tel Aviv. Wisely choosing an establishment that is one of the family favorites, Ozeria in south Tel Aviv we were looking forward to an evening of simple Greek [...]
We do love our lunch, my man and I, and as Tel Aviv supplies the most diverse lunch cuisine there is never a problem of where to eat but just what.. Today we felt in an Italian mood. After discussing past holidays it gave us 'food' for thought and [...]
