A Summary of the Restaurants and Bars in the Eyal Shani Empire.
Famous in Israel for his love of tomatoes and putting everything inside pita bread, Chef Eyal Shani is a TV personality and judge of MasterChef Israel. Most of Eyal Shani’s restaurants focus as much on vegetables as they do on protein. Two of his most well-known dishes in most of his restaurants are the roasted cauliflower (not in the kosher restaurants) and the Jericho green beans. Most of his restaurants serve food on cardboard, paper bags, and other creative ways, not plates. The menus are designed for sharing and eating with your hands. Some signature dishes can be found in street food and sit-down restaurants. Below is a summary of Eyal Shani’s restaurants in Israel and worldwide.
Eyal Shani Restaurants in Israel
- Cassata is an Italian gelato and wine bar in Park Hamesila in Tel Aviv (next to Beit Romano). The gelato is made freshly every day, so flavors vary. Dairy flavors include campfire marshmallow, sage butter, and Earl Grey, and vegan flavors include cinnamon, almond, blood orange, and toasted rice.
