ABOUT US
PHILOSOPHY
MIZNON BRILLIANTLY COMBINES THE DISTINCTIVE CULINARY CREATIVITY OF CHEF EYAL SHANI WITH THE BEST OF INTERNATIONAL CUISINES.
WE BELIEVE IN TAKING FRESH AND SEASONALLY INSPIRED INGREDIENTS TO CREATE A NEW TAKE ON MEDITERRANEAN STREET FOOD.
OUR VISION IS TO TAKE THE FLAVOUR OF EACH CITY AND TRANSLATE IT INTO A PITA. TO TAKE EACH CITY'S ENERGIES, GROOVE, LONGINGS, AND BEAUTY AND EXPRESS IT ALL IN OUR FOOD.
INGREDIENTS OF EXCEPTIONAL QUALITY ARE SOURCED SEASONALLY AND LOCALLY, WHENEVER POSSIBLE, BRINGING TO LIFE AN ENERGETIC AND DISCONCERTING CULINARY EXPERIENCE.
EYAL SHANI
CHEF EYAL SHANI IS WIDELY REGARDED AS A CULINARY GENIUS OF HIS TIME, OFTEN DESCRIBED AS A "RE-ENCHANTER" OF ISRAELI CUISINE. HIS POETIC AND UNCOMPROMISING APPROACH TO RAW, FRESH, PURE, AND LOCAL INGREDIENTS, COMBINED WITH HIS DESIRE TO DECONSTRUCT THE ESSENCE AND SPIRIT OF NATIONAL CUISINE, SETS HIM APART IN THE CULINARY WORLD.
SINCE HIS DEBUT IN 1989 WITH "OCEANUS," HIS FIRST SEAFOOD RESTAURANT IN HIS NATIVE JERUSALEM, CHEF SHANI HAS ESTABLISHED HIMSELF AS A LEADING FIGURE IN CONTEMPORARY ISRAELI CUISINE.
A SELF-TAUGHT CHEF, HE NOW HEADS OVER 40 RESTAURANTS WORLDWIDE AND HAS BUILT A STELLAR REPUTATION, FURTHER AMPLIFIED BY HIS PASSIONATE ROLE AS A JUDGE ON THE ISRAELI EDITION OF MASTERCHEF. THE PRODUCTS OF HIS REGION—OLIVE OIL, TAHINI, FRESH SEASONAL VEGETABLES, AND, OF COURSE, THE TOMATO, WHICH HE REVERES—FORM THE CORNERSTONE OF HIS UNIQUE AND INSTINCTIVE CULINARY LANGUAGE.
TOGETHER WITH HIS PARTNER, SHAHAR SEGAL, CHEF SHANI CONTINUES TO EXPAND THEIR GASTRONOMIC EMPIRE. THEIR CELEBRATED VENTURES INCLUDE PORT SAID, ROMANO, MIZNON, NORTH ABRAXAS, HASALON, AND MALKA, SPANNING CITIES SUCH AS TEL AVIV, VIENNA, PARIS, CANNES, MELBOURNE, SINGAPORE, LONDON, NEW YORK, AND BOSTON.
