Talpiot Restaurant

Talpiot Restaurant's charm shines through in its ambiance: collected antiques from the old world, bottles of Ouzo ready to be drunk by the afternoon crowd and upbeat world music. Sip on spiced tea drawn straight from the samovar and taste the delightful spread consisting of artisan bread, homemade dips, such as a rich and flavorful tahini, yogurt-based taziki with dill, finely-diced cucumbers and marigold leaves, Bulgarit cheese with fresh zaatar, and a chopped salad that is dressed with care and decorated with rare fresh herbs to bring a surprising and refreshing palate cleansing anise flavor to the meal. Indulge in the variety of individually seasoned antipasti that account for the 'sweet' aspect found in most Israeli breakfasts, including a nut and dried fruit stuffed eggplant that melts in the mouth.  Balance the whole meal out with imported gourmet Italian olives and a fluffy herbed omelette. This overall healthy, yet heavenly experience in Haifa’s shuk will recharge the soul, courtesy of owner/chef Ilan Ferron’s entrepreneurial and culinary vision.
