The brilliant chef
Nir Zook has done it again!! Nir opened a new tres chic restaurant called
MAPU in the center of the popular bubbly city Tel Aviv. Not only are his dishes delectable but they are
KOSHER as well. Mapu is located inside the PRIME CITY BOUTIQUE HOTEL.
With the AMAZING Chef Nir Zook
Even before our tuchases hit our chairs we were offered cocktails by the cheery waitress. We decided on the Mapu Cocktail and two specially ordered ones.
After getting our cocktail buzz going on, and enjoying sitting next to the fresh vegetables and spices laid out on the shelve by our side, enticing us, we were ready to be seduced by the famous Chef Nir Zook's chef D'oeuvre! We started with a
VARIETY OF BREADS- shaped grissini served with tomatoes, horseradish, and vine leaf paste (the vine leaf paste is absolutely unique and phenomenal!) , the
GOOSE LIVER TERRINE- pickled dry figs and Japanese mustard leaf salad- so soft and melt in your mouth!! and
GARDEN SALAD with lemon dressing- cheeky and crunchy!
For our main dishes -The
SALMON AND PEA DUET-Grilled Salmon, very dominant over the tasty submissive garden pea ravioli served on the side,
WIENER SCHNITZEL- Tel Aviv style with pickled shallots, served on a beautiful cut tree trunk, was so tender and so good that we were slaves to it with every bite ,
BEEF FILLET MEDALLIONS- on za'atar kale+rose petal potatoes, SUPERB!
Dessert-
Orange Flan- creamy and sweet, a slutty
Volcano chocolate ball with mandarin cream -and warm chocolate syrup poured over it- an absolute sexy and pleasurable naughty dish and a perfect ending to a wonderful gastronomic evening.
Mapu is definitely one of THE HOTTEST and trendiest new restaurants in Tel Aviv worth going to! The cuisine is not simply delicious , it is succulent because Nir puts a lot of heart, soul and affection in all his hands touch.
We recommend with love!
SMOOCH SMOOCH,
THE SAMUELS SISTERS and CHEF ARAIANA- Always Naughty- Yet Always Nice ;)
