The magical food of Tel Aviv

Well, where to begin...

I love Tel Aviv and one of the top reasons why is the food! Tel Aviv is Israel's New York so they have everything.  They have a big diaspora community (for lack of a better phrase) which means you can basically get any cuisine you want and it taste fairly legit.  There's also a billion cute cafes, bars and places to grab a cupcake.

With Mum visiting though I picked my favs and we settled in for some delicious food.

Wings - I am addicted to Wings.  Not even joking.  The place has been open for 3 months and I have been there 4 times.  Do the math, that's more than once a month for one of those months which is ridiculous because I have reached a whole new level of poor.  But, alas, Wings is owned by a bunch of Americans and all they do is flavoured chicken wings! #GENIUS.  My fav flavour is the Texas which is smokey honey BBQ but they also have an array of Asian flavours including curry and coconut cream, American flavours like your traditional buffalo and their Tel Aviv flavour which is sweet orange.  Your wings come with a side including their sweet potato fries which are beyond amazing or onion rings, and a drink.  They have just started doing home delivery in Tel Aviv so fingers crossed they deliver to Rishon soon! (lol, jks. my jeans would never fit if they did).

Always photo'ing my food

Benedict - I've already spoken about Benedict - the place that does breakfast 24 hours a day - but here's a photo of the pancakes I had the other day because they were bomb.

Food at the shuk - there are two places worth a mention at the shuk.  The first is a place in the middle of the shuk that serves the most incredible kebab (like rissoles) and Jerusalem Mix.  I don't know the name of the place, mostly because my Hebrew skills are atrocious, but you can't walk past it without stopping because they grill all their vegetables and meat on this big open grill that wafts throughout the whole shuk... mmmmm.  

The other one is the new Venezuelan place that serves arepas! I don't think I've ever had an arepa before but they are gluten free (wooo) as they are made from corn flour and filled with basically whatever you want.  I had the chicken and guacamole which is topped with cheese and then placed on the grill again so the cheese gets extra melty and delicious!  Defs worth a visit if you find yourself in the shuk.
