Café Yonita in Tel Aviv [Review]

On our third day in Israel, we headed over to check out Tel Aviv and Yafo. We met up with a friend of Dani’s (Jonah) who made Aliyah and lives in Tel Aviv. He showed us around the streets of Tel Aviv and took us to the Nachalat Binyamin Artists market, which they have on Tuesdays and Fridays. We were starving and stopped for Brunch at a a really cute place called Yonita.

Yonita is a dairy restaurant that serves, Israeli breakfast, pastas, paninis, salads and amazing coffee. The restaurant has an indoor section, but we chose to sit in its outdoor area, which flows onto Nachalat Binyamin. Its outdoor tables are shaded with umbrellas and the waitresses come out serve those tables as well.

I had been hearing about Cafe Hafuch and was dying to try it so Dani and I shared one. [There is nothing like the coffee in Israel. It is seriously unbelievable. Rich, bold, full of flavor, each cup tasted like it was made for you. Cafe Hafuch is like a latte only with a higher milk to espresso ration making it super creamy and of course uniquely Israeli. (Israeli's sure love their dairy). I could drink them all day everyday. Sadly there is nothing in America that quite compares. It's not surprising that Starbucks failed in Israel. Any little hole in the wall coffee shop in Israel makes Starbucks pale in comparison.]

Open for Passover 2009 in Tel Aviv / Yaffo

Jews the world over are traveling around to friends, family, or to new locations this Passover. While it is typically impossible to find kosher restaurants or eateries open for Passover, here are a few that I’ve found that will be open this year on Chol Hamoed (intermediary days of Passover):

Note: Israel is an interesting place on Pesach since many will eat Kitniyot (maize, rice, peas, lentils, and beans). Below, “Non-Kitniyot” describes a restaurant not serving Kitniyot on Passover, and “Kitniyot” describes a restaurant that does serve Kitniyot. YeahThatsKosher.com takes no responsibility for the Kitniyot status of the restaurants.
