North Abraxas
Chef Eyal Shani’s gourmet restaurant takes on modern Israeli fare with an eco-friendly vibe, like serving the meals on a piece of paper on the table, no plates! This is our favorite for experiencing the best direction of how Israelis are using local ingredients yet keeping the style rustic.

Ha’Achim
From the same brother team (Asaf and Yotam Doktor), Ha’Achim and Dok have taken the reigns towards serving up the best of what’s local. Call it “farm to table” if you must, Dok is serving only what you find in Israel- the freshest fish, best olive oils, seasonal produce, boutique wines. Recent dishes include pickled mackerel salad, roasted kohlrabi and fresh chickpea and preserved lemon salad. Ha’Achim serves up some of our favorite dishes in the city. Ha’Achim has more vibe and the dishes are more diverse, in case that is what you are after.
