Julian Restaurant – Israel

JULIAN is one of my favorite restaurants in Israel. Every time when I visit Israel I have a must visit spot, which is this amazing and beautiful place, and every time I do, I am surprised again how good it is.

Chef and co owner Lior Hinits is a young and dynamic Chef whom I met in Los Angeles while working for one of the top Chefs and owner of 30 restaurants the PATNA GROUP, he also studied cooking in one of the best cooking schools in L.A. so , with a lot of experience he returned back to his home country and together with his brother Itai who is co owener and manager, bought this most beautiful and one unique places.

JULIAN is located on top of mountains overlooking a magnificent valley at one of the most historic buildings in the country which is the old customs house in the city of ROSH PINA. On the second floor, when you get in, the first thing you see is a suare bar with a fantastic collection of liquors, wines and beers. There are also tables around the bar, and there is a long and beautiful terrace that is overlooking the view, especially breathtaking at night.

The service is excellent and while the Chef is running the kitchen , his brother is over looking the service and everything concerning the restaurant. Excellent ambience, wonderful atmosphere, great wines and spirits,… what else can you possible need? FOOD

Combination of a sushi bar and steak house is an surprising mix but very delicious result. The Chef’s speciality are sauces and they are undeniably amazing. If you happen to be in Israel and touring the north part of the country this is a must.

The best dishes in the house are sesame salmon the beef filet medallions and the breaded fried poultry breast. Prices are between $20 & $35. The sushi menu is amazing with its variety. I particularly liked the spicy tuna, the sea bream, the California rolls and the wonderful plate of the clasic tuna.

The food is displayed beautifully and I am sure that you will get tempted by amazing specials desserts, excellent cocktails and great variety of draft beers. No valet parking yet but there is plenty of space around to park. The erea is full of small restaurants and when you are down in the streets, it feels like a festival.
