"From the team who brought Miami favorites like My Ceviche and Pura Vida comes a laidback Israeli and Mediterranean cafe in the South of Fifth neighborhood. At lunch and dinner, guests can find more hearty dishes like fattoush, pitas stuffed with falafel and lamb kofta, and whole-roasted branzino, which can be paired with a large selection of Israeli wines." - Amber Love Bond
"Abbalé Telavivian Kitchen is an Israeli restaurant in South of Fifth that’s a nice choice for a Sunday brunch or lazy lunch—especially if it's a nice day since the patio is where you want to be eating. Start with the incredibly creamy hummus or the tamarind-glazed crunchy cauliflower. The dinner menu is heavy on sharable grilled proteins like shawarma-spiced steak and whole fish. But the lunch menu casts a wider net of appeal with dishes like shakshuka, sandwiches like lamb arayes, salads, and a few of the grilled entrees you’ll find during dinner." - ryan pfeffer, mariana trabanino, virginia otazo
"Abba Telavivian Kitchen is an Israeli restaurant in South of Fifth that’s an excellent choice for a weekend brunch or lazy lunch—especially if it's a nice day and you want to eat outside. The brunch menu includes a great shakshuka or Jerusalem bagel. The lunch menu has more good dishes, like crispy falafel and roasted local fish." - ryan pfeffer
"There is an 87% chance you will whisper “This is lovely” to yourself while eating at Abbalé. The Israeli spot does actually feel more like you’re in a Tel Avivian cafe than a South of Fifth restaurant, thanks to the bright magenta bougainvillea lining the front patio, and a casual lounge area directly to the left. The stylish, yet laid-back crowd also doesn’t hurt. For breakfast, choose from Israeli dishes such as the pricey, but massive avo egg feta open-faced sandwich on top of a sesame Jerusalem bagel or the buttery egg and Bulgarian feta bureka (ask them to warm it up). They also recently opened for dinner service, offering dishes like grilled lamb chops, tomato and watermelon salad, and sumac chicken shashlik." - alyson penn, ryan pfeffer
