Caesarea's Helena Restaurant Offers a Shore-Foraged Menu - AFAR

"Perched on a window-enclosed porch with giant rattan fans and uninterrupted Mediterranean views in Caesarea, this 15-year-old contemporary Levantine restaurant led by Israeli chef Amos Sion centers seafood around shore-foraged herbs and shrubs. Dishes spotlight regional plants such as sea fennel (Crithmum maritimum), ice lettuce (Mesembryanthemum crystallinum), sea arugula, and saltbush—used in preparations like fried saltbush leaves tossed into fish tartare, sea arugula over brown-buttered scallops, and a crunchy, oyster-flavored ice-lettuce Caesar with raw shrimp, brioche croutons, and hard‑boiled egg. A six-plate tasting menu of foraged flavors, introduced last winter and returning from December 20 through early spring, retails for $120 for two (including dessert) with à la carte options also available; reservations are recommended. Collaborating with forager Yatir Sade—who supplies up to eight different coastal plants and runs sea-foraging courses from Pardes Hanna—Sion experiments across seasons (using leaves, flowers, fruits, or seeds as they evolve) to create items such as a reimagined flattened shrimp carpaccio topped with spicy strawberries, halved cherries, red chili, and pine nuts, and mussels infused with sea-fennel flavors. The kitchen emphasizes sustainable foraging practices—harvesting only a small percentage of plants and avoiding roots—while celebrating a uniquely local sea-to-plate approach that few other Israeli restaurants devote an entire menu to. The experience pairs inventive, texturally arresting plates (notably perfectly cooked scallops and inventive shrimp preparations) with the sensory pull of dining beside the shoreline." - Sara Lieberman

EVERYTHING was delicious! I don't even know which dishes to recommend. There were 7 of us and Chef Amos suggested we let him order for us,which was an excellent idea. Every single dish was innovative and interesting. The service was friendly and impeccable. Totally worth the drive (and the money).

Among the three restaurants we went to, we chose this one because it had the highest rating. Simply put, a disappointment. The young woman at the entrance was very kind, but the service from the waiters was terrible. They clearly didn’t feel like working and answered our questions with a bad attitude. We ordered: A focaccia — it was good, nothing special. A fish shawarma — this was the best dish of the night, but honestly, it was just a basic shawarma with no surprises. Shrimp in coconut and mango cream — plain and boring. And finally, pork ribs — the worst dish of the night. Bad flavor, undercooked, and just awful. I don’t recommend it and I wouldn’t go back. The view was nice, though.

Large dishes, high quality, great atmosphere. Definitely good value for money in the Caesarea address, and it's not kosher which is a great plus. Take a look at the photos. The fish and the mussels were amazing. The steak didn't excite me, but it was good. Envoy!

🙂 Fancy and gorgeous restaurants placed on the shore and offer high-quality dishes with great taste. However, the service was poor and it seem like the waiters slept during their shift so that, we needed to take care of ourselves for a few things. #Hellna FYI

Excellent salad appetizers, with subtle, intriguing flavors; very good pork main; and a delicious dessert. The focaccia bread is outstanding. Noise level is moderate to energetic from the guests Friendly staff. We sat outside on the terrace in the early evening, and lost a few napkins to the breeze!

High price but great food. Mug you are willing to pay a high price for a good quality dinner in a place with amazing view and atmosphere, this is the place. The menu is pretty big. Recommend to order an entire and a main dish, cruise the entries are pretty small but good. The service is very good, and the view is amazing. We order a white wine that I deeply recommend. Great place for a special occasion or a nice evening in the amazing Caesarea.

Nice chef restaurant led by head chef Amos Sion! We came for an evening dinner. We recieved long table near the window with the view of the beach. The food was tasty, half of the menu was Gluten free which was nice. The restaurant located at the Ceasarea Harbot . There is a parking at the entrance of the harbor (4 minutes walk from the restaurant). The first dishes were very tasty (a bit salty for my taste), the main dishes were ok...my shrimp dish was a bit undercooked (the restaurant not kosher in case you wondered), Mediterranean kitchen. The price wasn't too expensive, paid around 1100 ils for 5 people. The clientele were families, high society, business partners (I suppose...) as the restaurant have a simple design not to fancy. The atmosphere was not the best ,not to noisy but there was no music at all, the lights are white and strong . The service was excellent, the waiter took an order from each one of us and took notes about the allergies of the members to try to change the dishes if possible, the food was on the table after 5 minutes of waiting. the cons for me were that the furniture and the plates were not prestige (as i expected from this kind of restaurant) And the taste of the dishes, I was at the partner restaurant (Uri Buri in Akko) and the dishes were much more tasty. In overall the restaurant is good. Recommended.
