Cafe Mishiguene

Café Mishiguene is the casual dining offshoot of the highly acclaimed local restaurant Mishiguene which features the chef’s unique take on Israeli and Middle-Eastern cuisine. The café features a pleasant ambiance with a long communal bar in the center of the restaurant that makes it easy to strike up a friendly conversation with diners sharing the table with you.

The café offers both breakfast and lunch items with a menu featuring both Middle-Eastern and Eastern-European Jewish cuisine. The menu features in-house baked breads like jalea, challah, labneh and bagels, pickled vegetables, hummus and other mezze favorites, and the Mishiguene specialty, pastrami as a plate or sandwich.

The service staff is friendly and attentive. Despite the unique menu, the prices are commensurate with restaurants offering similar quality, décor, and food.
