The Roots of Our Cuisine

Chef Nir Mesika’s menu draws influences from the Mediterranean, Middle East and North Africa, creating a highly personal, thoroughly original dining experience. A native of Israel with Moroccan heritage, Chef Mesika brings a unique sensibility to his cooking, weaving in flavors from around the globe while also making many items in house including cheeses, breads, condiments, sauces, ice creams and more. Most ingredients are sourced locally but some are specially imported such as tahini from the Palestinian city of Nablus.
