No matter how many New Restaurants open we all have our old favourites that we like to revisit over and over again simply because they are to good to miss out on.
For me Turquoise is one of those favourite places. Its a seafood restaurant that is both Simple and creative. Everything you eat will taste good whether it is the sea food kebab a tabouli salad or my favourite soft shell crab.
On top of the good food you have an amazing wine list with over 1500 wines and an incredible view of the mediterranean Sea. Make sure to make a reservation as this is a very popular restaurant and always fully booked.

The food created by chef and owner Aviv Moshe is is superb haute cuisine.
Here they really take the word food art seriously the dishes are so beautifully presented you have to look at them for a while before starting to eat.
The food is a mixture of Mediterranean and French fused perfectly with the local delicacies of Israel.
Look out for the purple calamari with lemon cream and foie gras.
I suggest you go for diner rather then lunch.

The Hotel Montefiore is Tel-Avivs first boutique hotel and it is a place you would expect to find more in New York or London rather then Israel.
However they did it and it is wonderful and just as good as in the big city's of the world.
For me the restaurant at the Montefiore is the perfect lunch spot if your after atmosphere and good food without the sea view.
The duck liver ravioli are delicious. Make sure to leave some room for desert. The owner also own a place called Bakery which probably explains the yummy desserts

If your going to Israel you can't possibly not go to Jerusalem for a quick visit in my opinion to the most magical place in the world the Wailing Wall.
So once your there you may as well take the opportunity to have diner at one of the most desired restaurants in the Country.
Machneyuda Restaurant was opened by 3 very experienced chefs and the food is very good. The Menu changes regularly as the ingredients are sourced on the Machne Yehuda market next to the restaurant daily.
Ask to sit downstairs so you can see the chefs in there open plan kitchen. There is singing and dancing as we'll to great funky Israely, Arabic and african tunes.
Make your reservation weeks in advance.

I have no idea how a restaurant survives staying open only 2 nights a week but celebrity tv chef Eyal Shani somehow manages.
Seriously the restaurant only opens Wednesday and Thursday nights.
It is a little bit like a theatre and the menu is none negotiable you have to eat what the chef prepares for you that day but everything is outstanding. Seriously it will be a meal you will remember for the rest of your lives both for the experience as well as the food.
If your lucky you will get to taste his delicious aubergines roasted on a very low heat for over 24 hours, and his famous beef carpaccio beaten directly at the table.
Obviously I don't need to explain how difficult it is to get a reservation considering its only open 2 nights a week so make sure to book especially well in advance to avoid disappointment.
