6 HaShahar Street Cuisines: Italian, European

About

An old Tel Aviv building in the shadow of the Shalom Tower skyscraper houses this delightful place. At lunch, it's fast-paced and filled with business people, but in the evenings, it becomes a cozy rustic retreat. The inventive menu starts with earthy house bread and is flavored with lots of zataar (local spices) as well as dill, garlic, lemon, and olive oil, and interesting sauces of wild berry/pepper, lemon/honey, fig, pistachio, or raisins. Appetizers include mushrooms stuffed with gooseliver in plum-and-fig sauce; bouillabaisse; and calamari stuffed with risotto and seafood. Main courses range from lamb chops in spicy barbecue sauce to ostrich filet in curry, lemon, and garlic.
