Sunny from Tel Aviv, Israel...
In Tel Aviv, I'd like to recommend one of my favorite
restaurants, Messa - Chef
Restaurant. They have a wonderful business
lunch of three courses and has the most delicious, creatively
cooked food I've tasted in years. Messa-Chef is large
with a quiet and tasteful ambiance. Singles are very welcome
and can be seated with other singles -- very customer
friendly. I loved the salmon and my girlfriends had meat
and it too was delicious. They have the most delicious
cocktails and oh my goodness the desserts! Selections
from the menu include: (1) Seafood gnocchi in a fine turmeric
butter (2) Seared Salmon served with Pepper and Fig Relish
and a light Sweet Potato Puree (3) white chocolate dessert,
with cherry sabayon and raspberry fundue. Address: 19
Ha'arba'a St. Tel: 03-6856859. Website: http://www.messa.co.il/messa.html
(Hebrew with English menu).

Norma in Jerusalem,
Israel...
For the second time, I've been to Velka,
a relatively new cafe-restaurant in the lovely Rehavia section
of Jerusalem and for the second time, was impressed by the
food and the atmosphere. While there are other dairy cafes
(no meat served) in Jerusalem, Velka stands out for the inventiveness,
quality and presentation of its food and its old-fashioned
cafe atmosphere. On my first visit I had an exquisite eggplant
parmesan which was not smothered in sauce. Last time there,
I shared breakfast with a friend and portions were so generous
that there was food left over. The restaurant specializes
in home-baked cookies and cakes, but most important from my
point of view, the cappuccino is excellent. I hope this tip
helps other women visiting my city.
