Optimized-bigstock–127583615

Israel has some delicious and beautiful eateries, with rich menues and often interesting historical surroundings. Among these restaurants are several that stand out as being especially unique – promising not only delightful dishes but also an unusual and memorable experience. Following are a few of those restaurants that bring something new to the table.

Darna

This fantastic restaurant is filled with the flavor of Moroccan authenticity, complete with costumes and original design. Much of the decoration items were actually imported from Morocco, so that entering the restaurant is like stepping right into Casablanca. The seating area is spacious and comfortable, and the menu is filled with a delectible selection. Get some real Moroccan couscous, or lamb spiced in a way only Moroccans know how. Find out more info on Darna’s website.

Rainbow

Rainbow is a hugely popular burger place in Tel Aviv. Its delicious taste and popularity makes it hard to believe that the burgers are in fact meatless. This restaurant is entirely vegan, and is frequented by meat lovers and vegans alike. Rainbow also serves Shawarma and kebabs, made of mushrooms and other plant-based meat alternatives. Diners tend to marvel at how close the flavor is to “the real thing.” Here are some reviews and contact details.

The Green Cat

HaHatul Hayarok, or the Green Cat, is no ordinary pizza place: here you may find unique pizza toppings such as artichoke, spinach, and baked yam. Like Rainbow, the food is vegan! In fact, it is the first vegan pizzeria in the country. Their delicious signature “cheese” made from a secret recipe is cashew-based and tastes just like mozzarella. Aside for the cheese, their specialty is freshness of all the products. Read more about the Green Cat pizzeria here.
