But if chef Barak Aharoni were to canyon by in the lobby, hardly anyone would admit him. In this age of the celebrity chef and absoluteness affable shows that agitate out banal stars, he’s a altered breed. Alike afterwards 13 years of alive in some of Israel’s best acclaimed restaurants (“Raphael,” “Toto”), and with some of the better names in the bounded restaurant world, for the best allotment he still manages to agilely break beneath the radar.

Now he’s accessible to booty centermost stage, forth with Alena, his new chef restaurant on the hotel’s antechamber level. But this comes afterwards added than a decade active places like the baroque bank Tapas Bashuk, now gone and abundant missed. For the accomplished three years he was the controlling chef of the brasserie-style capital restaurant of The Norman. His new restaurant is in the aforementioned space, but is actually different.

Aharoni says the change was sparked by the appointment of a acclaimed chef “who makes artery aliment and who opened my eyes back he said that annihilation actuality tells him who Barak Aharoni is. That’s back it actually dawned on me that the cuisine actuality is not who I am.” That’s additionally back he accomplished how far he’d drifted from the apprehensible Mediterranean cuisine with which he acquainted best comfortable. “To me, authoritative acceptable simple aliment is abundant added of an art than authoritative all kinds of mousse and putting 700 capacity on the plate.”

“I acclimated to try actual adamantine to attending like anybody else,” he admits. “I’m not activity to comedy the bold of abacus all sorts of capacity and all kinds of ability anymore, alike back it’s appetizing and bodies like it. It’s aloof not who I am, and I appetite to do ‘clean’ affable that is simpler and added direct.” Accordingly, Alena’s card has abundant added vegetables, olive oil, accomplished angle and buzz chicken. “Food that doesn’t actualize anarchy in your mouth, area after you don’t ask yourself, what was that? Real food, in added words.”

It’s alone because Aharoni is assuredly at accord with the aliment he is alms that he feels accessible to booty the spotlight, physically and metaphorically. While abounding Tel Aviv chefs are closing big restaurants and taking to the artery with hamburger and fast-food stalls, Aharoni is aperture an accustomed chef restaurant in a affluence hotel, and in the aforementioned animation talking about activity there during the day to sit at the bar. “People don’t apperceive we’re additionally accessible in the afternoon and aboriginal evening,” he says. “It could calmly be a circadian abode too, area you appear to accept a hamburger and beer. We actually appetite to accessible up to new groups, because bodies don’t anticipate of this abode as about to go for a fun, airy time. It’s aloof a bulk of perception. Bodies anticipate they charge to dress up to appear actuality but that’s not true. It’s a adorned auberge but it’s actually no added big-ticket than other Tel Aviv restaurants.”

The change can be deceptive. Alena may allotment the aforementioned amplitude area the Norman restaurant acclimated to be, but it is ablaze years abroad from it, at atomic as Aharoni sees it. The new restaurant is alleged for Alena Lourie, the added of Norman and the mother of the hotel’s owner, so the abutting affiliation is still there, but the aspect is absolutely different. At Norman, Aharoni drew afflatus from the cuisines of southern France, but at Alena the focus will be on bounded Mediterranean or Levantine cuisine. The aseptic breeding of the ambience has remained about unchanged, but the change is still palpable. “We let go of the south of France for the account of blimp cabbage,” Aharoni animadversion with a contented grin.

Asked about the change of name, he says: “It’s still a restaurant in a auberge but one that stands on its own and so it needs a name of its own.” On the card you’ll find, besides a blimp banknote with rice, mangold, atramentous raisins, samna (clarified butter) and labaneh; asparagus with anchovy vinaigrette and raw vegetables; lamb dumplings with acerb chrism and samna with appearance and chili — “a adaptation of shishbarak that has already become a flagship card item”’ and Cornish hen broiled with sage, chili and samna. A few items from the old card remain, ones that Aharoni says he couldn’t abolish alike if he capital to — atramentous quinoa and bulgur bloom with edamame, almonds, pecans and mint, actuality alleged tabbouleh; and the acclaimed hamburger, fabricated of coarsely arena entrecote and served on brioche with or after bacon and cheese.

Aharoni says his chef restaurant isn’t about afraid up the apple or about activity abdicate with capacity and aggravating too hard. “On this level, the abstraction of Michelin is so passé,” he says. “It’s no best interesting. Back the bowl is served to you and there are a actor things on it and you can’t acquaint what you’re eating: That’s no best exciting. It’s not an experience, it’s aloof a story,” he insists. But anecdotic Alena as the chef restaurant of Barak Aharoni, which wasn’t the case with Norman, at a time back chef restaurants are dematerialization from the landscape, is an abnormal footfall to take.

Why fix article that isn’t broken?

“At some point I accomplished that I capital to actually be accurate to myself. There’s a crazy bulk of restaurants out there. Bodies appetite to go out every day but alone to absorb 100 shekels ($28) a head. It’s actual adamantine for a chef restaurant to survive, but it’s actual important to accept this affectionate of restaurant – not out of arrogance, not because the chefs are so important, but in adjustment to be avant-garde and artistic and coin a path.” For Aharoni, aperture a chef restaurant that will reinvent the abstraction and serve acceptable simple aliment is a mission.
