Tzemah
Much justified praise has been bestowed upon celebrity chef and Jerusalemite Assaf Granit and his exceptional restaurants. Best known for his mothership, Machneyehuda (see above), Tzemah is one of his most recent outings, and a love letter to the vegetable. He takes beetroot, okra and eggplant to unbelievable heights. The presentation and balance of each dish is precise and impeccable. The tasting menu is recommended, but if you prefer to choose your dishes, don't miss the pumpkin steak in beurre noisette crumble; the skordelia with almonds, garlic and tomato; or the nicely rhyming lychee ceviche. In fact, just do yourself a favor and order it all. When in Jerusalem...
