Where: 4 Beit Eshel Street, Tel Aviv, Israel

Jaunted contributor Sedona recently spent a week in Tel Aviv, and happily ate her way through the city so she could share her picks with you.

After a morning walk through the extensive flea markets of Tel Aviv's port city, Jaffa, don't shortchange yourself with a standard falafel that's easily gettable at any nearby stand. Instead, head to the Doctor's--Dr. Shakshuka's that is.

Serving traditional (Kosher) Libyan and Moroccan cuisine, Dr. Shakshuka's is like stepping into a family's house for a meal. Long wooden tables line the indoor and outdoor eating areas and guests are encouraged fill them, mingle and try everything.

Eats in Tel Aviv: Nir Zook's Culinary Trifecta

Where: Yeffet 30, Jaffa, Israel
April 29, 2009 at 1:06 PM | by sedona | 0 Comments

Jaunted contributor Sedona recently spent a week in Tel Aviv, and happily ate her way through the city so she could share her picks with you.

Today's Tel Aviv culinary secret revealed is the magical kingdom of Chef Nir Zook. His three hot spots - Cordelia, Noa Bistro and Jaffa Bar are hidden gems in Jaffa, the area's ancient port city.

Chef Zook is a 30-year-old foodie dynamo who grew up on a farm in southern Israel where he learned a thing or two about putting the right ingredients together. He started hosting dinner parties with friends at his apartment in Tel Aviv after which they insisted he open his own place. The result is Cordelia restaurant, where he infuses French classics with Mediterranean touches.

Think ostrich meat with cocoa or a light fish fillet paired with green and white asparagus shavings. One of the best parts about Cordelia is its decor, it's a sort of collection of found objects - from cutlery to mismatched tables and chairs to funky chandeliers, and everything miraculously just goes together. Chef Zook sources the items himself and spends time scouring flea markets for finds continuously.

West Coast web media princess, and the latest Jaunted Embed, Shira Lazar is making her way through Chile on a top secret travel mission. She will be posting daily for the next week, in hopes of creating a glorious on-the-fly travel guide using as much point oh social webbing as she can. Enjoy.

For some reason people love penguins. It’s a fascination that transcends generations, genders and nationalities. It couldn’t have been more evident than with the success of the 2005 award-winning documentary March of the Penguins, which was made for $8 million and then went on to reap over $77 million in profits in the US alone.
