The menu draws inspiration from Tel Aviv’s top restaurants and showcases creative twists on beloved Israeli street food classics. Each dish is a modern, sophisticated take rooted in the richness and simplicity of modern Israeli cuisine, highlighting the vibrant flavors that make Tel Aviv a global food destination.

Itzik brings with him international experience from some of Israel’s most renowned kitchens, including the Machneyuda Group, led by Chef Assaf Granit, the visionary behind Michelin-starred Shabour in Paris. His cooking tells a story—one that connects local ingredients with global flavors, tradition with innovation.
