Ashdod Travelers guide

Culinary arts 185 They really did think they had seen it all, but after a moment of silence and shock they regained composure and admitted: It is doubtful that such a sweet work of art could be found even in Tel Aviv. A moment later they found themselves having a close relationship with a white chocolate mousse combined with espresso Crème brulee' and chocolate toffee, puffs filled with muslin cream, strawberry pie and a crispy Belgian waffle with a scoop of ice cream on the side. Is it surprising that in two minutes they canceled their tickets to Paris? Café Lyon is a French coffee shop chain that has four branches, three in Ashdod and the fourth in Yavne. The chain owners, Shimshon Itach and Yaniv Tal, entrepreneurs from Ashdod, established it as a continuation of the young and dynamic path of its mythological sister, the La Lyons restaurant they established in 1996. Even then, over two decades ago, Itach and Tal wanted to 310move people French style. At Lyon, the coffee shop franchise named after the city of Lyon, which is considered the French culinary capital, they expanded, enlarged, renovated, and revived. They recruited the pastry chef Vered Oranim, a former food technologist at Elite, as the conductor of the fabulous desert section. The Lyon chain manufactures its own cakes and pastries, which are handmade with embedded European frills. However, the menu is carefully adapted to the Israeli pallet. Apart from the indulgent deserts, French country cuisine is served - sandwiches, salads, pasta, soups, pancakes, pizza, quiches, fish and specialty drinks. There was a time Itach and Tal marketed their products to pastry shops around the country, but at a certain point they decided to concentrate in Ashdod and to build their coffee shop empire into a shrine for joie de vivre in commercial centers in their home town. And let the whole country chase them all the way to Ashdod. 1 Hagdud Ha'ivri street, Gan Ha'ir Complex; 47 Jabotinsky street, Star Center Complex, 1 Ariel Sharon street, Big Fashion Complex Sunday- Thursday 08:00 until midnight; Friday 08:00-15:00; Saturday- One hour after the Sabbath ends until midnight
