Fresh The Market, Ayalon Mall, Ramat Gan Italian fine-casual

A pampering shopping trip always whets the appetite, especially if you happen to be doing the shopping at the Azrieli Ayalon Mall, where the Fresh The Market Group have recently opened their new Italian fine-casual eatery. The restaurant is located inside the mall’s cozy food zone, and its dining space is designed in classic European chic, with great sensitivity to plants and greenery. Chef Shiran Ben Haim has created a contemporary Italian-Mediterranean menu that’s perfect for post-shopping hunger pangs, with dishes that includes fish crudo, handmade pasta dishes, and freshly-baked pastries (including a must-try pizza with mascarpone, roasted apricots and berries). The Ayalon Mall Fresh The Market is a little island of calm in the heart of the hustle-and-bustle, an ideal spot for a quick meal before or after a movie, a business lunch, a break in between errands, or a family meal in the middle of a busy day. freshthemarket.co.il
