Rating: seafood!
Our final night in Israel — just hours before heading to the airport for a very long series of flights home.
Some friends had recommended this.
And it’s right on the beach.
With a straight on view (and the typical glass barrier beach restaurants often have).
The menu.
Plain pasta.
Pasta sauce.
Here they bring this slate of mezze and you can choose whichever ones you like. Pretty good stuff.
And served with fresh bread.
Filleted Blue Bream served on red rice, pineapple & chili butter.
Chunks of Filet of Grouper on mashed blue potato and shallot flakes.
Mixed seafood in a black cast-iron pot. This had a slightly sweet sauce.
Sharing Seafood: mussels, shrimp, and crabs, sweet potato and grilled pineapple in a coconut milk sauce with lemon grass, ginger and curry paste. This broth was better (although the seafood quality was good for both). Really nice vaguely Thai flavors. Lots and lots of crab! Probably 4-5 whole ones.
Overall, a fairly simple menu, but I liked the Mezze and the seafood was delicious.
