Dinner in the Tower of David

Chef Ido Zarmi cooked this gorgeous meal to welcome us to Jerusalem. The meal, which included seven different kinds of olive oil,  showcased local products. It began with this sabich of eggplant...

went on to a tartar of blue-stripe jack with creme fraiche tzatziki

fish and chips....

that salad up above, and then this "shish-brack" of striped bass with yogurt and za'atar

olive oil poached Spanish mackerel

goats milk panna cotta,

and finished with a selection of Ika's chocolates which are, bar none, the finest chocolates I've ever tasted.
