All the details about the intriguing restaurant that opened in Ein Hod | Israel today

A new and quite talked about restaurant has opened in recent days in the artists' village of Ein Hod.

Her name in Israel is Pygam and the person behind it is Chef Dan Zoarz, who, among other things, founded Dalida, the popular Tel Aviv food bar.

The look of the restaurant, like the location, is quite unusual, in the positive sense of the word of course.

The restaurant is located above the Ein Hod amphitheater, with an open terrace overlooking the beautiful view in the area - the Carmel and the sea, the design is simple but also behind it and behind the ceramic vessels in the place quite a bit of thought.

Zoarz, who left Tel Aviv for the Artists' Village, renovated the building himself while working on local inspirations for the restaurant's menu.

The inspirations are from Lebanon, Turkey, Greece and Iran, and the raw materials are from much closer places - local fish, pickles, bloody vegetables and more, so here too the menu will change depending on what the land has to offer, and we will have to come more than once.

And what do you eat?

The starter category includes spinach and hyssop patisserie with Greek yogurt, chickpeas and tebila, hot pepper brula and feta, fish patty in red sauce and shredded chicken on its brine.

In the larger portions we ate a fillet of burqa with carrot cream, Cuban farewell with yoghurt aioli, a Yemeni joint disassembled on a bruschetta and small ballady zucchini on tomato butter and a lemon with sage chips.
