About 15 minutes drive from the center of Tel Aviv to the north of Israel in between orange grove and agricultural fields resides one of the most unique and amazing places in Israel. Chef restauranteur Chaim Shastel built one of the most beautiful restaurants and event halls in Israel in the middle of nature between trees and flowers bushes is this unbelievable place with an amazing ambience during the day and especially at night unique dishes and amazing recipes .
There is no other like this place in the entire Israel and definitely it is worth to visit. Everything is fresh and organic grown in their garden and the groves around, they have wonderful cheeses and goat products and fresh bread baked daily everything grows on the farm around. Speciality plates made from seasonal fruits and vegetables are excellent. I loved the different eggplant's dishes I ate there few times during my last visit to Israel and each time I was surprised again how big of a real food artist mr Shastel is.
The mornings at Makom Balev start with staff picking up the fruits and vegetables from the organic farm every day and making fresh pastries and bread that is coming out of the hot Taboon (that special old oven) the coffee beans are being grinded fresh and brew immediately. There are hundreds of birds that live in the trees and the nature around and this is really a very pictorial atmosphere. Corporate people are having breakfast meetings there too. There is a special gallery that can host up to 90 people for special events (inside and outside), they also have an amazing catering department that serves gourmet dishes in style and sushi bars too all fresh and made in the place. This is all due to an amazing person dreams that in 1995 started this place and during the years planted trees and bushes and started to grow his own fresh herbs, and all that is needed for this place. Highly recommended if you visit Israel.
