Basher Fromagerie Opens on Dizengoff

The Deskalides Chocolate shop on Dizengoff closed at the end of the summer and thankfully another dress shop or hair salon didn’t open in its place. The neighborhood has instead been blessed with the arrival of Basher Fromagerie! Jerusalemites are well familiar with Basher from the Mahane Yehuda market.

Liat and Igor are in charge at 201 Dizengoff (south of Jabotinsky). The refrigerated shelves are filled with only imported cheeses and the wood shelves are filled with Israeli boutique wines only. Many wines served in finer Israeli restaurants are not sold in shops but you can find them at Basher on Dizengoff – Ramot Naftali, Ben Zimra and Neve Ilan to name a few.

In a few weeks Liat and Igor are planning to add to their cheese shelves 20-30 “Halav Yisrael” kosher cheeses….a first for Tel Aviv I believe. Challas are available on Fridays.

Olive oil from Olio and cakes and breads from Margoza round out a really top notch gastronomic selection.

Food Avenue – Culinary treats delivered to your door

A new food delivery service has started in Tel Aviv. Not sure where this Food Avenue is going but if you are really busy (or lazy) you could probably invite a small crowd for dinner and have most of the food delivered by Food Ave. Or perhaps just the ingredients.

For the fun of it imagine that you are invited for a light supper for 6 people at T in Tel Aviv’s house. I think I’ll order a mushroom, mozzarella and onion quiche from the Quicheria (family size – 99NIS), a loaf of whole wheat sourdough bread (13.50NIS – unclear from the site how large the loaf is), a medium tiramisu cake (80 NIS – again, number of servings not mentioned on the site), a bottle of sun dried and black olive spread to smear on the above mentioned bread (22 NIS – no idea how large the bottle is), and a bottle of Castel Winery Chardonnay (129 NIS – no idea what year). Who wants to bring the salad?

Most of the products offered come from very small food shops and culinary enthusiasts. Delivery is 15NIS and at the moment only available in Tel Aviv, Ramat Aviv and Givatayim. The site is Hebrew only.

Italian Restaurant in the Jaffa Flea Market

Some restaurant names just don’t translate or transliterate well from Hebrew to English. How important are names anyway when it is really the food that matters! Last week, T in Tel Aviv had a lovely meal with the family at “Italkia Ba Pishpishim”. “Pishpishim” are literally, fleas. But don’t worry, this very casual and delicious restaurant is just simply located in the Jaffa flea market. The scene was somewhat Felliniesque in that people were standing on the street corner mingling and waiting for their tables. The wait is well worth it.





There are options for carnivores, fishivores (what is a fish eater called?),vegetarians and kids which would explain the various dishes that we ordered. The starter “Melafandonia Salad” (transliteration, sorry) of iceberg lettuce, arugula, anchovies, fish carpaccio (can’t remember which one!), radishes, tomatoes and lemon vinaigrette was simply refreshing and delicious. The traditional caprese salad is made here with sliced beets, chopped hazelnuts and goat cheese.

Our main courses included THIN (yes, THIN AND CRISP) crust pizzas and a delicious spinach and cheese ravioli with a little spice and hazelnut shards sprinkled on top.

There’s also a nice wine list that includes choices from Israel and abroad including a Francis Coppola Winery Claret and Peroni beer from Italy.


The restaurant’s website is in Hebrew only but menus are available in English. From what I could hear the staff is multilingual.
