The fish was absolutely insane — so light and flavorful! The second dish was a little on the fishy side, but that first one totally blew me away. I left the place feeling amazing — usually after eating out I feel heavy, but not this time. I only tried one drink and it was really good. I didn’t get to sample too many items from the menu, but everything we did try was spot-on. Can’t wait to go back and try more!
Dishes were made up of healthy fresh ingredients, the mix was original and the result very tasty! Our only disappointment was the fish cubes (fish somewhat dry, and nothing particular to remember). We had the ceviche, laid on a soup gaspacho, zucchini and fish swarma, with the lemon pie in desert. We recommend all of them! We went there in the evening, with all surrounding shops/restaurants closed, so on the one hand, quiet, and on the other hand gave a strange feeling of empty streets. Surely, lunch would feel very different! Last, we felt that the price was well worth it.
Great experience!
The food is delicious. We tried almost everything on the menu, except okra and one of the fish.
We started with the fish skewers and they were all excellent!
The green salad is very good - we ordered it twice!
The fish cubes were very tender and excellent!
The whole baked fish looked like it was burned but it was one of the most yummy fish we ate!
I will definitely be visiting this place again.
Lunch/dinner.
Love this place, this is a hidden gem in the Carmel Market, simple looking at the beginning, but then you get to the food - wonderful fish dishes combined veggie options all are fresh and very tasty.
We booked a table in advance, Monday Eve right at the opening time (19:00).
Service is great, very chill and professional.
We ordered a couple of dishes from the aperitif menu (40-50 NIS and drinks 20-25)
And from the main menu, that was very mesmerizing because all the options look great.
Totally a VFM place
Definitely will come back
WOW!
We were at the merloza carmel on Friday morning after a trip in the market.
We sat there to drink excellent beer (I think it was Estrella) and amazing dishes like ceviche, artichoke, salad. Charming service and wonderful music that gives a great mood.
