Ready for the best cool-down treat ever?
Although August is coming to a close (phew!) Israel's summer temps continue to heat up through September, and we've discovered just the trick to lessen the hangry (that's hot and angry where we come from) bouts of distress that can wax and wane throughout the day. Wait for it...it's a hefty swirl of coconut cream yogurt sprinkled with crumbled oreos. One of Caphe Hanoi's showstopping menu options, this is not a dessert to have while walking, lest half of it ends up melting from your fingers to the floor. This is a sit down endeavor. It arrive, decadent, in a wine glass. Relax, take it all in, and prepare to truly enjoy this indulgent treat - that is part of the fun. It is dairy-free and kosher, and tastes like a hypbrid of Pinkberry's OG yogurt with a subtle coconut flair. You'll be craving this one for days on end.
And if you want some delicious, salty or spicy fare to accompany your desert, Caphe Hanoi has perfected its Vietnamese menu with European touches since its opening last year. The Tel Aviv branch of the famed Parisian flagship restaurant is the latest addition to a group of concept restaurants owned by acclaimed restaurateurs Claude Louzon and Emmanuel Dayan and the eclectic decor, varied menu, and chic clientele make this a hotspot to see and be seen. Helmed by Israeli chef Nofar Zohar, Caphe Hanoi offers flavorful options - including steamed bao buns filled with beef or mushroom ragout, Vietnamese papaya salad, the classic bun-bo dishes and perfectly crisp spring rolls.
Celebrate Vietnamese Independence day coming up on September 2 with a vibrant evening of live music, food specials, and a bunch of other surprises. Make reservations in advance, the Frenchies have this place on lock.
