Canela
Surely there must have been some mistake made that led to the
establishment of Canela on uber-chic Shlomtzion Hamalka Street in
downtown Jerusalem. On the surface, Canela appears a lot like its
fellow Shlomtzion restaurants: It's softly lit and well-appointed, it appeals to a young and trendy crowd, it
offers upscale fusion cuisine with Israeli flair... but there's
something a little off.
Canela, unlike the other Shlomtzion joints which swim with fruits de mer, is kosher. And what a kosher restaurant.
The décor is fantastic – dig that funky white baby grand piano
sitting in the midst of all those dark wood tables and
leather-upholstered chairs. The often-updated menu, which comes in two incarnations,
business lunch (12:00-15:30) and evening, is filled with creative
gourmet Middle Eastern/Continental meat dishes and fresh fish (check it out on the Menu tab above).
And you'll be more than spoiled for choice with wine, with dozens of
Israeli varieties represented. Canela is so hip, it's hard to believe
it's kosher.
