in the city’s picturesque Almogim neighborhood, recently renovated and renewed. The hotel offers 26 rooms (standard, with balcony, suite) decorated in chic “future perfect” style, mixing notes of vintage with futuristic ultra-modernism. According to CEO Alon Bichler, the concept behind the design is inspired by the way people in the 70’s and 80’s imagined what the future would look like. The result is surprisingly refreshing. Rooms are equipped with smart heating systems and huge showers. The hotel restaurant is first-rate (see ‘What to eat’) and the service is impeccable. Prices vary between NIS 399-999 per night. en.stayhg.com Where to eat Mamo – Mediterranean food Chef Ohad Levy, famous in Israel for appearing on TV show “The Next Restaurant”, has left the world of showbiz to settle with his family in

Owner Yuval Ziv, who never says no to a challenge, has created gluten and starch-free breads that are of the highest quality. The bakery is small in size, but the

range of breads and baked goods on offer is dizzying. Plus, they serve great coffee - what more could you ask for? brbr.co.il Fascino – Italian cuisine There’s no shortage of Italian restaurants in the Middle East, but this one is a little different. When the pandemic struck, crisis hit the Herz family. They began baking focaccias and pizzas in their taboon for delivery. More and more orders came in, and reactions were great, leading the business to bloom and expand. A few months ago, they opened their very own restaurant, ‘Fascino’. Quality produce and handmade dishes such as polenta, arancini, cannelloni, lasagna, pizzas, salads, fish, and delicious deserts, are served in a relaxed family-friendly atmosphere, to the enjoyment of every palate. fascinoeilat.com
