The magical food of Eilat

Mum and I only ate at one restaurant while we are in Eilat (apart from Aroma but that doesn't count) and it was so good, it gets a little blog post all to its awesome self.

It's called Hamasger 5 located conveniently at 5 Hamasger St in the old industrial area in Eilat.  The restaurant is fairly small and my understanding is that it's owned by a husband and wife duo who love to cook.  Amazing, right!?  It's rated #1 on Tripadvisor and after visiting, I totally understand why.

The menu changes daily based on seasonal produce + what the duo feel like cooking and it's written in Hebrew on a blackboard.  However, don't be phased if you can't put more than three Hebrew letters together (like me), the waitress, and or husband or wife, will take the time to translate the entire menu for you.

Now, I'll be honest, after living in Israel for 3.5 months, every time I see pork on a menu, I get really really excited and have to order it, photo it and then talk about how delicious it was for at least a week post fact, and this meal was no different.  Mum and I shared proscuitto, potatoes, broccoli (another fairly rare vegetable in these parts) and blue cheese sauce for entree, some sort of German pork, potato and cabbage dish for main and the most divine lemon trifle for dessert.  I will let the pictures do the rest of the talking but it really was 15/10.
