A Summary of the Restaurants and Bars in the Eyal Shani Empire.
Famous in Israel for his love of tomatoes and for putting everything in pita bread, Chef Eyal Shani is a TV personality and judge on MasterChef Israel. Most of Eyal Shani’s restaurants focus as much on vegetables as they do on protein. Two of his best-known dishes across most of his restaurants are the roasted cauliflower (not at the kosher restaurants) and the Jericho green beans. Most of his restaurants serve food on cardboard, paper bags, and other creative ways, not on plates. The menus are designed for sharing and eating by hand. Some signature dishes appear in both street food and sit-down restaurants. Below is a summary of Eyal Shani’s restaurants in Israel and around the world.
Eyal Shani Restaurants in Israel
- Cassata is an Italian gelato and wine bar in Tel Aviv’s Park Hamesila (next to Beit Romano). The gelato is made fresh daily, so flavors vary. Dairy flavors include campfire marshmallow, sage butter, and Earl Grey, and vegan flavors include cinnamon, almond, blood orange, and toasted rice.
- Dvora (Kosher) is a spacious restaurant off the Debrah Brown Hotel lobby on Ben Yehuda in Tel Aviv.
- Gila & Nancy is a restaurant and club on Levontin Street in Tel Aviv featuring drag queens.
- HaSalon is a fine-dining tasting-menu restaurant open Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday nights.
- Jazz Kissa is a bar at the back of Beit Romano with a bar menu.
- Malka (Kosher) is a restaurant on the ground floor of an office building in Tel Aviv’s business area. For business lunches, the restaurant feels more relaxed; for dinner, the volume turns up, and the vibe gets livelier. The restaurant partners with Elem, an association that trains at-risk youth to work in the restaurant industry.
- Mirage is a small cafe at the back of Beit Romano on Park Hamesila.
- Miznon is a Tel Aviv street food restaurant with three branches. Most dishes are served inside pita bread. The Ramat Hahayal branch is kosher, but the others are not.
- North Abraxas is a slightly more formal restaurant with casual, shareable food.
- Port Sa’id is more a bar than a restaurant, with seating mostly outside. It is popular with the young Tel Aviv crowd and usually requires a wait for a table.
- Romano is a lounge bar located in Beit Romano, Tel Aviv. It has a fun atmosphere without being too loud.
