Nevel David Brasserie has opened in Jerusalem’s Kikar HaMusika, also known as Music Square. The new dairy restaurant serves separate brunch and evening menus, moving from eggs and brioche in the morning to fish, pasta and pizza at dinner. The restaurant also serves a choice of salads across both menus, with cheeses, vegetables and different dressings.
Brunch With a French Accent
The morning menu includes a croque madame with mixed cheeses, spinach bechamel and two sunny-side-up eggs for NIS 72. Eggs Benedict, served on butter-seared brioche with hollandaise and a choice of spinach bechamel or smoked salmon, costs NIS 84. Shakshuka comes with cloud bread, dips and a side salad for NIS 68.
There are also avocado and poached eggs on bruschetta, scrambled egg brioche with Parmesan, and Italian brioche toast with goat’s cheese, mozzarella and cherry tomato jam. Sweet dishes include French toast with creme fraiche, maple syrup and seasonal fruit for NIS 72, or pancakes with pastry cream for NIS 64.
Fish, Pasta and Pizza at Dinner
The evening menu starts with taboon focaccia, four-cheese arancini and sweet potato steak with labneh, pecans, tahini and date syrup. Raw fish options include salmon ceviche for NIS 76 and meagre sashimi with yellow tomato gazpacho for NIS 82.
Meagre schnitzel comes in a panko crust with potato puree, lemon aioli and a side salad for NIS 138. Salmon is paired with green risotto for NIS 138 or lemon butter gnocchi for NIS 146.
