Breakfast: Saquella and Benedicts



Saquella (46 King George St.)
Fungi Breakfast. Mushroom omelette with Israeli salad and loaf of warm bread. Spreads: Feta with red peppers, laboneh, cream cheese, tuna, guacamole, tzaziki, olives, butter, and raspberry jam.




A typical Israeli breakfast usually consists of: Israeli salad http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Israeli_salad, eggs (usually an omelette), bread, and various spreads (cheeses, butter etc.). Israelis enjoy breakfasts sooo much that most cafes around Tel Aviv will serve breakfast all day. Saquella is a cafe across the street from my apartment where I can safely say I have had breakfast at least 10 times since moving here. All of their omelettes come with a loaf of warm bread, spreads, israeli salad, a juice and a coffee and are more than enough for two people to share.


Benedicts (29 Rothschild (& Allenby) & 171 Ben Yehuda)
Warm Bread. Spreads: Chocolate, raspberry jam, and butter. (Complimentary)

Pancakes were the highlight of the meal. Thick but with a light/airy texture. Everything else was pretty good. I personally think Benedicts is a little overrated but I am willing to go back.
