Experience Mediterranean Flavors at Mena – A Bistro Restaurant on Yarakon Street

Dining travel guide

Address: Yarkon 88, Tel Aviv-Yafo

Phone: 0529125326

I recently visited Mena, a Mediterranean bistro restaurant located on Yarakon Street, and I must say, I was impressed. The restaurant is under the direction of Chef Yanon Elel, who has worked in some of the most prestigious kitchens around the world. The restaurant is beautifully situated on a balcony overlooking the Mediterranean Sea, offering a stunning view.

Mena’s emphasis on Mediterranean food is evident in every dish they serve, and the freshness of the ingredients is apparent. The menu is carefully curated, with classic influences and European flair that doesn’t compromise on the small details. I had the pleasure of trying several dishes, and each one was better than the last.

The winter menu features a variety of dishes, from sourdough bread with butter, dua, olive oil, and balsamic from Modena, to sweet potato roulade with confit garlic, feta, hazelnuts, and olive oil. The standout dish for me was the chopped liver with pepper jam, crispy shallots, sour leaves, and African bread. It was a unique twist on a classic dish, and the flavors were perfectly balanced.

Mena’s menu options are a delightful blend of Mediterranean cuisine with European influences, offering a diverse range of dishes to suit all tastes. From classic favorites like Caesar salad with parmesan and crispy potato, to more adventurous options like fish carpaccio with pistachio vinaigrette and chili, the restaurant caters to a variety of palates. Vegetarians and vegans will also find plenty of options, including the red root vegetable pasta with silan, za’atar, and feta, and the greens in the oven with caesar aioli, parmesan, crispy potato, and soft egg. The menu is carefully curated to highlight the freshest ingredients, and the staff is knowledgeable about each dish, making recommendations and accommodating any dietary restrictions. Overall, the menu options at Mena are a delicious journey through the flavors of the Mediterranean.

The service at Mena was impeccable, and the staff was attentive and knowledgeable. They were able to match the needs of our group in terms of food, style, design, and service. The published menus can be slightly changed if necessary, which is a nice touch.

Overall, I highly recommend Mena for anyone looking for a Mediterranean dining experience in a beautiful setting. The prices are reasonable, considering the quality of the food and the level of service. If you’re looking for a place to host a small event, Mena is the perfect choice.

Toto Restaurant Tel Aviv: A Delicious Transformation with Unchanged Favorites

Toto Restaurant Tel Aviv: A Delicious Transformation with Unchanged Favorites

Toto Restaurant in Tel Aviv may have undergone a massive change in terms of its design, but it still manages to serve up the same great food that has made it a favorite among its loyal customers. The menu features five different categories, including cold dishes, pizza, pasta, seafood, and steakhouse, as well as a separate menu of special dishes. One of the standout items on the menu is the spicy pizza and chestnut gnocchi, both of which have become flagship dishes for Toto. Other highlights include the whole eggplant roasted over an open fire, beef tartare, and thinly sliced smoked Spanish tuna from the cold dishes section. The pizza section features a variety of mouth-watering options, including a white pizza with wild mushrooms and bacon and a salami pizza with black olives and purple onions. In the pasta section, the potato and ricotta gnocchi with salted butter, chestnuts, and Parmesan is a must-try. Seafood lovers will enjoy the fried sea fish with vinaigrettes, grilled sea bass, and charcoal-grilled locust kebab. Meat lovers can indulge in beef fillet and foie gras with veal stock and morel mushrooms or choose from a selection of steaks on the bone. Although the menu has remained largely unchanged to preserve many of the restaurant's favorite dishes, the restaurant itself has undergone a major transformation. The bar has been repositioned, and the kitchen is now open and impressively large. The new design is invested, prestigious, and impressive, making for a great dining experience. Toto has had its ups and downs over the years, including the firing of founder Yaron Shalu in 2014 and a short-lived connection with chef Moshik Roth. However, Shalu persevered and found new buyers who bought the restaurant back for him, allowing him to return to his baby and close the circle in an emotional way. Overall, Toto Restaurant Tel Aviv is still a great spot for delicious food and a new, impressive atmosphere.
