Chef Hillel Tavakuli kick-started his culinary career in Paris and then moved on to cook at prestigious restaurants in London and Europe. After training at a three-Michelin Star restaurant, he returned to his homeland to take on a new challenge at Pastel, a well-regarded restaurant at the Tel Aviv Museum of Art.
The esteemed culinary guru now prepares a buffet of delicious Mediterranean-Persian fusion dishes at his own venture, a high-end Tel Aviv haunt known as Animar. Seasonal ingredients and a personalized approach define each gourmet dish, with inspiration sourced from all corners of the Mediterranean. Save room for dessert because Hillel is a fully trained pastry chef.
