Unlike its big brother, Doron de Clichy is more chic and offers a table service. Here you come to share a beautiful table with your partner or friends and you share a beautiful piece of meat cut before your eyes.

The décor is a chic bar in the front, the kitchen visible through the glass roof and a warm and cosy atmosphere. In this place, we wanted to recreate the atmosphere of the Roaring Twenties and the Prohibition in Tel Aviv.

So, we know that pita, falafel, hummus or zaatar is not an Israeli monopoly. Israel and especially Tel Aviv gathers the diaspora from all over the world and one can taste a whole range of dishes.

At Doron Ba Laila, you can discover the divine smoked eggplant caviar seasoned with garlic, lemon and herbs. We like the Sabich with Amba sauce and its poached egg. And we are seduced by the caramelized chicken wings to share.

For the main course, you can opt for the veal chop with seasonal vegetables, the pan-fried tuna steak with shitak or the chicken supreme with tagliatelle. But the best plan is really the piece of meat to share. Prime rib, shoulder of lamb or others, we obviously fall for it. On the program of our beautiful butcher's cut, 4 sauces (bearnaise, mushroom wine, sesame and teriyaki) and two accompaniments (fried potatoes and roasted vegetables).

We finish with good home-made desserts: it's tarte tatin and tarte poire chocolat for us! Very crispy and accompanied by vanilla ice cream, we finish in greediness.

What if we had a nice gourmet table in the 9th district?
