"This Israeli restaurant is close to—but not inside—the Aventura Mall. So it’s a great place to reward yourself with ice cream after surviving one of the city’s most chaotic parking garages. Abbalé is a proper restaurant (not an ice cream shop), but it’s also totally acceptable to just sit at the bar and order the tahini soft serve. It comes in a tall swirl, drizzled with date honey and topped with a little toupée of halvah fluff. It’s a little salty, very creamy, and so much more exciting than the cotton candy vending machine in the Aventura Mall." - virginia otazo, ryan pfeffer, mariana trabanino
