Mishiguene
Sophisticated take on Jewish cooking
This Jewish-Levant eatery’s popularity shows few signs of dwindling since opening a year ago. A kitsch yet chic bistro, dishes are served to a bouncy Klezmer soundtrack. Israeli-born chef Tomás Kalika creates authentic flavours using organic produce – greens, veg and chicken – where he can. The upshot is "immigrants" cuisine or classy comfort food. Wood-smoked baba ganoush, pan-fried chicken livers and heart, and slow-cooked lamb with couscous are strong menu contenders.
