About Chef Haim Cohen

"My path as a Chef started long before I was aware of it,

as a child taking pleasure in a mother’s kitchen – who was a wonderful cook.

It was my mother who imprinted in me the appreciation and commitment to quality raw materials as the basis of every dish or course.

I believe that food is the way to reach people’s hearts. Food is not only a survival need, but is also a source of comfort, a way to express love and passion, food connects people and cultures.

This is what I do in “Yaffo-Tel Aviv” - bringing the unpretentious food to its good old place in the center of the table, and bringing together the old and the new. "
