Modern Creativity Unlike Anywhere Else
Though Tel Aviv’s restaurant scene is incredibly diverse, a fine dining institution of this level is hard to come by. However, George & John restaurant is one of the city’s most loved restaurants showcasing local contemporary haute-cuisine. The Drisco Hotel’s George & John restaurant was awarded the “Number 1 Best Restaurant in Israel” and the “Number 6 Best Restaurant in the Middle East and North Africa” at the Annual World’s 50 Best Awards 2023. George & John showcases the regional and seasonal best in all its glory. George and John is housed in the historic 260-year-old Drisco Hotel and led by Chef Tomer Tal, named one of the most promising chefs in the country by the prestigious Gault & Millau guide. Tal uses modern techniques combined with incredible ingredients to create a dining experience that is creative, innovative, and artistically beautiful. This stunninglydesigned restaurant has staked its reputation on incredibly creative dishes that are a work of art, with incredible fish, meat, vegetables, and seafood as the muse. Local produce is celebrated with dishes like the charcoal-grilled asparagus in a capervinaigrette with thistle cheese alongside za’atar foam, or a cucumber and melon carpaccio, curry vinaigrette, lemongrass, celery salsa, and Tulum cheese. The handmade pasta, Josper-oven meat, and fish dishes are in a league of their own. Finally, George & John showcases a selection of the best breakfast selections in the city. Order the breakfast for two, a mezze collection with an artichoke spread, handmade labane, roasted vegetables, fresh salads, and a top-notch buffet with fruit, muesli, and fresh bread and croissants. Book George & John’s elegant private dining floor, One Table, for special events. There is a spacious knight’s table and a sleek lounge facing the open kitchen, so you can watch Chef Tomer Tal and his team work their artistic skills in the kitchen.
