Renowned Israeli Chef Opens Kosher Restaurant in Tel Aviv: Mapu

primaKosher fine dining in the Tel Aviv area used to be difficult to find. With the addition of 2 restaurants by Meir Adoni and others in recent years, the city is becoming a haven for kosher diners. Adding to that list is renowned Israeli chef Nir Tzuk who has closed all of his non kosher restaurants and has opened up Mapu, his first kosher restaurant in Israel.  Mapu has opened inside the Prima City Hotel, located in the heart of Tel Aviv, a block from the beach and walking distance from the Tel Aviv Marina.

Nir Tzuk is known to make very unique, out of the box dishes, and he has interpreted it all with kosher appropriate ingredients. Dishes like Goose tortellini with cashew cream and capers or Chicken ballotine stuffed with veal served with black rice. You won’t find many other restaurants serving gourmet kosher food like this. He even makes kosher beef prosciutto!
