Shila / Effortless chic The recent relocation of legendary Ben Yehuda Street eatery Shila, southwards to Montefiore Street, has come with the exciting renewal of its entire menu. Paving his way even further towards culinary excellence, chef Sharon Cohen has concocted a Friday brunch offering based on top-quality local ingredients sourced in Israel and the world, including a selection of artisan beers from around the globe. The menu is Asian-fusion in spirit, and includes dishes such as fish crudo, wild herb Galilean-style stew, a variety of egg dishes, handmade pasta, French tarts and quiches, and more. Also, dissimilarly to the dinner menu, brunch at Shila is deployed in a wide price range, making it accessible to all budgets. shila-rest.co.il
