ORGANIC PARADISE!

A picturesque restaurant called MESHEK BARZILAY awaited us on a beautiful rainy Saturday morning. Located in Neve Tzedek- one of Tel Aviv's  oldest districts, between the beautiful boutiques, galleries and craft shops, we couldn't wait to sink our Romanian vampire teeth into the organic local goodies that Meshek Barzilay serves.

There is an option for indoor seating or outdoor seating in the beautiful patio. It was such a beautiful rainy day we obvi opted to sit outdoors. The outdoor patio was surrounded by retractable glass walls, where we enjoyed to hear the rain tapping the windows and took pleasure of being surrounded by tall trees and delightful flowers.

We started with the CAULIFLOWER CLOUDS-  with chickpeas, raisins, peanuts, fresh chili, and green leaves on carrot cream- beautifully executed and rich in flavor. HERBED FOCACCIA- with olive oil and Tahini. POTATO GNOCCHI- Ali olio based on olive oil , cherry tomatoes and parsley, with a touch of chili, served with vegan yogurt, GREEK SALAD WITH FETA-  vegetables in season, pickled onions, olives, hyssop, and feta cheese, (there is a vegan option for the feta cheese- vegan walnut feta)



SHAKSHUKA- eggs or tofu in roasted pepper and tomato sauce, served with house bread, tahini and hummus.The shakshuka was so beautifully presented and healthfully colored that we flirted with it for a bit till we ached to feel how it tastes in our mouths. It was damn good, damn good!




Dessert- CHOCOLATE TRUFFLES-  and candied orange peels, tres attractive and utterly delectable! The truffles made us whimper sounds of pure pleasure!



For all you peeps with doggies, MESHEK BARZILAY is tres animal friendly and tolerant! How fun!

MESHEK BARZILAY is a highly recommended restaurant if you are in to devouring organic, delicious cuisine and leaving with a tummy full of goodness and a euphoric feeling!
