STEAKS, WINE AND MOVIES!!

HATRAKLIN restaurant. One of the most magnificent eateries ever. Literally! We still can't believe we found this gem of a restaurant!!!

                                                         Happy Birthday Ornela!

Located right next to the beautiful Rothschild Blvd and the tres stylish Neve Tsedek, Hatraklin restaurant is waiting to serve you the best steaks and wine there is to offer. Not only is the cuisine delectable but Hatraklin has one of the most awesome concepts ever. Its called "A dinner from the movies".

We and other guests arrived at 7:45 pm (dinner starts at 8) at the restaurant, where we were served wine while mingling a bit. Then we were seated in the dining room where all the tables were facing a big movie screen. Many scenes from a variety of movies are played and after each scene we are served similar or related dishes that were  shown in the movie!!! While munching, all kinds of comedy shorts from well known Israeli movies are played on the big screen, so not only do you enjoy your outstanding dishes, and get tipsy from the tres delectable Israeli wines poured in your glasses like there is no tomorrow but you get to laugh your tuchas off as well. SUPERB!


A dinner from the movies is a dinner with a fabulous 11 course meal.

We were started with a a creamy ORANGE VEGETABLE SOUPANTIPASTI- of roasted vegetables, CHICKEN LIVER PATE- with a crust of figs, dates, so soft and creamy it gave us goose bumps all over our bodies , served with an onion marmalade, SIRLOIN CARPACCIO - with Pesto and Parmesan, MOROCCAN BREAD- baked on hot pebbles and ROASTED EGGPLANT- with Tehini, absolutely fabulous!




Our entrees-  SEARED SIRLOIN- Finely sliced raw sirloin, served with a hot stone for individual roasting, baked garlic, chimichuri, and a home made mustard sauce which  made us quiver in joy, CHICKEN CURRY-  an Indian dish of chicken with curry , rice and coconut milk,  true hot flavors of pure desire! STEAK PATTY-  delectable!Our eyes slid shut in pure ecstasy.




Dessert- MALABI- milk based pudding perfumed with rose water (a popular tasty dessert in the middle east) , we let it roll around in our warm mouth so we could explore the creamy texture and bursts of pleasure , CHOCOLATE TRUFFLES which were devastatingly delicious that we yearned for more and more!

Throughout the whole evening  delicious wine was poured like there is no tomorrow by the resident sommelier and Hatraklin owner Mr. Ben- Udis. All the wines at Hatraklin are local boutique Israeli wines as well as all the cuisine being proudly served. All made in Israel.





Hatraklin is a superb fun  restaurant, for dates, anniversaries , birthdays and anything your heart desires! Great cuisine, wonderful professional staff, and a unique experience!!
