A little over two years ago, in October 2019, we were surprised to hear that Yossi Sheetrit was leaving Mashiyah and Kitchen Market, the two restaurants that were so identified with him, built in his image, in which he became a well-known chef among the general public, and from there - jumped into prime time.

After a year of Corona and closures, Messiah moved on, talented chef Guy Arish has taken his place and now heads it (and does an excellent job), Kitchen Market have managed to close in the current format in the meantime.

But what about Yossi?



On the screen we continued to see Sheetrit star, when on social media he threw here and there hints that he was working on his dream restaurant, and here this week, she set off.

HIBA, is Sheetrit's new restaurant. It is located on Menachem Begin Street in Tel Aviv, in Midtown Towers. Yes, not far from Yuval Ben Neria's a restaurant, which is also located in the tower on the same street (and this is not the only similarity, we will get to that soon). The name HIBA means aura in Moroccan. "Dad Mine always says that there is



a

hiba around me (aura) "Sheetrit told Hila Korach this week in a special article about opening the restaurant (in the video).

To them when I worked in other restaurants, the fact that I could not reach such a level, with a capacity of one hundred and one hundred and fifty people in the evening, so I said to myself, okay, what can you do? So I said, okay, 40 seats. I want the customers to come out of here and pull their hair out and say 'there has never been one like this before. Wow. I want them to talk about it abroad that it will produce something beyond what we are used to.I want to get the first Michelin star in Israel. "

Yes, Sheetrit is aiming here as high as possible, and not just in terms of dreams about a Michelin star. Let's call the kid by his name, this is an expensive restaurant. There is no menu to choose from, there is a closed price of 450 shekels per diner (excluding alcohol), which diners do not receive before the meal, but only at the end. "It's like you go to a music show, you do not choose or know in advance what the artist will play, you dedicate yourself to the musical experience, it is also the experience we strive to give to our diners," explains Naama Sheetrit, the chef's wife, who works with him on the project.



Sheetrit, asks diners who come to dedicate themselves to the experience. The reservation is made through the website, where diners are asked to indicate if there are any culinary restrictions, and that is it. Oh wait, there's another little detail. Remember you got upset that restaurants asked you to leave credit as an order deposit? NIS 50 per diner, cancellation until 12 noon? So at HIBA take it one step further. If you wish to cancel your order you will need to notify

48 hours in advance

, And no, you will be charged a deposit of 50 percent of the booking value (ie a NIS 450 fine if you book a place for a couple).

So after you have passed this hurdle as well - what do you eat here?

"Everything from everything," says Naama Sheetrit.

Vegetarian dishes, fish, meat.

The 12-course meal ("even a little more if you count the overtures"), what kind of food?

"This is Yossi's type. It's hard to put him in a certain box. He tries to use a lot of local ingredients, there is of course an influence of the Moroccan cuisine he grew up with, of the area's cuisines like Turkey, influences also from Ashkenazi communities, and a lot of Israeli bloody."



So even though Sheetrit chooses not to publish the menu, and it is also expected to change frequently, for the benefit of the curious among you - we were able to get our hands on the menu that was served with enthusiasm in the first days of its activity.

Among the 12 dishes that appear in it, you will find chicken taco and tahini ambala, Jerusalem artichoke pancake, eggplant and lamb feta "borax", entime and celery sashimi, a smoked cabbage stew with hyssop and shepherd's cheese, shrimp scallops and charcoal-burnt leaves,

And there is also a beautiful floral dessert with tangerine cream, which already makes an impression as one that is going to star quite a bit on social media.

Also on the design of the restaurant, put a lot of emphasis here, remember how excited we were about the design of a?

So even in this case, the design was entrusted to the architect Pizza Kedem.

The restaurant is built so that there is no separation between the kitchen and the diners, the chefs work on islands in the center of the restaurant, which should create a feeling of homely and inviting hospitality.

The design, including the ceramics created especially for the restaurant, and the artwork in the place, go down to the smallest detail, all involving Sheetrit, in an extraordinary way.

To say that it is not cheap is an understatement.

NIS 450 per diner, NIS 900 per couple, before alcohol and a tip.

Do the math yourself.

And yet, it can not be ignored that it has an audience in the country, even now it is difficult to find vacancies on the HIBA website for the coming weeks.

True, the restaurant is small, only 40 seats, and yet, there are quite a few diners who are looking for the new thrill, the extraordinary culinary pastime, this one-time experience, and are willing to pay for it, quite a bit of money.



HIBA, 144 Menachem Begin Road, Tel Aviv, Sunday - Friday, 18: 00-23: 00
