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.
