Hotel Montefiore
This iconic culinary institution located on the ground floor of a century-old boutique hotel of the same name serves modern French brasserie dishes, based on local Israeli ingredients, with Vietnamese touches. There are few greater pleasures than sitting at the restaurant’s handsome wooden bar and enjoying a glass of fine Israeli wine. The artisanal cocktails, built around fragrant Israeli herbs and bitters, are equally delightful. All dishes here are executed with care and creativity, but some standouts include the thinly sliced raw albacore with yuzu sauce, the shrimp noodle salad, and the shredded lamb, served with spongy pancakes and tangy sauces. The decor is classy: clean white walls, black slatted wooden blinds, and silver serving trays that make you feel like you’re a world away from the Tel Aviv hubbub just outside the doors. Reservations are strongly suggested, as this place gets busy most every night.
